The Sacred Bridge: Carta’s Atlas of the Biblical World by Anson F. Rainey, R. Steven Notley

The perfect gift to bestow on someone with a thirst for biblical knowledge, this gorgeous Atlas marvelously fills the void for a clear and accurate documentation of more than 3,000 years of Eastern Mediterranean biblical history and the geography of the places identified in the Holy bible. Delivering 300 exceptional and highly detailed maps covering the entirety of the area known as the Levant, this publication focuses on ancient written accounts that exist from those times, each of which has been translated firsthand directly from the original piece’s native language. Widely considered to be a “land bridge” despite its lack of uniformity, the area of the Levant saw the influx of many ethnic groups and races, all of which is chronicled in this spectacular volume, which narrates from the third millennium B.C.E all the way down to the Greeks, the Itureans and the Nabateans of the Hellenistic and Roman periods. With new information revealed by the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls, refreshing innovative understanding and informative insights on the past of this fascinating region is illuminated in this enthralling creation. Flawlessly written, this book cites the scholarly publications on ancient texts from reliable sources, leaving you no doubt that every word written within has been carefully researched and validated to bring you only the most accurate historical material available.
