Assistant Editor Heather von Doehren shares a website she found while web-surfing (a.k.a procrastinating).
I recently stumbled upon a site called Biblemap which is a wonderful website that displays a google-esque map showing the geographical location referenced in a particular Bible verse. All you do is pick a Bible chapter/verse and a map pops up. It’s as easy as that. Think of the site as a kind of Bible Atlas linking text with geography. It’s so cool!
The site is still in Beta testing, so locations are limited, but they are working hard, adding new locations all the time. They’re trying to work up some funds so they can continue to work on the site, but you should drop by and check it out. It’s very cool so far! Oh, and the folks at ESV interviewed one of the developers of Biblemap, Tim Kimberley. While you're at it, check that site out too.
