BIBLE ATLAS
Launch of in Bahasa Malaysia
Snippets from Atlas Alkitab: Why was Baal the rain deity worshipped? Why did King David select Jerusalem as the capital? Did you know that Jesus chose Capernaum as his ministry base because it was near a major transportation route?
Dear Friends,
Our Daily Bread Ministries (ODBM) Malaysia has exciting news to share; we are launching our first ever Bible Atlas in Bahasa Malaysia! Entitled Atlas Alkitab, this Bible atlas is a 350-page hardcover book packed with photographs, full-colour maps and expert commentary, enriching our understanding of the Bible with fascinating insights of the Holy Land’s geography, history, nature and civilisation.
This translation is a significant milestone for ODBM Malaysia, as it has been five years in the making involving a team of eight translators, theologians, editors, proofreaders and designers across Malaysia. The original in English was written by John A. Beck, a scholar in biblical geography and an Our Daily Bread contributor from the US.
