(1 kg) / About the Author: Bill Schlegel is Associate Professor of Bible at The Master's College, Israel Bible Extension (IBEX), where he teaches biblical history, geography and Hebrew. He lives with his wife and family near Jerusalem. / "The Satellite Bible Atlas is characterized first and foremost by beautiful satellite imagery and detailed historical markings. No other atlas features so many large maps with nearly every biblical event in Israel depicted with precise detail. Each map is accompanied by commentary that draws out the geographical significance of the history to bring the story alive to the reader. As one who has taught college and seminary students in Israel for 25 years, Bill Schlegel understands and communicates God's revelation to his people in his land in a way like few others. The Satellite Bible Atlas deserves to be the Israel field guide for the next generation of students, young and old. The atlas is also ideal for students in introductory Bible classes." Todd Bolen, author of the Pictorial Library of Bible Lands, Associate Professor of Biblical Studies, The Master's College / "This is a must-have. Our students use this atlas in our Israel travel/study program. The precision of satellite photography overlaid with clearly demarcated boundary lines and biblical historical graphics -- the whole topped off by text commentary -- has resulted in this beautiful and useful historical atlas of Bible lands." Eugene H. Merrill, Distinguished Professor of Old Testament Studies, Dallas Theological Seminary
