Over at BibleMap.org a quick and easy tool presents itself for use to both the student and teacher alike. Using some open mapping APIs from Google they have created a map that cross-links locations via geo-tagging to places found in the Biblical record. A reader can open to a particular passage in either the ESV or KJV and link to places that appear on the map corresponding to the places referenced in the passages. This tool is particularly impressive if used (as mentioned in a prior post) within a presentation inviting student participation within the immerse geography not just the passage--making the text applicable in the same fashion that used to take quite a few page flips in some Bibles and Atlases for most. It is a tool worth laud (as a few other items on their pages as well! Every Bible and History teacher should know about it. And any Bible student looking to cut short some work will love it!
