 Fine but simplistic January 22, 2003
34 out of 35 found this review helpful
I almost think this book is misnamed. Covering Genesis through Revelation, it serves more as an overview of the books of the Bible in its order, including providing background, author, theme, and other information that you would expect in a study Bible or commentary. This is fine. The charts are available throughout, but they are quite simplistic and are not really in any order. Of course, you can look in the index for help, but unless you know what you are looking for, a particular chart or map might be hard to find. For instance, they have a small chart on Christ's superiority at the end of the section on Hebrews. Unless you knew that was there, how would you ever find it? Although this book is fine, if you are searching for clearer and more detailed charts and maps, let me recommend the Holman Book of Charts and Maps. I think this would be a better buy, if I had to choose between the two.
 My First Stop Bible Study Reference Book May 10, 2002
12 out of 12 found this review helpful
Do you have only a limited amount of time for Bible study like I do? Due to this, I need a few good reference works that can really jump-start my Bible study - ones that I can rely on every time I want to really dig into a book of the Bible. Nelson's Complete Book of Bible Maps & Charts is just that sort of book! It is now my FIRST STOP reference book for Bible study. Why? The balance of charts, outlines, and articles give me excellent big pictures of the Bible that I can actually REMEMBER.This work's greatest strengths are the summary charts for every book of the Bible. Unlike most, these analyze each book in A NUMBER of complementary ways, not just one. You see themes that overlap and weave together! The outlines and many, many topical charts give even more depth to each book and help tie books and themes together. The articles also include a lot of very useful background material. Overall, this reference is laid out in a very user-friendly fashion. I use this book for both personal study and teaching preparation. It is literally a must-own for anyone serious about understanding the Bible better; I cannot say enough good things about this work!
 A Good Maps & Charts Book - I'm Still Looking March 24, 2006
11 out of 12 found this review helpful
I was looking for a series of charts that would combine people and historical dates. For example, in Daniel, how do the various prophets line up with the various rulers? When do Daniel's dreams take place chronologically?
This book didn't come close. This book has outlines of each of the books. I can get that in almost any commentary. This book gave cursory discriptions and discussion about each Bible book. But, the authors did not provide enough detail to make the reading worthwhile. That level of detail made reading a waste of time.
This book is supposed to be a "Complete Book of Bible Charts and Maps!" It's NOT. Even the drawings of things like to ark of the covenant are small, roughly drawn and basically unuseable.
I was VERY disappointed with this book.

I've had some opportunities to look at this book and it is very helpful to get a general overview about the Bible. There are good pictures and charts that are very helpful. I know that there are many other types of books that are similar, but I would rate this one above the others
Great Visual Aid and Info October 16, 2004
9 out of 11 found this review helpful
As a divinity student, I think this book is awesome. If you are a visual learner, then this book will especially compliment your studies. I have searched out such books and this is definitely one of the best. I bought my own copy after using the book in the reference section of our library.
The index can be a little tricky, because it's split up in different way. The book overall, addresses things by books of the Bible and therefore the charts and maps are laid out in context.
That this book is available in large print is also a plus for weary or old eyes.
