Abstract
The scriptures happened in real locations with real people. Our faith is not some ethereal experience disembodied from the grounded reality of location and time. Situating the scriptures into their geographical context gives nuance and perspective to the stories of faith and hope that inspire us.
Have you ever wondered where the apostles of Jesus traveled to spread the word of God? Have you ever wondered where the specific events of the New Testament (or the Old Testament) took place? Have you ever wanted to visually walk through a map of where Jesus and His disciples walked?
Now you can explore the New Testament, as well as Old Testament and Doctrine & Covenants, chapter by chapter with every location mapped to Google maps.
