The Bible describes God who acts in history, in space, and time. The New Moody Atlas of the Bible is the best resource I know to acquaint readers of the Bible with the ‘space’ of God’s acts. Beitzel’s writing is interesting and clear, and the maps and illustrations are outstanding. Every reader of the Bible should have this book.
