Each is illustrated with larger maps covering the whole period and a number of smaller maps, illustrations, and photographs. There are twelve sub-sections: Before Abraham, Patriarchs, Sojourn in Egypt, Wilderness and Conquest, United Monarchy, Divided Monarchy, the Assyrian, Babylonian, Persian, Hellenistic, Maccabean and Roman eras. Like the New Moody Atlas, this historical approach is a richly illustration overview of biblical history. The largest section of this 352 page atlas is part two, Historical Geography (150 pages). The section concludes with two pages of modern Israel maps with archaeology sites marked. First, a 44 page introduction covers basic geographical regions, climate, and economy, and archaeology of the Bible. The volume is divided into four sections. Dozens of specialty maps are inserted into the Historical Geography and the Regional Maps are completely new for this volume. But this atlas is far more than maps drawn from the Study Bible.

It appears that the contours of the maps show mountains have been toned down for the Atlas. For example, “The Setting of the Judges” map ( ESVSB 434 / ESVA 4-15) is slightly larger, while the map “The Judges of Israel” on the next page is the same size. Because of the quality of paper used in the Atlas, the same maps are easier to read and in some cases larger. In many cases identical maps appear in both volumes. David Barrett oversaw the maps and John Currid was the Old Testament Archaeology editor for the ESVSB. The ESV Bible Atlas is a companion to the popular ESV Study Bible.

Particularly innovative is the use of terrain imagery to facilitate the reader’s understanding of such Biblical viewpoints as that of Abraham from Hebron over the cities of the plain or Moses from Mt. This volume will become an indispensable companion for Bible students, fulfilling every expectation you might have of such a tool.
