The events presented in the Holy Bible, both in the New and Old Testament, are located in the geographical space covering huge territory from the old Mesopotamia on the East to the present Rome on the West, and from present Turkey on the North to Egypt on the South. Palestine, which constitutes the centre point of this territory, is located on the boundary of three continents: Asia, Africa and Europe, thus creating a bridge between these territories. The Bible events taking place in particular periods, occurred in various places of this territory. The territory of Palestine is characterised by several geographic and climatic zones. Over the long period of Bible events, both climate and geopolitical conditions changed several times, hence influencing these events. In the paper geological and geomorphological conditions as well as climatic and geopolitical conditions related to the Palestine territory are presented and their relations with the Bible events are indicated. Knowledge of Biblical geospace is necessary for proper recognition and understanding of the salvation history described in the Bible. Appropriate description of his geospace is one of basic tasks implemented within the framework of the research project concerning the time-space information system about Biblical events realized in the Institute of Geodesy and Cartography in cooperation with the Jagiellonian University and the Cardinal Stefan Wyszynski University.
