When I agreed to review the Third Edition of Nelson's Complete Book of Bible Maps & Charts, I wasn't sure if it would add anything to my extensive reference library. After all, I have study Bibles in several versions (NASB, NIV, ESV, NLT), plus many other quality study aids in my library. And I have the Logos Bible software on my computer.
But the question was quickly answered when the book arrived. Nelson's Complete Book of Bible Maps & Charts is a beautiful softcover book, filled with full color maps and charts (as the name declares). While it wouldn't suffice on its own for a serious Bible "scholar," it is an excellent addition to other more in-depth works. The color throughout makes it a pleasure to use and helps draw the eyes to things a reader might otherwise miss. Although I don't have children at home, I believe this book would be particularly helpful for young students.
Here is the blurb:
Beautiful full-color maps and charts illuminate the Scriptures.
This updated edition of Thomas Nelson’s popular Complete Book of Bible Maps and Charts has everything your customers need to visualize the events, places, and people in the Old and New Testaments. The resources include:
- New, full-color, high-resolution maps and charts.

Perfect for small-group leaders, Bible school teachers, and anyone curious about biblical times or wanting to locate key events from Scripture, Complete Book of Bible Maps and Charts provides a visual overview of the Bible in its entirety.
I give this book 4 stars out of 5.
