From Booklist
This work is an introduction to the geography of the biblical world and an extension of the maps and other geographical information found in the ESV Study Bible (Crossway, 2008). The first of four parts provides an overview of the land in which the Israelites settled and a description of the relationship between archaeology and biblical studies. The second addresses the places and events mentioned in the books of the Bible. In this part, for example, the story of the exodus of the Hebrews from Egypt is not only described but also illustrated with a map showing the traditional route scholars believe they took as well as three alternatives and photographs of Mt. Sinai, where it is traditionally located. Part 3 is a collection of maps that spans the whole of Bible history and ranges geographically from Anatolia to North Africa. Part 4 provides various appendixes and indexes, such as a time line of biblical history, a general index, a scripture index, and an index of known biblical sites. Finally, a CD-ROM accompanies the atlas, providing digital versions of the historical maps. The ESV in the title refers to the English Standard Version of the Bible. First published in 2001, it strives to be an essentially literal translation from a team committed to historic Christian orthodoxy. It would be safe to assume the conservative-Evangelical stance of that translation will also be found in the information presented in this atlas. Recommended for theological and research libraries as well as libraries with strong collections in biblical archaeology. --Christopher McConnell
Review
“A remarkably beautiful and rich resource for historical, geographical, and archaeological background material that will deepen our understanding of each section of the Bible and increase our appreciation of the Bible's amazing historical accuracy.”
—Wayne Grudem, Research Professor of Theology and Biblical Studies, Phoenix Seminary
“This Atlas is a wonderfully illustrated tool to aid the layperson, student of the Scripture, or pastor who wants to dig deeper and gain new insights and appreciation of the setting, context, and message of the Bible. The text is easy to follow, pictures are brilliant, and maps are incredibly useful as the reader moves through the related narratives. I highly recommend this marvelous resource.”
—James K. Hoffmeier, Professor of Old Testament & Near Eastern Archaeology, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School
“During the 44 years I served as a college professor I used many good atlases. However, I have never seen one comparable to this in the breadth of material, the depth of coverage, and the outstanding quality of its impressive and abundantly illustrated maps and photos of Bible lands.”
—John McRay, Professor Emeritus of New Testament and Archaeology, Wheaton College Graduate School, Wheaton, IL
“I had the privilege of being involved in the production of drawings based on the latest research for the ESV Study Bible. It is a joy to see these drawings plus the original ESV Study Bible maps, woven together with numerous new maps, brilliantly evocative photographs and useful indexes to make up the new Crossway Bible Atlas. This volume will become an indispensable companion for Bible students, fulfilling every expectation you might have of such a tool. Particularly innovative is the use of terrain imagery to facilitate the reader’s understanding of such Biblical viewpoints as that of Abraham from Hebron over the cities of the plain or Moses from Mt. Nebo.”
—Leen Ritmeyer, Archaeological Consultant

Quick Comparative Review of a marvelous Bible Atlas: ESV
By DR-J-J
Having seen the detailed reviews of several others, I wanted to focus on some things that teachers/pastors/or strong lay leaders might be interested in. How does the ESV Bible Atlas compare to other wonderful Bible Atlases? How usable is it?
The Crossway ESV Bible Atlas is a marvelous resource. I would be shocked that anyone would ever rate it lower than a 4 star resource. I gave it 5. But I noticed that if you read the reviews for the other major Bible atlases, that you see similar reviews. They all tout how marvelous this and that atlas is and how it is the one to buy. So, how does the ESV Bible Atlas stack up? What are strength and weaknesses? How about teaching resources?
As a teacher, let me point out two key things that make this Bible Atlas stand out: the ESV includes a CD with digital maps and searchable indexes, and, in addition, a removable, 17 x 22-inch map of Palestine. The wall map is very nice, but probably too small to be considered a "wall map." Still, very nice. (It is inside the back cover). The CD-ROM is worth the price of the book by itself. It is highly useful, and unlike one other reviewer, I thought the resolutions are wonderful. No, you don't get the high-def brilliant images that are in part 4 of the book, but you can easily print (note: I am not saying you should) an 8x10 or larger copy and you will not notice any poor image quality.
The CD-ROM:
As a teacher, I can imagine using these images in a PowerPoint presentation or on a hand-out. They are wonderful. So, the question becomes, is that permissible? I couldn't find a direct answer, but many reviewers have said that this can be done. Several bloggers mention, "These maps can be easily added to Powerpoint for use in the classroom." I will update this, if I find out differently. Obviously, if the user has permission to use these maps in PowerPoints or hand-outs for a class, this makes this Atlas top choice for teachers and other leaders.
The CD-ROM comes with 127 maps that are taken from the Bible Atlas (and a couple from the ESV Study Bible?). How big? One is a 1575×2298 pixel map of Palestine and the ANE in the late Bronze Age. Another is a map of the Roman Empire that is an amazing 2240×1463 pixels. Most of the others are smaller, but they fit nicely on a page, and look very good and readable. The CD-ROM indexes these maps by chapter and number. A HTML starter page gives brief descriptions. For me, the easiest way to use the maps is 1) use the book as a guide to what I want, or 2) just pull up my Windows Picture Preview pane and scroll through the maps that way.
As far as I know, the only other Atlas that gives digital maps is "Biblica: The Bible Atlas" (and only certain editions of that) and that is a big plus to have such usable Bible Maps in a handy CD-ROM format. Much like the ESV Bible Atlas, I recommend Biblica for the CD-ROM of Maps, just be sure you get the edition that has the CD-ROM Biblica: The Bible Atlas: The Story of the Greatest Story Ever Told (with CD-ROM and in Slipcase). Biblica's maps are the same (or nearly so) as the maps you see in New Moody Bible Atlas. Doh! I am failing to mention Rose Publications maps. They now have CD-ROM's of their maps. Rose maps are known for clarity, color, and usability. You are certain to have rights to use the Rose Publication maps, just purchase the right format for you. Rose Publication maps are much "simpler" and cleaner looking, but if you teach kids or lay people, they are great. There is also an online set of maps form BibleMapper.
How about the Atlas itself?
Crossway's ESV Bible Atlas is amazing. I recommend it whole heartedly. Throw in the CD-ROM and it is a no-brainer. :) If I could only buy one Bible Atlas, the ESV Bible Atlas would be top on my list. The detail of the text (and yes, this is a "study atlas") is outstanding. The only other recent atlas that comes close is the New Moody Atlas of the Bible(2009) which was just recently updated. Some will prefer the New Moody Atlas of the Bible to the Crossway ESV Bible Atlas. That is understandable. They are both so solid and have so many maps and so much good historical and societal information that it is very hard to place one above the other. And if that isn't tough enough, I put Zondervan's Atlas of the Bible (rev. ed.) right there in the mix. All three are outstanding. *(I love Rasmussen's first hand experience and his clear text which supports some of the most beautiful maps I have seen in an Atlas...be sure to get latest edition).
The ESV Bible Atlas is such a solid buy, I don't see how you would be disappointed. If you don't need/want the CD-ROM and want good technical details and history, Beitzel's New Moody Atlas of the BibleThe New Moody Atlas of the Bible is every bit as solid. Dr. Beitzel has many years of experience both in the classroom and in the Middle East. Where he shines is that he presents alternatives to a biblical question and then provides his possible solution. Rasmussen's text is that of a first hand historian and archeologist; he knows the land so well, and that comes out in his Atlas Zondervan Atlas of the Bible. The beauty of the maps are unsurpassed. The other Bible atlases (IVP) may also be excellent, but I think that most would agree that the level of detail and information, the clarity and beauty of the maps, and the cultural and historical information within are best with Crossway's ESV, the New Moody, and Rasmussen's Atlas from Zondervan.
Enjoy!

Great Product for Study
By Brendan Knox
I've always enjoyed maps. This is most clearly evident in my early childhood and pre-teen years. It began with drawing maps of fantasy lands and the drawing of battles upon maps of the world collected free from the library. I fondly remember asking my Grandma for a Webster's Geographical Dictionary and promptly receiving the volume for my birthday which sits on my shelf to this day. For a time, I even contemplated putting up "map-of-the-world" wallpaper on the walls of my bedroom and bathroom. Though I have moved on to other subjects of interest I still enjoy looking at maps and putting historical events in their geographical context. It was therefore with great excitement that I opened up the newly released ESV Bible Atlas from Crossway. I am a user of the ESV translation and I have greatly appreciated the work Crossway has done with this translation, especially with last years ESV Study Bible which is a very helpful (and hefty!) volume.
Geography is a very important area of study but takes on a special importance when geography is intimately involved with the events that took place in the Word of God. It is in time and place in which the revelation of God took place through history. The Biblical interpreter should have an intimate understanding of the geographical and historical conditions surrounding the events of Scripture. In this regard, the ESV Bible Atlas is an indispensable tool for doing historical and geographical research. The atlas has four sections:
Part 1: This section is an introduction and overview of the Biblical world providing historical information in the text regarding the surrounding lands and customs of these ancient peoples.
Part 2: This is the majority of the atlas taking about 200 pages and serves as a chronological guide to the whole of Scripture beginning in Genesis and concluding with the destruction of Jerusalem in A.D. 70. There is a helpful section on the inter-testamental period covering geographical and historical information that is crucial to understanding the context of the New Testament.
Part 3: This section is about 40 pages of beautiful, highly-detailed full color maps on glossy paper. There are maps throughout the text on almost every other page but this section contains the largest maps and the most detail for these various areas.
Part 4: This section has a number of helpful charts providing chronologies of Biblical history, kings of Israel, and the Herodian Dynasty. The index is contained in this section as well.
The text is engaging and very well written and could serve as a basic Old and New Testament survey covering the major events and providing geographical and archeological information. There are photos on almost every page of both archeological artifacts and sites as well as modern photography of the Biblical lands. Throughout the text there are a number of "excursus" sections providing information on such subjects as The Garden of Eden, The Golden Calves, The Lachish Letters, and Alexandria among others. There are also a large variety of illustrations, many taken from the ESV Study Bible but there appears to be new ones as well. If you are in the market for a Bible atlas (and you should be if you don't have one) I would highly recommend this volume for any student of Scripture which provides a comprehensive view of the lands of the Bible and makes a valuable reference tool.
Thank you to Crossway for providing me with a review copy!

Great Bible Atlas: Bonus CD Was Disappointing
By Daniel M. Wright
The ESV BIBLE ATLAS is an exquisite, well-crafted and accessible volume. The level of detail and the quality of the maps make this a very useful tool for "getting it right" when attempting to place biblical events in their proper location and context. This hard cover edition has significant weight and size, while not being too cumbersome.
There is a pull-out, physical map of the land of "Palestine" in full color that is nice, but a little small.
Along with the usual writings and maps one would expect, this atlas contains a number of historic illustrations of ancient architecture and particularly a series that shows Jerusalem's growth over time; with the development of the subsequent Holy Temples there. Archaeologist and temple mount historian, Leen Ritmeyer, was an adviser on this atlas project and his team had a significant hand in the development of these scholarly illustrations. They look exquisite!
For me, the only disappointment with this atlas was the promised CD inside the back cover. The disc contained a simple HTML file with links to low-resolution maps in chronological/biblical order. Pretty good for quick study, but I was hoping for a little more bang for the buck!
Four Stars! All-in-all a refreshing and accurate book that will assist many in learning more about the Bible.
