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.

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.

This is a great starter dictionary with illustrations.

I bought this book for my nephew who is in prison. He said that it is a big help with the pictures & etc.

I found that this is a great dictionary for the person just getting started studying the Bible. The pictures and explanations are great. The timeline in the beginning is a real asset. I teach the Training for Service class at my church and this timeline is invaluable to understanding the 400 years between the two testaments. All the charts and displays are nice and vibrant and easy to read. If you purchase it, you will enjoy and get much use out of this.

This is a wonderful bible dicitonary not just for students but for all, its been very helpful...definitions clear and precise...amazing...

I purchased ten of these for our church adult and teen bible study groups. The book is simple for teens and even though perhaps a little too simple for our adults, it is basic and satisfies the text that they need a bible dictionary for. The price was great, too.

This Bible Dictionary is a wonderful, quick resource while learning about the Bible and trying to figure all the main characters and the locations. It is a fast reference and doesn't slow you down trying to move forward in the stories and lessons. I bought it for my children so they could sort out the different kingdoms,tribes, groups, cities, alliances, etc. The dictionary explains the term or location, and then refers the reader to the proper section in the Bible. The maps and illustrations are accurate and well done, the printing and the paper are of high quality, and the book will take a beating while the youngsters are sharing and it passing back and forth. Well worth the price. Good job by the authors.

I am thoroughly pleased with The Student Bible Dictionary. It was in great condition and arrived much sooner than expected. Really glad to have it as a handy addition to my daily Bible reading. It is handy, concise and most helpful.
