5.0 out of 5 stars I prefer This Bible Dictionary, October 29, 1997

By	Mr. Ronald E. Miller "brron" (Tobyhanna, PA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: New Unger's Bible Dictionary (Hardcover)

This is one of several available Bible dictionaries. I prefer it because it is up to date, comprehensive for a one-volume reference, and has some fine color and bw illustrations. Fifteen color Bible maps with indexes are included as an appendix. It does not champion any particular school of Bible interpretation, although it is obvious that the editors hold to the fundamentals of the Christian faith and the inerrancy of the Scriptures.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best..., May 25, 2003

By	N. Neal "Total Amazon Junkie" (USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: New Unger's Bible Dictionary (Hardcover)

I frequently find myself returning to this dictionary time and again, because it has so much valuable information in it and because it is very extensive in its wide range of topics (for example, ever wondered what 'Selah' means in the Psalms? - it's in here). I would highly recomend this to anyone who is seeking to better understand terms, ideas, names, places, etc... in the Bible.

5.0 out of 5 stars Unger One of the Great Bible Scholars of the 20th Century, May 4, 2003

By	Keith Fitzgerald (Midland, TX United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: New Unger's Bible Dictionary (Hardcover)

Unger's greatness is in his humility. His writings seek to glorify The Lord, not himself. I also recommend his Commentary on the Old Testament, by far the best-ever written. Unger is a christian to be honored and his writings should be treasured. This book is a must-have for the grace-oriented believer.
