Title: Not a very good source of informative maps
Review: Man, I don't know what it is about so-called Bible Atlases, but they seem to be a dime a dozen. But very few of them offer actually useful maps, and this is not one of them. There are page after page of tangential information, including a breakdown of the many Christian religions and what they each believe (not that I'd trust any one author to get all of that right). But try to find a decent Bible map in this book, and you'll be disappointed. I mean a GOOD map with ACTUAL value relating to the various periods in Biblical history. This book seems to almost be written for a juvenile audience. For serious students of Biblical history, I STRONGLY recommend the "St. Joseph Atlas Of The Bible" by Tim Dowley. It is a smaller, less expensive, but incomparably superior collection of maps (79 of them) that are ordered in order of the books of the Bible, so you can actually use the maps as you read through the Bible. This Rose Book is basically useless in that regard.
Is the review positive or negative?
