Various errors and inconsistencies remaining in the earlier edition have alsó been corrected. New illustrations are included to take the place of those which have become outdated. The Oxford Bible Atlas is likely to become a standard text for bible professors who wish to provide their students with reliable historical and geographical information in summary while reserving exegesis for their own lectures.'
