How much do you know about the cities and towns mentioned in the Bible? Where is the land of Shinar, where the Tower of Babel was built? Where did Terah go when he traveled from Ur to Haran? What sights would the children of Israel have seen during the years they spent in Egypt? What happened to the powerful city of Ninevah after Jonah's day? What became of Nebuchadnezzar's magnificent palace and beautiful hanging gardens?

From the Garden of Eden to the Israelites' return from captivity, Bible Lands of the Old Testament gives the Biblical accounts, followed by more current information to link the long-ago names and places to modern towns and countries.

Each chapter contains simple, hand-lettered and -colored maps that are easy for a child to follow in creating his own with the blank maps provided at the end of each chapter. Suitable for children in the lower grades.
