A Bible Atlas is a valuable resource for anyone studying Scripture, especially children, as it brings the biblical world to life through maps, illustrations, and historical insights. It enhances understanding, engagement, and appreciation of the Bible by placing its stories within their geographical and historical context.

For children, a Bible Atlas helps make Scripture more tangible and relatable. By visualizing the lands of the Bible--such as Jerusalem, Egypt, and Galilee--they can see where significant events occurred, like Jesus' ministry or Moses leading the Israelites out of Egypt. These visual aids stimulate curiosity and deepen comprehension, turning abstract places into real, vivid locations.
A Bible Atlas also highlights the interconnectedness of biblical events with history and culture. Children and adults alike can grasp how geography influenced the journeys of figures like Abraham, Paul, and Jesus, and how regions shaped the spread of the Gospel. This understanding fosters a holistic view of the Bible as a cohesive narrative rooted in real-world settings.

Additionally, using a Bible Atlas encourages critical thinking and exploration. Students can trace routes, compare ancient and modern maps, and ask questions about the cultural and natural environment of biblical times.
In summary, a Bible Atlas is an essential tool for enriching Bible study. It aids in understanding Scripture, sparks curiosity, and nurtures a deeper connection with God's Word by helping readers visualize and explore the historical and geographical backdrop of the biblical narrative.

The story of God's people in the Bible is set in a particular place and at a particular time. The Bible is full of journeys.

Abraham took an epic journey from his father's home in Ur to the land of Canaan. The Hebrews journeyed from slavery in Egypt to the Promised Land. The kingdom of Israel expanded under King David. Later the Jews were taken into exile in distant Babylon and Persia. Jesus journeyed around Galilee and Judea, while Paul took an epic series of missionary journeys throughout the Mediterranean world.

Bible Facts and Figures 978-0-89942-653-2

Bible Facts and Figures is one of six titles in the St. Joseph Bible Resources series. This fully illustrated 32-page booklet provides, in a concise and accessible format, an introductory guide which is an invaluable resource for schools and Bible study.

Among the features of this book:

• illuminating time charts and diagrams
• helpful verse finders (e.g., for special occasions, in the Book of Psalms, Jesus' miracles and parables, and more)
• Bible names and their meanings
• fascinating Bible statistics

• vibrant color illustrations

• detailed maps and charts

• maps that elucidate prominent places in the lives of Old Testament characters, Jesus, His followers, and Paul
• thought-provoking Scripture passages that conceptualize the themes of the Biblical writings

Understanding the facts and figures of the Bible is vital for a comprehensive grasp of its content, context, and impact. The Bible, as a foundational text for billions of people, is not merely a collection of spiritual reflections but a historical and cultural document that has shaped societies for millennia. Knowing the key facts and figures allows readers to appreciate its depth, connect its narratives, and understand its relevance.
Biblical facts, such as the number of books (66 in the Protestant Bible, 73 in the Catholic Bible), their authorship, and the historical periods they cover, provide a structural framework. For instance, recognizing that the Bible was written over approximately 1,500 years by over 40 authors enhances appreciation for its diversity and unity. Facts about historical settings, such as the Babylonian exile or Roman occupation, contextualize the text, revealing how external events influenced its themes and messages.

Figures, both literal and symbolic, are equally significant. Key characters like Abraham, Moses, David, and Jesus are central to the Bible's overarching narrative. Understanding their lives and roles is crucial for grasping the progression of Biblical history and theology. Numerical figures, like the 40 days of fasting or the 12 tribes of Israel, often carry symbolic meaning, emphasizing themes like testing, covenant, or completeness.
Moreover, knowledge of Biblical facts and figures aids in the defense and communication of faith. It equips individuals to address skepticism and misconceptions, fostering informed dialogue. For those studying the Bible for cultural, academic, or spiritual purposes, these details provide a foundation for deeper analysis, helping to uncover the layers of meaning within its pages. In essence, Biblical facts and figures are indispensable for appreciating the richness and significance of this timeless text.
