Holman QuickSource Bible Atlas with Charts and Biblical Reconstructions Paul Wright 9780805494457 Books Reviews

• I purchased this book as a reward for extra effort in my Sunday school class, and I was really amazed at how good a book it is. For a paperback, this book has a narrow page width, or I suppose you could say the pages have a greater length than typical. The pages are also are not ment to be bent back at the binding, but they have an area a short distance from the binding where the pages are designed to 'bend.' This design for a paperback is new to me, although perhaps some of you are familiar with this. The overall design of the book lends itself well to tables, charts and maps. Most tables fit well in this design, and charts may be reproduced by using adjoining pages to make a larger image. Most maps of Israel are necesarily longer and narrower than other maps you see, so this format works well there as well. The whole thing seemed really modern to me, kind of like wide-screen, but the bottom line is the practicality of it. Now, considering it has most all of the hardcover complete Holman Bible Atlas, then you have quite a handy refernce at a reasonable price with enhanced designed functionality. Don't hesitate on this one. It's a real winner
• I am a Bible school teacher in Johannesburg, South Africa and when I read the reviews on this book I just had to have it. Since I live in South Africa and am a for Mac user, I bought the version as it is easier and quicker to get a hold of.
  
  I am very happy and impressed with my purchase except for one important fact this book is based mostly on visual material, and I'm sure it is wonderful in the paperback format, but the version shows very small images which are difficult to read. When one zooms in on the images, almost all resolution is lost and the text cannot be read at all.
  
  Please let me know how I can acquire higher resolution versions of these images or is it possible to get a refund for this book or have the paperback mailed to me in South Africa?
• Love this atlas. Second time buying it as we wore the first one out. Lol
• Was not what I was looking for, but it is a nice reference book.
• It's been a pleasant surprise to see how a knowledge of the geography of Palestine can illuminate the biblical text. There is context here about why certain events in the Bible happened where they did, and how biblical locations correspond to the modern map of the world. Some history too.
  
  Downside is that quality of the pictures isn't that great--not very clear.
• This is a great resources to increase your biblical understanding!
• I was VERY disappointed with the version of the text. The charts would be wonderful if they were readable. The scans are low quality and pixilate when they are expanded to full screen view.
• I'm half way through reading this atlas. Great maps. Shows elevations very well. Helps you visualize the locations well. So far, information is accurate except for their interpretations of significance of numbers. Based on the first half of this book, highly recommend this as a resource for Bible students.
