Format:Hardcover
The New Bible Dictionary is more like an encyclopaedia than simply a dictionary. The scholarship is first-rate and the book is an almost essential resource for those who are conducting more in-depth study of the Bible.
It contains a number of articles from a range of good Christian scholars on pretty much every person, place, book and other thing in the Bible. For example, when discussing a book of the Bible, the article would contain information about the author, the date of writing, some of the scholarly issues concerning that book and would give a broad overview of the purpose and theology of the book.
This book is an invaluable resource for both lay person and Ministers, and would be useful to anyone who is involved in writing Bible studies or talks on the Bible, or who is undertaking formal study of the Bible or who is simply serious about examining more closely what the Bible really says.
If you fit one of these categories, you should definitely buy this book.

The New Bible Dictionary first appeared in 1962. It is one of many great books that was written, to a large degree, in Tyndale House, Cambridge. It has been updated several times to include new discoveries and to improve the already terrific original dictionary. The scholars who wrote the articles are some of the best-known, most-respected evangelical scholars today.
Highly recommended.
If you would like this book and 17 other helpful books, including the Dictionary of Biblical Imagery, Sinclair Ferguson's New Dictionary of Theology, the New Bible Dictionary and the New Dictionary of Biblical Theology, also the Essential IVP Reference Collection CD ROM.

This book was a gift from a friend about a year ago. I use it all the time when reading the Bible and doing studies with friends. It has all the information you could ever want. Some very obscure topics are left untouched, but all of the major and minor topics are dealt with. It also includes maps, pictures, etc. Well worth the money.

The New Bible Dictionary is a great tool for any person trying to do entry level hermeneutics. It isn't terribly in-depth, but it provides a lot of great information. It is no doubt one of the first resources to start with in order to get a base of knowledge!

Very good Bible dictionary. Have others and always looking to learn something new about a Bible word. Bible dictionaries have a lot of the same words but not all have the same information. Each one is different and unique in itself. Would recommend the New Bible Dictionary to anyone who is a student, no matter what your age. Like other Bible dictionaries, there are many scholars who contribute so there is always the advantage and privilege of learning something from a different perspective.

I am very pleased with the New Bible Dictionary I purchased recently. I teach an adult Sunday School class which requires a lot of preparation and in-depth study. My pastor suggested this book as a reliable resources that he uses to prepare his sermons. He lent me his copy so I could decide if it would fit my needs. It appears to have even more helps and information than I could have hoped for. The pastor gave me great advice when he recommended that I should order this book!

I use this Bible dicitonary not only for defining biblical facts, but as an added help in commentary. The information
is factual, not slanted to one particular denominational bent.
I have several books for bible study reference that are the best available resources at this time, and this one is at the top of my list.

This is a very good Biblical dictionary. It helps you understand Biblical terms and is easy enough for a young adult/teenager to use.
