I have purchased seven dictionaries, one for myself and the others for gifts for Christmas.  I am so impressed with this dictionary because of its "down to earth" layman language.  I have a Strong's and Vines but this particular dictionary gives me so much more information for my Bible studies and in depth studies of the Bible.  I highly recommend this particular dictionary for all serious students of the Bible.

InterVarsity Press has been establishing itself as a leading publisher of scholarly reference works for the last several years.  After the completion of the four volume Dictionary of the New Testament series, they have embarked on a matching four volume set on the Old Testament.

The editors have assembled an impressive list of nearly 100 individual contributors representing a full spectrum of evangelical scholars.  There is a helpful list of the contributors by name with a listing of the articles they authored.  The editors have included a useful section on "How to Use this Dictionary" (xi-xii) that details the structural features of the work.  There is also a listing of abbreviations, which, although it is a duplication of the Society of Biblical Literature guidelines, it is still a handy quick reference for this volume.  The volume is arranged in a helpful two-column format and each article is outlined at the beginning and all have rather extensive bibliographic support.

It is impossible to discuss even a small portion of the nearly 200 articles in this massive volume.  Some are worthy of special note however.  The article by B. T. Arnold on "History of Pentateuchal Criticism" (622-31) is an excellent survey of the major issues and personalities in Old Testament historical criticism.  The articles on the "Date of the Exodus" (258-72) by John H. Walton and the "Exodus Route and Wilderness Itinerary" (272-80) by Peter Enns are exceptionally detailed with excellent charts.  There is also a thought-provoking article on "Preaching from the Pentateuch" (637-43).

The publisher is to be commended for commissioning this new addition to Biblical reference as are the editors for the end result, which is a work that should serve as the standard reference work on the Pentateuch for many years.

A nice paperback sized atlas, handy to bring around. Yet the maps and charts included inside this book are amazingly comprehensive!

The content is arranged clearly and concisely, following the events of the Bible chronologically.

This book is highly recommended to laypeople, teachers and Bible Scholars alike.

However, one thing missing that would make this book complete would be an index of terms as well as scriptural references that could have been listed at the back. All this book has is a content page in front.

Here is an exhaustive biblical resource that is invaluable to students of koine New Testament Greek and Greek-less students of the Bible who wish to understand the original contexts of the english words found in translation.  The format of this dictionary is very fluid in its organization and clearly presented.  For example, the reader looks up the english entry "Word" and one finds I.) the Greek "Logos" with a full definition and analysis, the word's use in context of the passage with relevant cross-references and II.) "Rhema" with a definition and analysis (etc, etc).  And, at the end of the entries there is a section dedicated to "Notes" where further elucidations are made.  Overall, this is a very good single-volume dictionary with multiple functions for Bible study, since it is, after all, a dictionary that also acts as a concordance and commentary.

Nelsons study bible is great. Most verses are footnoted and there are easy to read summaries before each book of the bible. After reading nelsons study bible I now have no desire to read my original bible which is not a study bible. Also the paper back version is good b/c it is small enough that you can take it anywhere and not very expensive at about $15.00 new. If you have reservations about this study bible buy the papaer back as it is the least expensive and decide for yourself if you want to purchase the more expensive "larger" versions. Only draw back is that this version has small print for those who have trouble w/eyes.

It is a wonderful reference book. This book allows you to gain a better understanding of the King James Version of the Bible especially when scripture is misquoted.  I'm so glad someone came out with combining the two together.

The New Oxford Annotated Bible with Apocrypha is an excellent resource. I would prefer a darker type and larger font for the
large paperback.

Esta Biblia para ni&ntilde;os ofrece muchas historias ilustradas con graficos muy logrados. El lenguage utilizado puede resultar un poco elevado para seg&uacute;n qu&eacute; edades. Esta Biblia ofrece explicaciones para que los padres que leen esta Biblia a sus hijos puedan entneder mejor algunos t&eacute;rminos y explic&aacute;rselos a sus hijos. Es una excelente Biblia. Recomendable para padres cristianos que buscan una Biblia para leer a sus hijos.

This Bible combines easy reading typeface with the most unusual feature of colour pictures on most of it's lovely pages.  Although published by A Seventh Day Adventist Publisher, there is NO doctrinal bias or slant since only the time honoured KJV verses are presented without notes or commentary.  This is a great addition to one's collection as well as a great idea for Christmas giving, confirmation or any other occasion.

I love my Bible, the large print is just what I need. It has a good strong cover that look like leather, but it is not real leather, I like it anyway. I like all the added resources,  The old and New testament overview, prayers of the bible, place for marriage, birth, death
a good concordance and maps of Bible time. You will enjoy the extra resources.

Receiving books to review is fun, it is especially fun when the book proves to be an excellent addition to your personal bookshelf. Such a book is Nelson's Complete Book of Bible Maps and Charts, 3rd Edition. This book is a compilation of summaries, charts and maps for each individual book in the Bible. It would be extremely useful for Bible study, both in a Church or individual setting as well as part of a homeschool reference library.

The book is set up with a chapter devoted to each book of the Bible. The format for each chapter is basically the same: first comes a quick overview of the book followed by information on the author, the time period the book covers as well as the time it was written, explanation of the them and literary structure and an outline of the chapter. But that is not the end of it. Charts, maps and further summaries follow the outline fleshing out the brief summary at the beginning of the chapter. This makes for a great resource during Bible Study. I found the charts and maps to be an especially useful resource for visualizing some of the more difficult parts of the Old Testament. For example, I often find it difficult to keep the locations straight of the various places mentioned in the Old Testament. These handy maps make that task much simpler for me.

Add this book to your bookshelf. You won't be sorry and you will find yourself reaching for it many times as you study your Bible.

This book is an ideal bible reference for individuals who are looking for a tool to use while studying. The cross reference between James Durr's wealth of knowledge and wisdom with that of the Bible, makes it an indispensable tool to add to you bible study library. I recommend it highly.

The Nelson's Pocket Reference is very helpful in finding Bible verses in New King James Version. The book material is of very good quality. Print size is smaller than standard but still very clear.

A beautifully bound, and lovingly put together Bible, with every bit the detailed maps, historical explanations and detailed footnotes and cross references I was expecting. And the ESV version is perfect for in-depth Bible study, combining accuracy with easily understood language. I bought the Bible as a gift for a new believer and they have been absolutely blessed by it. I highly recommend you to buy it!

Rose Publishing has done a great job in putting together this pamphlet on the various names of God referred to in the Bible.  It gives the meaning, application, Bible reference, and added comments.  There is a section that gives a brief description of Jesus, some of His attributes, His connection with the Father, and scriptures where Jesus is compared to God in Old Testament terms, such as Jehovah-Jireh or El Shaddai.  These Hebrew terms are explained and backed up with scripture from the New Testament.  The last part of the pamphlet contains a personal reflection area.

This booklet is informative and an excellent quick guide to the various names of God.  I highly recommend purchasing this pamphlet.
