I know a “bible atlas” is not Sacred Scripture, but I figured the people who hang out here would be the ones to ask:

Which Bible Lands Atlas do you use/recommend? I have to get a new one so…thanks!
 
How much do you want to spend?

A simple and inexpensive but functional set is the following:

Student Bible Timeline
amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0948902817/qid=1087274492/sr=1-2/ref=sr_1_2/102-3222543-6691334?v=glance&s=books
and
The Student Bible Atlas
amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0806620382/qid=1107570935/sr=1-3/ref=sr_1_3/102-3222543-6691334?v=glance&s=books

A much more informative (and attractive) volume is the following. It’s not Catholic, but I have found nothing contrary to Catholic teaching in it. It even has a chapter which covers the time period of I & II Maccabees.:

The Holman Bible Atlas
amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0684819139/qid=1107571050/sr=2-1/ref=pd_ka_b_2_1/102-3222543-6691334
(Protestant, but free from bias)
 
Thanks, Fidelis. I’ll definitely check the Holman out. Is it a dictionary and an atlas??? :confused:

It is not a dictionary, but it is an atlas that provides lots of historical background for each important time period in the Holy Land, all the way from Genesis to the Second Jewish Revolt.

The Holman link is to a bible dictionary. At least I have the name. Thanks!
 
Found it–looks great. Do you also have the Holman Book of Biblical Charts, Maps, and Reconstructions??

Anytime you can recommend this sort of thing, please PM me. Thanks again.

Sorry about the wrong link! I know you found it, but here is the (correct) link just in case:

amazon.com/gp/product/1558197095/qid=1143601290/sr=2-1/ref=pd_bbs_b_2_1/102-6497865-4749751?s=books&v=glance&n=283155

No I don’t have the other Holman reference; I’ll have to check it out. I have lots of other recommendations for Bible Study aids on my website, linked below.
