Endorsements
“I have been looking for this sort of extraordinary resource for years. I don’t know of any other photo resource for Acts currently on this level. This collection will transform the way I teach Acts in the classroom, and it’s useful for my own thinking as I work again through the text.”
—Craig S. Keener, F. M. and Ada Thompson Professor of Biblical Studies, Asbury Theological Seminary
“The Photo Companion series is a tremendous resource for anyone interested in studying and applying the Bible at a deeper level. It offers visual context and insight like no other. From ancient manuscripts to artwork, inscriptions, reliefs, mosaics, frescos, photos of ancient sites, and more, this rich and varied collection offers a wealth of background help for grasping the message of the Bible.“
—J. Scott Duvall, Professor of New Testament and J. C. and Mae Fuller Chair of Biblical Studies, Ouachita Baptist University
A Better Visual Resource
The Photo Companion to the Bible provides viewers with much greater insight into a passage than an image pulled off of the internet. Fascinating descriptions and insights written by scholars with more than 30 years of experience teaching in the Holy Lands accompany each image, helping you immerse your audience in the land of the Bible.

“The Photo Companion to the Bible is an essential resource for anyone teaching or preaching the Gospels. This database of images will enhance your presentations and help make the world of the Gospels come alive for your students.

The Christian faith is firmly grounded in specific historical events, and the Photo Companion ‘transports’ students of Scripture back into the ancient locales in which those events occurred.”

“Most teachers realize that effective images on screen are essential to winning a modern audience and explaining ancient cultural ideas and places. Random searches on the web often lead us astray or suggest images that are simply not accurate. Here the BiblePlaces team has organized image suggestions (with interpretations) by chapter and verse in the Bible. And the result is simply fantastic. We can now locate the right image for our text and read brief expert explanations of what the image means. Like magic, the Photo Companion to the Bible has upgraded each of our efforts to provide accurate contextual explanations of the Bible. There is no tool available today that serves this purpose so effectively.”
