🌐 Behind the Map: The Persian Empire

The NRSVue Diadem Bible includes the Cambridge Bible Maps, providing a visual, geographical timeline to the world of the Bible. With sharply detailed maps and a colour-coded index, it’s easy to locate ancient provinces, borders, and pathways for your biblical research and sermon preparation.

Open your Cambridge NRSVue Diadem Bible at Map 9: The Persian Empire — one of 15 maps — and trace the 3,000-mile frontier stretching from Egypt to Thracia, bordering the immense realm described in the Book of Esther.

Or follow the 1,600-mile Royal Road — the highway which carried Cyrus’s temple decree (Ezra 1) and kept Nehemiah safe on his journey to rebuild Jerusalem (Nehemiah 2). It bridges the gap between the busy royal courts of Susa and Babylon and the restoration of Jerusalem.
