My teachers taught me world geography - but from maps that were distorted and they didn't tell me that. Maybe it's because they didn't know about the distortion either! I was familiar with one map in elementary school and another in high school... but I never gave much thought about how they were different or how they were distorted.
This new map provides a helpful corrective to the size dostortions of previous maps. While the Peters map is superior in its portrayal of proportions and sizes, its importance goes far beyond questions of cartographic accuracy. Nothing less than our world view is at stake!
The Cat and Dog Theology seminar effectively uses this map to show how our distorted perspective of the world is similar to our distorted view of the Bible!
A MUST-HAVE for every church, missions-committee and home school! Don't try to study missions without it!
