4.0 out of 5 stars Great dictionary for beginning bible students, August 9, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: The Student Bible Dictionary (Paperback)

I teach a bible class and found this to be a great dictionary for
beginning bible students.This book could easily be used with children in 5th-6th grade through Adults. There are lots of pictures,maps and charts. Some Hebrew terms are identified and defined as well. I was especially pleased with the up to date information on the word YHWH and its transliteration Jehovah.
There are also still photos of modern day Israel, its people and
various items both from today and antiquity. The price is reasonable enough that continue to buy these from time to time and give them to new students as they join the class. They are adults, but they really look forward to receiving their dictionary.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for beginners and people looking for illustrations, May 1, 2006

This review is from: The Student Bible Dictionary (Paperback)

I didn't realize how much I enjoyed using this dictionary until someone stole mine!!! It has great charts and graphs and is colorful...it has the kings in order and during what time of history...it has pictures...it's simple enough for those who do not want to be weighted down with fancy jargon...so if you are looking for a sophisticated dictionary, this is not it! However, it serves it's purpose. It gives good information, but not a plethora of info...but well worth the money spent!

For the intent and scope of this beginner's Bible dictionary, it is of outstanding value and the price is not bad either. I recommend this dictionary to my seniors Bible study classes and I'm giving a copy to the young man I'm mentoring for confirmation. Word meanings are short, concise and easy to understand and it is filled with all sorts of explanatory charts, tables, diagrams and maps, as well as, some superb artwork. I have a more complete dictionary for home study use but this is the one I carry to class.
