[John · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is an excellent, short Bible history atlas aimed at young readers, though I don't know why it should be limited to the young. It's a very good and succinct summary of Bible history from creation to the Jewish revolt under Simeon Bar-Kokhba in AD 132. The narrative is easy to read and clear which is a big plus in my opinion. Oh, that other biblical scholars were so clear.

The atlas is especially good on the intertestamental period which is so unfamiliar to most Christians.

My only complaint is that the maps and charts are not actual maps and charts, they are idealized. I assume this is because they thought this would appeal to the young more. I prefer actual maps and charts over these.
