Solly Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 The sale title, graphic, and presentation are very well done in my opinion. Thank you, Accordance, for these offers and the quality of the announcement. -Joseph 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Francis Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 It is a great set of sale items... Carta’s The Sacred Bridge for me is the biggest jewel in this sale... But you have done a super job to offer in this 'map' madness sale a wonderful range of products. -dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Miles Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 I have a question on the Carta offerings. How much, if any, overlap would one see on these items as far as content? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Francis Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 While the Carta handbook is a condensation of the sacred bridge. So I suspect heavy overlap there. But I am curious if the handbook offers anything new. -dan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A.D. Riddle Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 I do not think the New Century Handbook offers anything that is not in Sacred Bridge. The New Century Handbook removes the original languages and only has the translations of texts. In addition, Sacred Bridge has since been revised so a lot of the typos were corrected (and there were many) and some of the content is expanded and updated. Those corrections and new content will not be in the New Century Handbook. Here are two blog posts about them: http://blog.bibleplaces.com/2007/08/sacred-abridgement.html http://blog.bibleplaces.com/2014/06/the-sacred-bridge-second-emended-and.html A.D. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A.D. Riddle Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 (edited) I have a question on the Carta offerings. How much, if any, overlap would one see on these items as far as content? I would say in general: (1) You get The Sacred Bridge if you want to read more. This atlas is much longer and is more text-heavy, with citations from original sources. Maps are full-color. (2) You get The Carta Bible Atlas if you want to check a map quickly. This atlas provides a map for just about every biblical event as well as extra-biblical and inter-testamental events. The maps are duo-tone, not full-color. (3) The New Century Handbook is an abridgment of the 1st edition of Sacred Bridge. All three of the above make use of the same "pool" of scholars, namely Rainey and Notley. The Bible History Atlas has a different author, F. F. Bruce, which I take to mean the text should be pretty solid. I have not used it before. Judging from the samples, the maps appear to be the least up-to-date of all the Carta offerings. A.D.

I would definitely want to have any original language material that might be offered. It looks like Sacred Bridge is the one of these two that I'd be looking to obtain. I do certainly appreciate your helpfullness and kindness in giving me an answer to my question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
