Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Biblica is terrific!
This book was everything we had hoped and is a great value. Who could ask for more!
Rating:  - An impressive book! Gorgeous. Quality. Over 10lbs!
This book is the same as the book, "Biblica: The Bible Atlas: The Story of the Greatest Story Ever Told" (ISBN 1740480090). The difference is that "The Story of the Greatest Story" is in a slipcase and comes with a CD-ROM - and is less money!
The print quality is the same. The binding is the same. The CD-ROM / slipcase edition was originally printed for the big warehouse stores.
This atlas's review of geography, war and politics is thorough. I would have liked to see ... Read More
Rating: - Best Bible Atlas
I don't see how anyone can rate this book less than 5 stars. Yes, it weighs 10 pounds, but it is filled with great information and beautiful maps and paintings. The text is wonderful, and is pitched to a generally educated audience with some familiarity with the Bible. The book is carefully designed and edited. The contributers are top Bible scholars. I have seldom been so pleased with a book purchase. I got my copy for half price -- it is hard to imagine a better bargain.
Rating: - Beautiful Book--Amazing Price
I honestly cannot believe they can print this book for the price. In addition to providing an fascinating and detailed account of bible history, it is full of gorgeous illustrations. As a teacher, this book is a gold mine--there is hardly a topic I cover that doesn't have multiple beautiful works of art, full color maps and more.
