Names and places in the Old and New Testament and Apocrypha, with their modern identifications

A meticulous reference that brings the ancient landscape of the Bible into today’s world, this volume maps more than a thousand Old Testament places—from the hills of Mesopotamia to the deserts of Sinai—and over a hundred New Testament sites. Drawing on the latest surveys of Western and Eastern Palestine, classic Bible dictionaries, and the Revised Version’s textual notes, it links each biblical name to its modern counterpart, offering clear, concise entries for scholars and curious readers alike.

The editors highlight the certainty of each identification with a simple system of symbols, marking survey‑based locations with a star and indicating doubtful matches with question marks. Every entry also points to the specific map sheet where the site appears, making on‑the‑ground exploration straightforward. Whether you’re tracing a pilgrim’s route, studying scriptural geography, or simply satisfying a love of history, this guide turns the holy texts’ scattered place names into an accessible, well‑organized atlas.
