Gesher Media has just created a beautiful new map illustrating the “Land of the Messiah.” The 18” x 24” full-color map features a primary panel showing the land of Israel and Transjordan during the time of Jesus, with locations marked and events depicted. Two smaller inset maps provide greater detail for the two primary places of Jesus’s ministry: the Sea of Galilee and the city of Jerusalem.
Purchase of the map (now on sale for $30) includes access to five videos in which Chris McKinny explains how the map works and what it depicts. This is a unique resource that combines aesthetic appeal with biblical accuracy.
While I’m writing, I want to also recommend to you other materials produced by Gesher Media. This is a relatively new organization, and they have already created a number of valuable resources:
- Why Jerusalem Matters (episode 1) – free on YouTube
- The Single Gospel of Christ – a Gospel harmony arranged in a novel-like typesetting
- Quest for the Throne of God – a documentary series under development
- Gesher Gallery – “an expanding collection of images from a wide variety of museums and locations,” all indexed and available for individual purchase or by subscription
- Store – they stock a number of books you can otherwise find for sale only in Israel
Keep an eye on Gesher for more resources that help to bridge our world with the Bible.
