This review is from: Nelson's New Illustrated Bible Dictionary: Completely Revised and Updated Edition (Hardcover)

If you are a student of the Bible and you can only afford one quality Bible dictionary, get this one. If you already have another dictionary, get this one - it will soon become your favorite. Big, colorful, READABLE print and index - it is exactly what a student needs to find things fast and to have a clear explanation when he finds it. Worth the investment.

5.0 out of 5 stars Indispensable Reference Tool, August 21, 2003

(REAL NAME)   

This review is from: Nelson's New Illustrated Bible Dictionary: Completely Revised and Updated Edition (Hardcover)

If you are ready to dig a little deeper, then you need to add this Dictionary to your own personal library. If you could only purchase one other study guide, this should be the one. An indispensable reference tool that can be used alone or side by side with any Bible or Study Bible translation (KJV, NKJV, NASB, NIV, RSV, etc.)

As you read the definitions of various words or topics of interest, it provides continuous cross-references to Scripture verses; similar to a good Concordance or the teaching methods used by the most reliable Christian authors. Easy to understand, non-denominational, a wealth of pictures and graphics. The section on Bible translations and correct Bible interpretation is worth the cost of this book alone.

"My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge..." Hosea 4:6.
"Test all things; hold fast what is good." 1 Thessalonians 5:21. (NKJV)

4.0 out of 5 stars Illustrated Bible Dictionary, October 13, 2000

By 

Elaine Beilmann (St. Petersburg, FL USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Nelson's New Illustrated Bible Dictionary: Completely Revised and Updated Edition (Hardcover)

I bought this as a reference guide, but found I had a great deal of difficulty putting it down. The explanations are comprehensive, informative and not only guide you through the bible, but give you a history of the people and their time.
