Land of Israel Maps

Geographical resources for reading the Bible with its landscape in view.

Maps of Jerusalem from David’s time to the time of Jesus, along with maps of Nazareth, place biblical events in the country where they took place. Students, teachers, and general readers can use them alongside the narrative to follow journeys, locate towns, and connect place with story.

Maps: Jerusalem

Jerusalem is mapped across the span of biblical history, beginning with the time of David and continuing through the time of Jesus, so city plans can be read alongside the accounts that describe them.
