The story the ground still tells.

Explore the places behind your Bible reading. Follow ten journey maps, find places by passage, and take a guided exploration. Read scripture alongside historical context and archaeological research, on iPhone and iPad.

More ways to study in v1.1

Follow a guided journey

Explore Holy Week or the Sea of Galilee for free. The Seven Churches exploration is included with the All Maps purchase. Move through the stops, consider a reflection question, and return to your saved progress.

Read a passage. Find its places.

Try John 4 or Matthew 5:1–12. Passage lookup connects the app’s selected scripture references to places on the map. Coverage is curated, rather than a complete Bible index.

Look beneath the surface

Read place histories, inscriptions, excavation reports, and archaeological context. Enlarge research photographs and follow source links to learn more.

See places through time

Compare the landscape with overlays for the Persian Empire, Herod’s kingdom, and the Roman Empire in AD 117. Boundaries and site locations are approximate; dotted routes show story order, not exact ancient roads.

Keep your discoveries

Save places, resume explorations, and share a passage, location note, or study map. Saved places and progress stay on the device where you create them.

No account required

No app sign-in, subscription, or advertising. Scripture and research text are bundled with the app; map imagery, photographs, and external research links need an internet connection.
