The IVP Atlas of Bible History
It pains me to recommend this book, well, not really. My Bible dictionary and this Atlas were both up for the Gold Medallion award in the same category, and Paul's work won. Oh well.
It really is an excellent atlas. The pictures, charts, drawings, and maps are stunning. It follows the flow of biblical history, so if you have a question, lets say, about Paul's third missionary journey, you turn to that section. There you will see, among other things, a large drawing of the city of Ephesus, a picture of a statue of Artemis, some historical discussion about this event, and some generic (and relevant) history of Ephesus outside this passage in Acts. It is an excellent companion for anyone studying the Bible, and you shouldn't be without it.
