Discover the world of the Bible and gain rich new insights and understanding! The Holman Bible Atlas is the leading Bible atlas in the English language. The 132 newly designed full-color maps are complete with specific biblical texts. In addition, more than 100 color photographs, timelines, chart summaries, and helpful sidebars, place you in the geographical, historical, and cultural contexts of the Bible. The result is deeper experience and understanding of its eternal truths.
The Atlas is organized in two divisions: physical geography of the Ancient Near East and biblical history periods from the patriarchs to the Christian era until Constantine. The content is arranged in line with specific biblical texts so that teachers, pastors, and students will see and connect the key events of the Bible and Christianity with exceptional clarity.
There’s also a wealth of written and visual information regarding various people groups (Aramaeans, Moabites, Phoenicians, etc.), great empires (Egypt, Babylonia, Rome, etc.), and the road systems, agricultural year, and economic life of ancient civilizations based on archaeological recoveries.
Dive in to this treasure trove of images and revealing background information and see your Bible come to life like never before!
- Sidebars covering Canaanite religion to the cities of Paul
- The great empires influential to the ancient Near East — Egypt, Assyria, Babylonia, Persia, Greece, and Rome
- Insights on Israel's neighboring people groups — the Aramaeans, Moabites, Edomites, Amorites, and Phoenicians
- Road systems, economic life, and the recovery of ancient societies by archaeologists

Invaluable Resource
(10/3/2022)
Reviewed by (Tim Mayes, Wilmington, NC, United States) - The way e-sword has integrated so many useful resources into one straight forward, comprehensive, and user friendly software has allowed me to expand my scriptural knowledge in ways I didn't expect. The usability of their platform takes all the frustration out of the equation by keeping things simple and focused on what we all came for; a deeper understanding of God's word and His people. The Holman Bible Atlas is a great addition to my daily study, adding not only a visual aid which provides context, but also valuable text for further understanding.
Marvelous Maps
(8/31/2022)
Reviewed by (Annie Newman, Filer, Idaho, US) - The artistry of the maps is absolutely magnificent! The historical information is accurate and interesting. Helps with understanding the world today.
Holman Bible Atlas
(1/15/2022)
Reviewed by (John M, Green Bay, WI, US) - The Holman Bible Atlas downloaded easily and interfaced well with eSword. The atlas provides an abundance of information, but did not have the clarity (resolution) I was hoping for.
Example: When zooming in on the maps of Paul's Journeys, the text in the white boxes were fuzzy. That demonstrated that the graphics could use better resolution.
Great Resource

Reviewed by (Derrick Ford, Waldorf, Maryland, US) - I purchased this resource not knowing what to expect, but when it was downloaded, I was pleasantly surprised by its content. Love this resource and highly recommend.
Low Resolution Maps
(8/5/2021)
Reviewed by (Lyle Johnson, Tucson, AZ, US) - The atlas is very useful. Only 3 stars because zooming in to see more detail does reveal more detail or greater clarity. Otherwise excellent.
Recommended!

Reviewed by (Roy McCrindle, Freshwater, NA - Not in US or Canada, Australia) - I am busy working on a presentation for my academy. This included Paul's first missionary journey and I needed an atlas. The quality of the maps is impressive and the commentaries alongside are instructive and most helpful. I recommend this resource.
Great Addition
(10/11/2020)
Reviewed by (Gerald Penix, gpenix59@gmail.com, Ohio, US) - The Holman Bible Atlas is a perfect tool of research in Bible Study. Known for its thorough coverage the E Sword edition puts all of Bible History in one compact device. This Atlas is a must have to those who take studying scripture seriously.
The Maps are unexpandable... too small
(10/9/2020)
Reviewed by (BRIAN CASNER, REYNOLDSBURG, OH, United States) - I love the data, the write up comments are outstanding. But I didn't buy this for the commentary, I bought it for the maps and they simply are too small. You can't expand them and all and for us older folks that's a problem.
So A+ for the commentary, D for the Maps.
Great book, bad format
(10/9/2020)
Reviewed by (Paul Golder, Imlay City, MI, United States) - When I bought this I was thinking it would be like other e-Sword map resources and have accompanying graphics files, along a reference with the text. It turns out that it's just a reference resource that looks likes a low resolution scan of the paper atlas. And like others have said, the maps are small and hard to read and the charts are almost fuzzy.
Holman Bible Atlas is a great tool!

Reviewed by (Kevin Fortier, Bedford, NH, US) - I have a number of unchurched people in my church and they need all the AV help they can get to better understand the Scriptures. The maps, timelines, and charts found in this module are extremely useful as I strive to teach foundational Bible studies for these folks.

Reviewed by (Robert Easter, Chicago, IL, USA) - This is an excellent Bible Atlas to have, to view with your studies of the Bible, its stories and history places in full color.
Dissapointed
(8/18/2020)
Reviewed by (Dayeton Larson, Elliot Lake, ON, Canada) - The text and background information is great, but many of the charts are too small to see. The maps are colorful but also too small and not sharp enough to reall get any useful information from.
I'll simply let it go at that...

Dating for the Paleolithic, Epipaleolithic and Neolthic periods
(10/19/2019)
Reviewed by (Dennis Zoltan Halasz, Bad Herrenalb, Baden-Württemberg, Germany) - The datings of the Paleolithic, Epipaleolithic and Neolithic periods given in Section 4. "Before Abraham" are certainly not taken from the Bible, as the usual age of the earth that has been taken from the genealogies of the Bible is around 6000 years and that would take us back to around somewhere near 4000 B.C.! How did they get onto these older dates (15000 - 4500 B.C.), not through the false Carbon-14 method I pray!??
According to the Bible, the Paleolithic era would have started somewhere around 4500 B.C. Or did they use another "Bible" for their reckoning?
Holman Age of the Earth
(10/19/2019)
Reviewed by (Dennis Z. Halasz, Bad Herrenalb, Baden-Württemberg, Germany) - The years given for the age of the earth in the Holman Bible Atlas are disappointing.

Reviewed by (Moyzschya Belle, Ningi, QLD, Australia) - What a great resource! Thrilled to have this publication as an E-Sword tool! The maps and reference data is beyond any expectations.
Thank you.
It is value for Money.
(7/27/2019)
Reviewed by (Philippus Johannes Cornelius Schutte, Merriwa, WA, au) - There are not many Atlases you can buy for the price of $19.00 and then get a good product like this. To me this is real value for money and if anybody want any better they better put their hand deeper into their pockets. I enjoy this atlas and it gives me what I am looking for and are quite happy to only pay $19.00 for it, it is a great Atlas.
Much better than Expected
(3/10/2019)
Reviewed by (Michael Smith, Renton, WA, US) - I got what I expected in the very detailed and understandable maps. I was completely overjoyed to see the finely researched and copious narrative of historical and archeological information. This is what I wanted but for it to be so complete was a great joy to this amateur archeologist and bible lover. So very happy with this purchase.
Nice Photos
(3/10/2019)
Reviewed by (Thomas Vierling, Stuttgart, Germany, Germany) - I am disappointed from this Atlas.
But maybe my expectations were
too high.
Especially I miss an
interactive approach (no search
function or cross referencing links). It
is more ore less “just” an electronic
book - without bookmarks, annotations
etc.
The quality or resolutions of the maps
might be higher.
The essays are good for introduction.
Poor Graphics
(3/10/2019)
Reviewed by (John Mundy, Steele, MO, USA) - I love e-Sword and it has been an invaluable tool for me in preaching and teaching God's word. I was hoping the Holman Bible Atlas module would prove to be of the same high quality that e-Sword normally exhibits. This module failed me for one major reason - I wanted to have access to some fairly high quality maps, timelines, charts, etc. The articles and supplemental material are fine but all the graphics are very low resolution and quickly pixelate when you try to expand them. I already have access to most of the material found in the articles via other sources (e.g., dictionaries, encyclopedias, etc.). I really wanted this module to provide me with high quality maps, etc. This module just won't work for me.

Love of Maps
(8/14/2018)
Reviewed by (Dale Whitmore, Middletown, OH, United States) - Always loved maps, historical and detailed, topographic, and atmospheric to get a feel for the events of the past. Migratory movement with leadership at that time is interesting.
Good reference, needs work
(8/14/2018)
Reviewed by (Ben Hillshire, San Antonio, TX, US) - After using this map reference for a little while, I have been somewhat pleased with the content. It has helped my study to join the scripture with historical context. What I like most is that if scripture calls out a location such as a town, tribe, battle, etc. then the cooresponding maps actually reflect the information making my progress in study easier. I am not going to comment on the actual references or information because I am not qualified, so my comments concern only the conversion/presentation of the information from the book to e-sword application.
The maps, while beautiful, are too low in resolution! I use iPad/iPhone and when pinching in (zoom) to study, those same beautiful maps turn into low res hard-to-follow ugliness. This won't work too well for folks with close focusing reading issues. Text is fuzzy when zooming... I'd really recommend steering away from this product until someone can come up with a high resolution map, if that is even possible. Otherwise, get the book instead. This module is not ready for e-sword app prime-time until resolution issues are resolved. I appreciate the hyperlinking scripture, which this type of integration is always beneficial.
Good atlas at a good price
(8/14/2018)
Reviewed by (Jeff Taylor, Corning, NY, US) - If you are in need of a good Bible atlas that checks most of your boxes, the Holman Bible Atlas is a good fit. Some atlases are less expensive but contain fewer and less detailed maps; others are somewhat pricey but give you extensive details. This atlas hits the sweet spot - most of the maps you would need are here, and the detail is sufficient to use for teaching and/or research. Holman has done a great job of creating an atlas that appeals to a broad array of users. Kudos for a great product!
Holman study
(8/14/2018)
Reviewed by (Nigel Hewitt, Eastbourne, East sussex, England) - Holman Bible atlas is a wonderful resource when you want to get deeper into a people group, geography or the different graphics and charts that bring alive the historical context of the times. I would have preferred an interactive link to the bible text I am studying but it’s still a very-usable resource tool as with all estudy material
Quality Bible Reference
(8/14/2018)
Reviewed by (Bob Bartz, Tangerang, BT, Indonesia) - The inclusion of background information to the maps is most helpful. Serves as a commentary along with the map information. The high quality maps are helpful for zeroing in on the detailed information without loss of resolution. Very helpful when working through the Old Testament stories of Scripture.
Love of Maps
(8/14/2018)
Reviewed by (Dale Whitmore, Middletown, OH, United States) - I have always enjoyed pondering over maps. These graphic documents bring a sense of distance and perspective to the literature and Biblical narrative.
I find these maps most valuable to the wonderful e-sword references.
Excellent Resource
(8/14/2018)
Reviewed by (Gary Kerr, Bowling Green, Kentucky, United States) - I was very excited when the Holman Bible Atlas was offered at a great discount price, and I snapped it up immediately. I have had a hardback copy of this atlas, but it is great to have an e-version accessible in all of my eSword applications. I'm teaching and preaching through the Gospel of John right now, and I am using this book as a resource almost every day. I would highly recommend it as a good, conservative, up-to-date guide.
helpful
(8/14/2018)
Reviewed by (Ronald Holland, Thatcher, Arizona, United States) - As I study it helps in placing the Nations in my mind. Of course boarders move over time as one Nation takes from another. But it helps in picturing where each nation was at that time. This is one of the better book of maps that I use.
