Bible Map

This is a very useful tool that I use along side one of the other free Bible tools listed below.

It is a map of Israel featuring all of the cities mentioned in the Bible. It is quite detailed featuring hundreds of cities and towns as well as regions. They are all clickable. When you click on a city or region you are given plenty of information.

You are given the meaning of the name if applicable.

Historical background. (As well as a summary of things of great importance which appear in the Bible that took place here).

Where it appears in the Bible along with the full verses where it does appear.

Obviously you can see how it would be helpful for example if you were reading about Nazareth, and you wanted to find out where in Israel it is located, its historical background and where else it appears in the Bible.

The map can be found at the following address:

Other useful Biblical maps can also be found at the following address:

They are hosted on a website dedicated to Biblical history. It is quite simply a huge site with thousands of pages, and thousands more links to other pages on other sites covering thousands more subjects including the history of ancient cultures like Egypt, Greece, Israel, Rome etc. Church history, geography, literature and art and much more.

The site is located here: http://www.bible-history.com

Certainly go there and you will learn plenty about these ancient cultures.

I have drawn your attention to this map in particular as I feel that this is of incredible importance as a Biblical tool. It is free and very quick to use. When you use it along side other Biblical study tools it can really help you to appreciate the text in a greater way.
