    Perfect for quick looking references when studying Scripture and what events today are happening in the Biblical areas. I use it almost everyday to get a visual of the area. This version has 31 maps for various Biblical events with routes etc. Ancient names of areas and towns eith the overlays of modern names etc. There are a few other charts like 12 Tribes, Prophets, Tabernacle, Kingdoms of Daniel.
    It is not a reading type of reference but a great visual reference and worth the money.
    I will be looking for a historical book to go along with this and probably another by Rose Publishing. They do a fantastic job with their works.
    I will say I also purchased from Rose Publishing the Bible Time Line Genesis to Revelations because I found this pamplet to be better visually for a time line than the one in the Then and Now Bible Maps.

    This is more than maps. Then and Now means the places then in the bible and now what they are. The overlays are clear and go directly over the map of then. It's a great learning tool and for studying scripture with a much better understanding of places and people.
    There are timelines of different events, list of the twelve tribes and where their territory was, list of the major prophets, where they were from, where they prophesied and when. Paul's journeys. The book has a hard cover and is spiral bound so it lays down flat making it easy to read each page.
    The CD-ROM may be complicated for some people but it should not be. The jpegs (jpg files) are the pictures and they are each numbered as to which page they are on in the book. The book on the CD-ROM is in pdf format making it easy to maneuver through the pages, skip a page, go forward or back and read it on your computer. I opened the CD/ROM drive twice by going to this pc after opening the picture files and viewing with media photo viewer. I have Windows 10 and have two internal drives and five external drives so I had to learn how to open several at the same time. Anyway, having the CD-ROM with the use of a laptop, it can be used for a class study. But my husband and I can view this information on my large computer monitor. And too, having a laptop, this can be viewed on a TV. set if you know how to connect a laptop to a television set or have the instructions to do so. This is also much better than plain maps in the back of a bible because it is portable and has much more information than maps in a bible.

    This book is fantastic. Full of information. This book is well made snd sturdy with drawings of old and new maps. New geographical and historical maps with red ink, ie “Now” are on their own see through page that can then be place/lie over older maps ie “Then”. The hard back/cover edition has a strong centre making it easy to lie the book flat on a table etc. This book of 70 pages is packed with a wealth of information made easily accessible with the innovative design and layout of this book. Easy to understand.it is a pleasure to read not a chore.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A Must-Have Resource for Bible Study!
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 31, 2025
    I recently purchased the Deluxe Then and Now Bible Maps, and I couldn’t be more pleased with my decision. This beautifully illustrated book provides a clear and insightful connection between ancient biblical locations and their modern counterparts.

    The maps are incredibly well-crafted, featuring overlays that allow you to see how the landscape has changed over time. This feature is particularly helpful for visual learners like myself, as it gives context to the stories and events described in the Bible. The combination of historical and contemporary maps helps bridge the gap between ancient scripture and today’s world, making it easier to understand the significance of various locations.

    Additionally, the book includes a wealth of supplementary information, such as timelines and diagrams, which enhance the learning experience. It's not just a map book; it’s a comprehensive study tool that has enriched my understanding of the Bible significantly.

    The hardbound format is sturdy, and the spiral binding allows it to lay flat for easy reference during study sessions. Whether you're a seasoned scholar or just starting your biblical journey, this resource is invaluable. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to deepen their understanding of the Bible and its geographical context!

    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 27, 2023
    I honestly didn't know quite what to expect when I ordered this book but what a delightful surprise when it arrived. The book makes sense of both the Old and New Testaments in relation to where those often confusing locations are mentioned. And also it's difficult to locate the ancient names in relation to modern place names. This is a brilliant book and I recommend it as a teaching aid. Well done, Amazon, and thank you for packing it well and sending it so quickly.
