Modern day Iraq

Is there a way to use Logos to find what cities in the bible are found in modern day Iraq and the passages they are mentioned in? Not sure how to use all the features, but I'm interested in the role the land of Iraq played throughout biblical history. So I know Mesopotamia, Babylon, Elkosh and a few others, but am curious if there is a way for Logos to help me with this. Thanks!

Hello Frankie,

Welcome to the forums. [:)]

You may want to start by using the Tools menu at the top. Select Atlas and go from there. Hopefully that helps.

Here is a free resource:

Frankie, there is nothing I know of in Logos that directly relates the modern day nation of Iraq with Bible references.

There is a Logos resource called The Rose Then and Now Bible Atlas that might be a starting point in locating ancient sites within the borders of Iraq. You'd then need to do searches on those places to see what references you can find.

References to Ur, Babylon, and Nineveh are to places within modern Iraq, for example.

I tried the opposite tact.

I searched:

"today's iraq" OR "modern iraq" OR "modern day iraq"

That pulled about 100 refs, which I'd then use Logos to find where, using map search syntax.

I recall some journal article that had info. I think it was Archaeology.

My first place to look would be Google (or Bing, or Yahoo, or Duckduckgo, or whatever your search preference). They are awesome for this type of thing. With just a quick search I found bunches of interesting links, with good Biblical information right from the beginning ("Biblical cities modern Iraq verses").
