Concise Bible Atlas: A Geographical Survey of Bible History

Rating:
Summary: A Very Readable Overview of Bible History & Geography
Review: I have assigned Laney's CONCISE BIBLE ATLAS for a couple of semesters now as the text for the college class I teach on Bible History and Geography. Other bible atlases contain more appealing maps, but Laney's book shines in its written text. Each of the sixteen chapters describes a period of history, from the primeval period to the present, from the perspective of the biblical record and the lands involved. Geographical features are highlighted for each historical period. I recommend the book for anyone looking for an historical survey of the biblical period and the lands involved. And with only 261 pages, the book is not a lengthy read.
