Lands of the Bible Today — National Geographic Wall Map (1956)

A sacred landscape of history and scripture. Published in December 1956, this exquisite Lands of the Bible Today wall map unveils the Holy Land in stunning detail. Richly illustrated, it not only showcases biblical landmarks but also highlights the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, with direct references to Bible passages alongside corresponding place names. Issued with the article “Jerusalem to Rome in the Path of St. Paul,” this map serves as a fine companion to earlier 1938 and 1946 editions, offering a clear, accessible perspective of a region where faith, history, and culture converge.

More Than a Map – A Testament to Faith and History

This isn’t just wall art—it’s a frame for understanding the land that shaped some of the world’s most important scriptures. Historical references and biblical annotations place landmarks in direct context with the scriptural journey of St. Paul, among others. Ideal for educators, theologians, historians, travelers, and collectors, this map pairs beautifully with other National Geographic maps of ancient and religious sites for deeper comparative study.

Hang it in studios, libraries, classrooms, museums, offices, or at home to invite reflection, study, and conversation.
