About Map the Bible

Welcome to Map the Bible, a curriculum that pulls together Bible study skills, Biblical Geography, History, and Archaeology.  We're going to use some great Bible study tools, critical thinking skills, and a little creativity, to study the Bible and and map it out.  Why?  Because those maps in the back of your Bible aren't part of the inspired Word of God, and they may contain errors or incomplete information, based on tradition or an incorrect interpretation of the Bible.  We're going to TEST those maps, weighing them against the Word, to make sure they line up with the biblical account, and then we'll MAP THE BIBLE!

This course assumes a biblical worldview.  It treats the Bible as the inspired, inerrant, infallible Word of God, as recorded in its original languages.  As such, it is the authoritative standard by which all knowledge must be measured.  Other historical documents will be consulted in our journey, as well, but with cautious scrutiny.

A word about English translations of the Bible: We will be using several different versions of the Bible in this study, for various purposes.   Sometimes the translation we're using is an integral part of the study.  If you prefer another version over the one we're using at the time, please feel free to read the passages in your preferred Bible, as well.

By the way, we are Brett and Jennifer Bartlett, and we've been homeschooling since 1997.  As of this printing, we have six children from kindergarten to college, and we have always approached the Bible as the true Word of God. It is "living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword," (Heb. 4:12) filled with inexhaustible subject material, so it serves as the core for our studies in History, Science, Language Arts, Theology, Prophecy and Principles for Living. Please join us in this adventure, as we explore Earth from Heaven's perspective. Blessings on your journey of truth and understanding!
