Then and Now Bible Maps

by Rose Publishing

Compare Biblical Places with Today's Cities and Countries
What countries today occupy the Bible lands of 2,000+ years ago? Are the borders of Persia in Bible times the same as the borders of Iran today? The answers to these questions and countless others are found in the Then & Now Bible Maps eBook. This fascinating reference tool contains seventeen Bible maps showing the locations of ancient cities and countries in comparison with modern-day cities and boundaries. What a great way to compare places in today's news with places in the Bible.

You will love the amazing Then & Now Bible Maps eBook. The Then and Now Maps make the Bible more relevant and meaningful by showing biblical sites in relation to modern day cities and countries. The widely acclaimed Then and Now Bible Maps eBook from Rose Publishing brings fresh perspective to traditional Bible accounts. When you see biblical places compared with modern-day cities and countries, you can experience the Bible in a richer way. A few examples:
• Daniel was taken as POW to Babylon and lived there the rest of his life. The ruins of Babylon are south of Baghdad, in present day Iraq.
• The ruins of Nineveh are in Northern Iraq near the Kurdish city of Mosul
• The wise men were probably from Iran or Saudi Arabia
• Queen Esther's palace in Susa was about 100 miles northeast of Kuwait City

Then & Now Bible Maps makes it easy to see where Persia is today and the places Paul's first missionary journey would take him if traveling the same route today. Below are just a few of the maps included in this incredible resource:
• The Middle East map during Bible times and today
• The Assyrian Empire, Babylonian Kingdoms and Persian Empire
• The Holy Land: 1020 BC and 900 BC & Now
• Places of Jesus' Ministry Then (26-30 AD) & Now

Then & Now Bible Maps eBook makes it easy to compare locations that are familiar in the Bible with modern day locations. On each of the seventeen maps, Bible places are shown in black type and modern-day cities and countries appear in red type. The maps also provide helpful historic information. For example:
• "The Holy Land: Then & Now" shows the historical and modern-day names of cities within the regions occupied by the Twelve Tribes and how the Twelve Tribes divide up the land.
• "Paul's Journeys: Then & Now" shows the Seven Churches of Asia found in Revelation 1-3 (now in present day Turkey), cities and towns, ancient ruins, mountains, modern capital cities and a key for measuring the distance traveled from city to city
• "Empires & Kingdoms: Then & Now" shows the changing boundaries of the Assyrian Empire, Babylonian Kingdom, and Persian Empire

Then & Now Bible Maps is a fascinating resource that you will refer to again and again when you are studying the Bible.

I have the physical version of this document (6 page fan-fold brochure), not the kindle version. I was afraid that the digital (kindle) version would be too small when viewed on my phone.

I love the physical version! The maps are large and the text is large and easy to read. The maps come from the "Then and Now Bible Maps with Clear Plastic Overlays of Modern-Day Cities and Countries" book and include both the Then (Bible Times) and Now (Modern Times) information on each map. None of the timelines from the "Then and Now Bible Maps" book is included in this brochure.

I highly recommend this document as a portable resource for use with Bible study.

E-version is SO pixellated that it is unreadable. I returned it & bought a printed copy. That was MUCH more readable. It shows the territories allocated for each tribe. I still felt left in the dark when trying to find some Biblical locations. Maybe their locations aren't really known.

Need a refund

It looks awful in the Kindle edition, and is not really viewable at all, so I'll be calling for a refund.

Very nice book of maps showing Biblical areas and the differences between ancient and modern cities.

Lovely addition to teaching Biblical history for homeschooling! I will definitely plan to use this as a resource when I am a wife and mother and I am home-teaching my children.

Then and Now Bible Maps is an excellent reference document to help us understand the Bible better.

The maps are colorful with large, clear print. The overlays showing how Biblical locations correlate to cities and countries of current day making the locations clearer and more relatable. Knowing that events of the Bible took place in actual, geographic locations make the events more real.

The timelines pack a lot of information into a little space and comparing the Biblical events to what is going on in the world around helps to ground everything in history.

in Kindle, the maps are extraordinarily SMALL!

Even when you increase the font size, the maps themselves are miniscule. What good is a map book when the fonts are readable, but the maps are tiny? Even when you maximize the size, the maps pixilate and become unreadable.
