Product Description
The new Deluxe: Then and Now: Bible Map Book comes with Clear Plastic Overlays of Modern Cities and Countries plus Bonus CD-ROM (The digital files on this CD-ROM are for personal use only, not to transmit, use on the Internet, or for sale). Now you can compare the Middle East during Bible times with modern-day cities and countries. The clear plastic overlays make it easy to see where Bible places are today. People say, I've been looking for this for years! Make your Bible reading more interesting by telling Bible stories using today's geography and events in the news. For example, you could say: Daniel was taken as a POW to Iraq (where the ruins of Babylon are today south of Baghdad) and lived there the rest of his life; The ruins of Nineveh are in Northern Iraq near Mosul in Kurdish areas; Noah's Ark probably landed in Turkey (Mt. Ararat is in northeastern Turkey); Paul was brought up in what would be Turkey today (Tarsus). He preached in Syria, Turkey, Greece and Italy; The wise men were probably from Iran or Saudi Arabia; Jesus went to four countries: Egypt, Jordan, Israel, and Lebanon (Sidon and Tyre); Abraham crossed Iraq and Syria to get to the Promised Land (the Holy Land today).

MORE THAN MAPS! March 3, 2008

This is definitely a great source for finding Biblical locations and referencing them to present day geography however it is so much more than that. Biblical history is summarized in charts and diagrams. The Time Lines of the Old Testament and New Testament reference the books of the Bible to Biblical history, World history, and politcal rulers (Old Testament) of the time. Activities of Jesus' life are indexed by date on the NT Time Line. Much attention is given to Paul's travels in text as well as with maps. The fold-out maps(seperate item) are a great help to quickly locate areas however this source provides even more details to the maps and offers much more than can be summarized on the fold-outs.
A very useful collection April 7, 2008

The historical facts presented, with overlays of present-day situations are extremely useful for Bible study and teaching. The JPGs of the maps save so much of time in preparing notes and presentations.
Great Bible Study Help June 22, 2008
Merry Mary (Nashville, TN)
This book has been an excellent help in my Bible study, as it helps me locate the area I am reading about in the Bible and shows on the map overlay what that country is called now.
Highly recommended.
