Bible Atlas

By Zaine Ridling, Ph.D.
Editor

Note that this is an atlas. There is really very little text, a little bit in the images explaining some few things. This module has the maps at original size (from Archive.org) so while they are not at so high a definition there, the module still is some 93MBs large. I personally would prefer higher definition images, but at the same time, this is a monster file size. So it will have to do. The maps are overall excellent in their composition and presentation. Note that it is better to view this images with the built-in theWord graphics viewer. If you hover the cursor over the image, a popup will appear in the top left hand corner, click on that and you will be able to see the image and enlarge it somewhat. Again, the image enlarger begins to be a little fuzzy, but we have to accept this if we are going to have any kind of image and file size compromise that is workable.
