Carta!

First, you'd do well to see what the collection pricing might be. Carta atlases are a mixed bag. They start basic, move into historical, and then cap off at Sacred Bridge.

Below shows recent for me. My fav's are: Sacred Bridge (high-end and detailed), Torrent/Echos (inscriptions), and then the Quest (underneath Jerusalem).

I notice many look at Carta as 'maps'. That's a mistake. The primary value is the accompanying text and cross-refs.

Quite helpful! Thanks.

If I were only to get one map resource from Carta it would be Sacred Bridge.

Thanks.  This is certainly top of my list after browsing through the 13.

Can anyone compare the Carta with the Macmillan?

I have the MacMillan from 1968 and it looks very much like https://www.logos.com/product/190969/the-carta-bible-atlas-5th-ed 

I also have Sacred Bridge and it has more information and beautiful maps. 

I feel that MacMillan is more of the old school which I like.

I think the Carta Bible Atlas is the MacMillan Atlas continuously updated from 1968; they just changed the name.  I read that somewhere long ago.

Dear Logos developers:

Would you be kind enough to forget the lossy image compression of your choice (e.g. JPG) and use some lossless format on the Carta projects (e.g. PNG) instead? And could you please order the master lossless files from the publisher? Thank you very much, indeed.

I want them badly.  I also wonder about image quality for all that money. I know the text is excellent too.  Any input on what to expect for image quality?

We'll do our best to deliver a high-quality image experience. We don't have all the details sorted out yet, but it's obvious that that's an essential part of delivering these resources in a way that meets or exceeds your expectations.

That's great to hear. Thanks Phil!

So happy to see these resources finally becoming available for Logos Bible Software.

Carta Mega Bundle.  13 resources

https://www.logos.com/product/191819/carta-jerusalem-bible-reference-collection

Carta Mega Bundle. 

I saw this and said to myself "They adding a whole bunch more Carta resources." Then I realized that it was only the 13 volumes. I guess it all depends how you define "mega". [:)]

So happy to see these resources finally becoming available for Logos Bible Software.

Thanks to you Bill for all you did to pave the way!

YES! Sorry for not saying so before. I'm very grateful to everyone who helped bring this about: Those who persistently pushed for it, everyone involved at Faithlife for hearing us and working to make it possible, Carta for allowing it and for their excellent content. Hopefully, this will be profitable for all and is just the beginning. Looking forward to many more Carta titles like the Understanding series and Sacred Flowers, Holy Trees & Blessed Thorns. Maybe we'll even see an mEd course in partnership with Carta, or perhaps a HD documentary format would be better, yes! Maybe they could even team up with Ubisoft Montreal for some nice visuals and build a Discovery Tour Jerusalem & the Temple app.[:D]

I'm very grateful to everyone who helped bring this about:

I want to give a quick shout out to Bethany Olsen. She has taken the reigns of our publisher relations team in Bill's place. She worked very hard to get this agreement in place. 

She's rarely on the forums, but I can pass this along to her.

Agreed! I already sent her a personal thank you email last week. I very much appreciated her work to help make this happen!

Thanks, Bethany!

Bethany, thanks! 

Does anyone know if the Sacred Bridge has all the maps and information that the Carta Atlas (MacMillan) has or is there information in the Atlas that is distinct from the SB?  If so, what information or maps are uniquely found in the Atlas?

CARTA is here already, just pre order 😉

For anyone who hasn’t visited the forums in a while, there are 13 Carta Jerusalem Pre-pubs (and a bundle) available at the store...

I would love to know the answer to this question as well.  Any updates on when this will be released and on the image quality of the maps?

Just repeating earlier information, about 50 pages back (smiling).

1. Macmillan is limited to (1) Canaan/Palestine and (2) the Biblical period. SB is a broader discussion of civilizations in the crescent between Egypt and the Middle East (to include Canaan). And SB covers the Bronze until Bar Kochba. Two different perspectives, but that obviously overlap at historic points.

2. Macmillan maps tend to be utilitarian and cut to the point (essentially boring, from a Bible class POV). SC maps are quite nice, well illustrated, and fun to examine the details.

3. Buy both; return the one you don't need. There's really too much info in both, to decide absent examination. Just like in a book store.

4. Below, are example pages, each followed by example TOC's (both in chronological).

Edit:

Even Wordsearch Bible Software has now started offering some Carta volumes.  They just started selling Carta's Understanding the Bible Series 22 volumes.

And strong intro price, too! 

Hopefully, this 22 volumes come to Logos too 👍😁👌

Awesome! Thanks! 👍😁👌

It only took a decade, but CARTA made it to Logos and into L9 Base Packages! I wasn’t planning on duplicating but my Bilingual Logos 9 Total had all the 13 volumes in prepub but available in BPs.  Now I’ll have more volumes than the ones I have in Accordance! Not to mention the 22 volumes forthcoming from the WORDsearch migration 👍😁👌

Happy CART day today!!!

And I thought you didn't think it would even happen!

Nice, huh!

I have no clue how FL makes money on Carta, but they're sure taking good care of their customers letting us buy base packages with Carta at a fraction of the Carta pre-pub price.

(Hope you also saw the L9 Mobile Ed promo that Kaleb mentioned, DAL!)

I did see the Mobile Ed promotion.  I’m going through the courses to choose my free course and buy the other two!

It’s called reversed psychology, Bruce! Apparently it gave FL the necessary push to make it happen in a memorable way 😉 👍😁👌

I'm sure that was it!

It was a brilliant move to tie Carta into base packages. Not only does it encourage people to upgrade but it also spreads the cost over more people.
