Every now and then I find myself pulling out two very handy bible reference books.
The first is Nelson's Complete Book of Bible Maps & Charts, Revised and Updated and the second is Holman Book of Biblical Charts, Maps, and Reconstructions.
Nelson is advertised as:
All the visual Bible study aids you need are in this key resource. Whether you are leading a Bible study group, teaching a Sunday school class or just curious about biblical times, this book has the visual aids to help you and others gain a deeper understanding of the Bible. With the help of reproducible maps and charts you can provide others with the opportunity to accurately visualize the events, places and people in the Old and New Testaments. Add to that the numerous easy to understand tables and surveys inside and you have a visual overview of the whole Bible at your fingertips.
Holman is advertised as:
Pastors, Bible teachers, students, families---anybody who wants to deepen their understanding of the biblical people, places, and events that shaped world history---will treasure this comprehensive reference! Inside you'll find detailed color maps, charts, and timelines; artistic renderings of biblical cities and artifacts; cross-references to the Holman Bible Handbook and Dictionary; and more! 176 pages, spiralbound hardcover.
I find both of these books very useful; especially when I'm looking for some sort of chart.
Currently, I'm trying to put together a chart for the Harmony of the Gospels. Both books have such a chart and both are a little different from each other. By combining the two and coming up with my own type format, I'll be able to have a nice finished product. More on the Harmony of the Gospel project later.
