David Padfield's Bible World
David has assembled an extensive collection of photographs from his travels through Israel, Jordan, Turkey, Greece, Italy, and Egypt. Drawing on this rich visual archive, he has embarked on a project to illustrate the Book of Acts with photorealistic, AI-generated biblical scenes. These images provide valuable geographical, historical, and cultural context for understanding the customs and daily life of biblical times.
These images are avaiable as JPG and PDF files in both 4:3 and 16:9 aspect ratios. The accompanying story planner, which explains each image, is currently available only in English, but translations into several other languages are underway.
You can download these images free of charge from: FreeBibleImages.org
