CEB Bible Map Guide: Explore the Lands of the Old and New Testaments

Large, easy to read, well made

I have a couple Bible atlases (the Holman is also superb, especially for the narrative), but for the purpose of simply looking up locations, this is the best I've ever seen. Here are the strengths:1) Huge format, 15" x 10". This means that those myriad locations aren't jammed into a tiny space in the back of your bible -- if the index says "B5," you can actually find it.2) National Geographic maps. Nothing more need be said.3) Complete index.4) Brief narrative and some useful charts opposite each map. Some of the narratives are "Sunday-schoolish," but that's OK.5) Surprisingly good binding. I don't know bindery terms, but this is heavy, durable paper, stitched into three folios, and glued to a very heavy paper cover. For the price, I was expecting cheaper paper and glue only. With reasonable care, this book will last a good while.6) Price, price, price! Buy one for yourself, one for the church library, and one for every Sunday School room.Weak points are very minor, and don't detract at all:1) I can't imagine ever needing, or being interested in, a map of "Ezekiel's Vision of 12 Restored Tribes" (map 11).2) Maps 9 & 10, David/Solomon's Jerusalem and Second Temple Jerusalem, could easily have been put on a single page. I would love a map of modern Jerusalem, overlaying the ancient sites.3) Any attempt to put all of Paul's journeys on a single map, as here, is inevitably confusing. I would prefer a smaller, separate map for each.This is an amazing value: it belongs in every church, and on every Bible student's shelf.

The maps in the CEB Study Bible are wonderful. As a result, when I discovered that this book was available, I ordered one. With the information given telling what each map is illustrating and which Bible book it can be found in, I find myself using the maps more than I ever did before. I attend an adult Bible study that has been meeting at 7 AM every Wednesday for breakfast and in depth study. The book is wonderful to use there because of the oversized maps and the strong material that they are printed on. I think every church should have one of these books available in its library.

Excellent! Almost exactly what I wanted. Though the size is large, it isn't unwieldy. This provides for more detail (and larger print) than the maps in the back of the Bible. This is not a scholarly device, it is a helpful tool for providing geographical visuals to the scripture narrative. That's something that helps me get into the Bible story. Though it doesn't outline every narrative (beginning with the Abraham's departure from Ur) all biblical locations I've looked for can be found on at least one of the maps. Excellent cost-product value. Highly recommend.

This can help give you a idea of the towns Jesus visited before and during his ministry. I am sure he knew the men before he started. He probably worked with with them , knew what kind of people they were before selecting them, except for Judas. He knew to expect him .I do wish they had made the map larger of the sea and areas around it

Love it! colorfull maps and biblical history with provided scriptures. Highly recommend it. Not pocket sized if that’s what your looking for.Perfect for my needs.

I love the bible. I love maps. I used to love National Geographic (and this is from that time). It will be great to help me explain the intertestimental period when I teach youth Sunday School this week.

Love the large format, which is so much easier to see.
