Atlas of Christian History - 3D Print Bibles usually have maps near the back (and most of our study Bible notes in the Accordance Library have them, too!). Most of the standard Bible maps include some kind of map of the Roman Empire, often related to the travels of the Apostle Paul. But for those interested in the ongoing story of the church, Bible maps tend to only be so helpful.

Releasing today for the Accordance Library, the Atlas of Christian History, by Tim Dowley, “has been designed to examine the origins, beginnings, growth, and worldwide spread and development of Christianity.” This very unique atlas includes over 60 maps (listed below) covering all facets of Christianity from the Early Church to today. These maps are divided up among five sections: (1) The Early Christians, (2) The Church under Siege, (3) The Middle Ages, (4) The Reformation and After, and (5) The Modern Church.

Mission of the 12

This work is not merely a collection of images, but rather Tim Dowley has also included his own detailed descriptions of the spread of Christianity. In print, Atlas of Christian History is around 176 pages. The nature of the written content essentially makes this volume a brief but very competent history of the church in addition to the unique set of geographical images.

Persecution

Accordance users who also have Tim Dowley’s Atlas of European Reformations in their Library already know the usefulness of the maps in these works. Pastors, professors and teachers will especially find these maps helpful for illustrating information in teaching and preaching settings.

Atlas of Christian History is available for discounted introductory pricing for a limited time.
