The story of God's people in the Bible is set in a particular place and at a particular time. It is linked to the land: "The land you are crossing [the Jordan] to occupy is a land of hills and valleys, watered by rain from the sky, a land that the Lord your God looks after." (Deuteronomy 11:11-12). Journeys take up much of the Bible, from the travels of Abraham to the years of wandering of the Hebrews. The Jews went into exile in Babylon and Persia, Jesus journeyed around Galilee and Judea, and Paul took a series of missionary journeys throughout the Mediterranean world. This atlas provides a clear set of annotated maps offering an accessible background to these and more Bible stories, and acts as a companion to the Candle Bible Handbook, with newly commissioned maps.
