About The Love Church Atlas
The Love Church Atlas is a free, hand-painted interactive atlas of the biblical world, from Rome to Persia. It is a painted, explorable map built on real terrain under illuminated-atlas artwork, with places and journeys that open into Scripture.
What is in it
- More than 900 places named in Scripture, each linked to the verses that name it.
- 39 of them carry full painted cards: people, facts, story, and Scripture references.
- Six great journeys, from the Patriarchs to the Apostles, drawn as inked routes with clickable story moments.
- A six-stop era rail: slide it and the map redraws the world from about 2000 BC to the Return from exile.
- Wonders of the biblical world, the Ark of the Covenant and the Temple among them, with their own panels.
- Every Scripture reference opens in Lexeme, the free Bible study tool, in the Berean Standard Bible.
How it works
Open the atlas and the map is yours to explore: pan and zoom across the painted terrain, click any pin to open its card, and follow its verses straight into the Bible text. Pick a journey and the route is inked onto the map with its story beats. Slide the era rail and cities rise, fall to ruin, and are rebuilt under your eyes.
The atlas runs in your browser and needs JavaScript and WebGL. It works on a phone, but it is at its best on a desktop screen, where the painted map has room to breathe.
Why the name
The Love Church Atlas carries the name of Love Church, the ministry that makes it and gives it away freely.
Who makes it
The Love Church Atlas is a ministry project of Love Church, and a sister to Lexeme, our free Bible study tool. It is free, with no accounts and no tracking. The map art is AI-assisted painting produced for this atlas over real elevation data; place data and Scripture text come from the open sources credited on the attributions page.
Ancient locations are scholarly identifications. Many are approximate and some are debated; a place's card says so where it matters.
