Harmony Bible Map

The Harmony Bible Map follows the chronology presented by Thomas and Gundry, section by section. We have grouped these in five phases and also shown the regions in the time of Jesus.  Now you can follow Jesus and gain a better understanding of his travels.  Authur Blessitt calculates that Jesus walked over 41,000 miles in his lifetime.
