A Google Earth Exercise for Biblical Geography

October 7, 2013

Google Earth has long been a popular tool for religious study, as it helps provide a geographical context to the area being studied.  Frank first showed off some Bible Geocoding tools more than six years ago, and since then we’ve shown you a few others such as a visualization of the parting of the Red Sea.

Mark Hoffman who writes the BibleAndStudies blog has posted a very comprehensive entry with various Biblical resources in Google Earth.  He’s compiled a list of great files, such as the Bible Places file with info from ISBE and Easton Bible Dictionaries, which Mark has edited to make more useful.  Here is a screenshot that shows just a fraction of what’s included in the file.

All in all, it’s an impressive and useful collection of Bible-related files for Google Earth.  Go check it out on Mark’s site and leave a comment below if you know of other related collections.
