I have the opportunity to review this one of its kind Exhaustive dictionary of Bible Names. If you are looking for the best dictionary to know the real meanings of bible names this is it!

For those interested in the meanings of Bible names, this is a great book. Every single name in the Bible and its meaning is listed in alphabetical order.

This book also helps individuals pick names found in the Bible for future babies.

The only drawback to the book is the lack of pronunciation guide. Sometimes Bible names like Melchisedec or Sarsechim can be difficult without a pronunciation guide. Another drawback are the strange charts inserted throughout the book that show "alternate names for Christ" or "alternate names for the Church," etc. I found some of these charts somewhat out of place in a book on names. All in all, this book is worth it if you need to know the meanings of some of the less common names encountered in the Bible.

This book has never let me down. It has every name of every river, mountian or man named in the Bible. I have bought several copies for my pastor friends. They all use this book regularly and are always grateful for the gift.

Outstanding resource I refer to many times a week. Knowing the meanings of people and places in the Bible opens up a deeper level of understanding of Scripture. A great tool I've loved and used for many years. Every serious student of the Bible should have a copy.

This edition is concise and conveniently sized for easy portability. Since names in scripture have meaning I find that it enhances my bible study and gives greater insight.

I have always believed that it is NOT a coincidence that things and/or people have the names that they do. And when I use this book, in my Bible Study time, I am amazed at the 'insights' I see into characters and places where the History of the World as seen through God's eyes happen!

If you look inside this book, you will find that the Bible's hyphenated names are not hyphenated, and there are no guides as to where to find these names in the Bible. Look in Strong's Concordance for them. What happened? This is nothing more than a nice-covered skeleton of a book. Will somebody PLEASE come out with a Bible Names Dictionary that has the information we need? This book is absolutely a waste of time and money.

This is a skeleton of a Bible names dictionary. It does not give the pronunciations correctly, and absolutely no references at all to where each name can be found in the bible. When will someone come out with a truly useable Bible names dictionary? This is definitely NOT it!
