"Reading the Bible without an awareness of geography is like watching a play with no scenery." - J. Carl Laney

This site contains Biblical Geography presentations that are companions to the Smyth & Helwys "Formations" literature used in our adult Sunday School classes. New materials are posted from time to time according to the subject matter in the lessons.

The presentations are brief, and contain text, maps, and photos. The photos are from the Pictorial Library of Bible Lands, published by Kregel (www.bibleplaces.com). If you have a full license of PowerPoint, you can read the notes that accompany each photo for interesting additional information provided by the publisher. I have annotated some of the maps with red ink to identify or emphasize points of interest.

I hope these glimpses of the land of the Bible will help bring the Bible story to life for you! I encourage you to email me at Hal.Espy@knology.net if you ever have questions about any of the materials.
