Summary "Bible Atlas: A Manual of Biblical Geography and History" by Jesse Lyman Hurlbut is a detailed reference work that blends biblical geography and history, likely written in the late 19th century. This manual is designed specifically for teachers and students of the Bible and includes maps, charts, and illustrated views of significant biblical locations. The book aims to provide readers with a thorough understanding of the historical context and geography surrounding biblical events, enhancing the study of these ancient texts. At the start of the manual, the introduction sets the stage by discussing the Bible as an ancient, multifaceted work that intertwines history, poetry, and doctrine. It highlights the importance of understanding the geographical and historical framework of the Bible to grasp its narratives accurately. The author, along with a supporting introduction by Bishop John H. Vincent, emphasizes how vital it is for readers and students to connect the biblical narratives with their real-world counterparts in ancient lands, underscoring that without such contextual knowledge, the richness and reality of the scriptures may be lost. This foundation prepares the reader to engage deeply with the content of the atlas as it unfolds. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
