Bible Map

The Bible refers to geographical locations in every book. To better understand the Bible, it often helps to see where these locations are and how they relate to one another. To aid in your study of the Scriptures, we've included a map application that shows an approximation helpoutinof all the locations mentioned in the Bible. In many cases, once you've located the biblical site on the map, you can switch the view to satellite and see some of the ancient ruins. Have questions about how to use the map? Just click the Question Mark.

folder To see the biblical sites, click on the folder icon for the letter you wish to view. You will then see the list of sites starting with that letter expand down.
To see where a site is on the map, simply click the square box to the left of the site name so that it's checked. A red marker will appear on the map where that location is. You may check off numerous sites at the same time and they all will appear on the map.
