Bible Maps — This website has some free Bible maps.
New Testament Maps — This website has sorted the maps based on the chapter in the New Testament it is in reference to.
Best Commentaries by Tim Challies — If you’re not already familiar with Tim and his website (challies.com) it’s a great resource! He has recommended commentaries for every book of the Bible, and lets you know how technical they are and why people love them.
