MAPS
Maps for a Study of Jesus’ Life
For the background on how the maps were developed:
See Introduction to the Map series
Then click on The Map of First Century Palestine
This map shows first century Roman roads, caravan routes and geographic locations referenced in the Urantia Papers.
There are several problems in constructing such a map. These include:
- ambiguity as to the exact location of some of the sections of first century Roman roads, multiple name changes for towns and villages over the past 2,000 years,
- multiple towns and villages which have the same name,
- disputed sites,
- climatic and geologic changes which even in a short 2,000 years have changed the run of rivers and streams,
- changes in the location of springs and shifting regions of forestation and aridity.
When a question existed, the German Tubingen data (most recent) was used.
