I first bought this book in a Kindle format and decided I'm just too old to feel comfortable trying to mange all the flipping around in an electronic form. That being said, it is also so helpful that I went ahead and bought it again in hardback. I have used it so much and am very happy that I invested the money.

5.0 out of 5 stars My go-to Bible Dictionary!
Reviewed in the United States on June 3, 2023
Verified Purchase
Bible dictionaries are incredibly helpful and insightful to anybody of any level of bible study. I am a layman bible student, only having been on my journey to better understand God’s word for about the past year. I had purchased a few study bibles, commentaries, and bible study workbooks, but didn’t really see the point in getting a dictionary, because it sounded as if I was going to be trying to interpret Greek and Hebrew or really complicated word studies to justify my purchase. But then i’ve realized as ive been learning that there are plenty of words, phrases, people, places, etc., in the bible that i needed definitions and context for, and this one has been tremendously helpful!
It has beautiful coloring and illustrations, and had the majority of the terms ive searched for. I own 3: This one, the Holman dictionary, and the Zondervan. They each provide great definitions, and often have slightly different info, so they’re great to use together. However, I find myself grabbing for this one the most, and if I can only carry 1, it will usually be this one. The Nelson’s has fantastic and detailed book introductions and outlines. It has more words than the Holman, although I do enjoy the layout, look and feel of the Holman the most.
If I could only pick one, I personally find this one to be the most helpful in my bible study.

Reviewed in Canada on June 17, 2024

I am a bible college student, and wanted a fairly universal source to start or refer to for my papers. Many assignments I have require a minimum amount of bibliographic entries, and this book has been used on every single one. Its a great resource for adult study, academic research & is biblically sound - with minimal denomination comments. When made, however, its made clear “the Cathloic belief is…”, “most protestants..”

While this Bible Dictionary is not a Catholic one, I was very pleasantly surprised at the very fair, and - I would say - beautiful, treatment of Mary by bible exegete Ronald F Youngblood. This indicates to me that it can be very helpful in other aspects also.
