I own and use the Rose Book of Bible Charts, Maps, and Time Lines and the Holman Book of Biblical Charts, Maps, and Reconstructions. I recommend both, but if you must choose, go with the Rose Book. Why?1. The Rose Book of Bible Charts, Maps, and Time Lines is reproducible. The Holman book is not, according to the copyright page on each book.2. Both books are the same size and number of pages and have much of the same content (see details below). But the Rose book is more attractive with better color, photos, charts, illustrations, and overall graphic design.3. I have communicated with the editors at both companies. Holman has never updated their book since the original publication date in 1993, therefore typos and errors still exist. Rose updates their book annually if needed.What the Rose book has that Holman does not (this in not an exhaustive list, but these are the important things to me as a teacher):1. Better and longer Bible time line with hundred more facts. There is a side-by-side comparison with events in world history.2. Better and longer Christian history time line with hundreds more facts.3. Then and Now Bible maps, showing both a color Bible map and red lines to show where modern-day cities and countries are.4. Stunning illustrations of the tabernacle, temple, ark of the covenant, Noah's ark. Holman has nice illustrations, but not quite as powerful.5. More information in the timeline on the history and reliability of the Bible. Gives more information on the Tyndale, Wycliffe, Geneva, King James and other early Bibles.6.
The `Holman Book of Biblical Charts, Maps, and Reconstructions' and the `Rose Book of Bible Charts, Maps & Timelines' are very similar compilations of an enormous collection of just what their titles state, charts, maps, timelines, and archaeological reconstructions of Bible era buildings. Aside from the titles, the two books have several other things in common. First, both are bound with a wire spine, which allows each and every page to lie perfectly flat on a photocopier bed. Having tried to copy maps from a quarto sized book where pages were sewn into signatures, I can assure you this is an enormous advantage if you plan to use the pages to construct handouts or slides for a Bible study course. I have also photocopied slides from both books onto transparencies, and the effort was totally painless, with great results, after a little testing to be sure the page was positioned correctly. And, of course, this is exactly the purpose for which these books were published. Both are issued by publishing houses who specialize in material for Bible study classes, especially for classes oriented to young adults. And, I acquired both books to provide just that material, except for an adult Bible study class.My first interest with the books was to obtain good maps of Palestine in the time of the New Testament, the travels of the Apostles, AND, maps of both the Roman Empire at the time of Augustus and the extent of Alexander the Great's conquests, since this is highly relevant to the spread of Greek language and learning just before the time of Jesus. For the purpose of these maps, I assure you as a map afficionato from way back that the Holman maps are far superior to the Rose maps.
