This volume, the first of four in The Carta New Testament Atlas, is about recent advances in history, geography, toponomy, and archaeology, the tools necessary to shed fresh light on the Gospels. The hope is that a better understanding of the physical setting and events that framed the life of Jesus can assist us to hear more clearly the message he proclaimed.

    This tool explains how historical geography, Biblical languages, and literatures in second temple period can work together to illuminate the Gospels. The photos and maps are terrific for teaching! The hyperlinks to the Biblical texts and other extra-Biblical resources such as Josephus, Dead Sea Scrolls, Talmudim, Eusebius, etc make it so precious! I owned the hardcopy but still want this soft-version for looking-up the hyperlinked texts more easily.
