“Seeing is believing.” And believe us, you’ll feel transported in time as you peruse these volumes. The entire Bible Lands PhotoGuide Set contains hundreds of detailed articles and more than 4,500 high-quality photographs. All designed to make the Bible come alive for you and your audiences.
Now, we are pleased to announce enhancements to this important Graphics tool with new, more detailed regional PhotoGuide modules linked and integrated with the central PhotoGuide Overview Collection.
As before, the PhotoGuide can be accessed from the Accordance Library and searched separately, or linked with a double click on a place name from the Accordance Bible Atlas.
A description of each of the PhotoGuide titles follows below.
PhotoGuide Overview Collection: The Overview contains complete introductions and a selection of pictures from each available biblical site in each of the regions. Links to the expanded regional modules make it easy to access the additional images for any site. This Overview module is in all Graphics packages. Figure 1 shows a screen shot of how the Overview (on the right) can be used in parallel with the Bible Atlas.
PhotoGuide Israel Collection: Israel adds detailed pictures from each available biblical site in the Holy Land. Figure 2 shows the Temple Mount in Jerusalem from Mount Scopus, north of the Mount of Olives.
PhotoGuide Near East Collection: The Near East includes more images from Jordan, Syria, Lebanon, Iraq, and Iran. Figure 3 shows the Monastery at Petra.
PhotoGuide Egypt Collection: Egypt expands the illustrations for biblical sites in Egypt. Figure 4 shows the Great Sphinx and Pyramids at Giza.
PhotoGuide Europe Collection: This volume illustrates many biblical sites in Europe, including Italy, Greece, Cyprus, Crete, and Malta. Figure 5 shows the Coliseum at Rome.
PhotoGuide Turkey Collection: Turkey has been greatly expanded with pictures from each available biblical site. Figure 6 shows the Library of Celsus at Ephesus.
Teachers and pastors especially love the Accordance Bible Lands PhotoGuide because the license allows you to use the images in teaching and preaching contexts.
Best of all? The Accordance Bible Lands PhotoGuide is not a static resource. Instead, it is updated and enhanced as new photographs are added in coming months and years.

Editor’s Note
Without a doubt, the Accordance Bible Lands PhotoGuide has been a cornerstone of Accordance’s exclusive graphics tools for well over a decade. Much more than a simple collection of pictures, it’s an illustrated dictionary of biblical places.
First, each available biblical site contains an introduction that describes what significant biblical and historical events took place there. In this aspect it’s like a dictionary of Bible places.
Second, pictures and captions show and explain biblical landscapes, ancient structures, and the archeology of the sites where the people of the Bible lived and events of the Bible took place. In this aspect it is a photo-illustrated guide of Bible places.
These two powerful aspects of the Accordance Bible Lands PhotoGuide make it nearly as close as you can get to the places of the Bible without traveling to biblical lands yourself with an experienced guide to explain it!
