5.0 out of 5 stars
lover of books,
This review is from: Richard's Complete Bible Dictionary (Hardcover)
By far the best Bible dictionary available.
The facts are clear and very interesting to read. He includes many areas you don't usually find in a Bible dictionary. It almost reads like a good book -- it's hard to put down. The illustrations are especially beautiful. I'm particular about the reference works I buy and this is the best. Don't let this one pass you by.

If I had to choose,
This review is from: Richard's Complete Bible Dictionary (Hardcover)
If the Lord told me he was going to put me on a remote island and I had the choice of one bible and one other book, this would be it hands down. I have looked through several bible dictionary's and none of them are as simple to read or more importantly as thorough as this one. He constantly uses OT & NT applications both where available, for every word as well as any Hebrew or Greek words and definitions. He also demonstrates any applications to the Christian faith as evident in his definitions for the words grace and law.
More simply put if money were no object I would buy a whole case to give away as gifts and every true Christian should have one of these on their shelves.

The best in its class!,

This review is from: Richard's Complete Bible Dictionary (Hardcover)
Although the heading of this review would suggest that I have read (at least) all existing bible dictionaries, this is not the case. But this one must be at the top of its class. It is like a "regular" dictionary, but then referring to events and places related to the bible, extensively and beautifully illustrated on nice smooth paper.
A few remarks: the book is called "Richards Complete Bible Dictionary", not Richard's, etc. The man who wrote and edited the book is called Lawrence O. Richards, without an apostrophe. So Angie Peters is not the author. It may be that in 1998 the publishers were Thomas Nelson, but my 2002 edition comes from World Bible Publishers, who in 2003 were acquired by Thomas Nelson. This dictionary is no longer mentioned on Tomas Nelson's site. Instead they offer an "Illustrated Bible Handbook", by Lawrence O. Richards and Angie Peters, in a hardcover edition as well, however, with 864 pages, not the 1156 pages of the Bible Dictionary. I have not seen the Illustrated Bible Handbook, but I assume that it does not hold the same amount of information.
