    The Holman Illustrated Bible Dictionary is a time-tested Bible reference resource that has now been further revised, updated, and expanded for the contemporary reader. Its not often that a dictionary remains at the top of the best-sellers list, but for the last twenty-five years The Holman Illustrated Bible Dictionary has been the go-to resource for teachers, pastors, and Bible students around the English-speaking world. With nearly 400 contributors, more than 6,500 articles, and over 1,700 pages, The Holman Illustrated Bible Dictionary is both comprehensive, concise, and clear. Each article begins with a concise definition followed with a more developed treatment of the topic. Moreover, The Holman Illustrated Bible Dictionary boasts roughly 700 beautiful full-color photos, maps, charts, and reconstructions that help illuminate the biblical world like never before.

    The scope of The Holman Illustrated Bible Dictionary is quite impressive and the articles are consistently well-written and thorough. This completely revised third edition of the best-selling dictionary brings up-to-date archeological information, theological conversation, and more. The usefulness of this resource cannot be overstated, but for the sake of space a few highlights are worth mentioning. First and foremost, each biblical book has an at a glance section that allows the reader to quickly capture necessary information related to any of the sixty-six canonical books of the Old and New Testament. This section includes author, date, setting, genre, and major themes. Second, the articles are consistently written from a conservative evangelical perspective and unashamedly seek to tackle related issues from within that framework. Third, the articles are broad and reach into other related disciplines outside the narrower confines of many Bible dictionaries, such as the inclusion of articles on Flavius Josephus, Textus Receptus, and even includes an article on the Weather. Lastly, a pronunciation guide is provided for all proper nouns and other hard-to-pronounce words. This is an unnecessary feature that displays well the detailed thought that went into the production of The Holman Illustrated Bible Dictionary.

    The Holman Illustrated Bible Dictionary has been updated once again. Now packaged between an all new contemporary designed hardcover, The Holman Illustrated Bible Dictionary has received a much-needed facelift. But the cover isnt the only thing that changed. The content has been finely combed and updated to reflect the most accurate and up-to-date archeological information and theological conversations. The format has been revised and additional and updated illustrations have been utilized. In short, if you are looking for an up-to-date one-volume Bible dictionary, then few resources available are going to compare to the usefulness of The Holman Illustrated Bible Dictionary. Its the first off my shelf when I need a quick answer to an imminent question and the last to be closed at the end of a study. It comes highly recommended.

    In-depth, conservative, attractive, scholarly, accessiblethis is the best single-volume Bible Dictionary we have today. Revised and expanded from its popular previous edition, it covers just about anything you could think of researching.

    You get the typical person, place, and thing common to Bible Dictionaries. Then you theological ideas and introductions to books of the Bible. There are helpful charts in places. For example, the chart beginning on page 1359 Millennial Perspectives on Revelation covers 5 pages and includes an incredible amount of helpful information.

    The book is appealing to the eye as well. Choice pictures are found on almost every page. The maps are high quality and very helpful. You might read an entry and want more, but this the greatest amount of information that you can get in one volume. It comes in at around 1700 pages and you would have to go to an expensive, multi-volume Bible Encyclopedia to get more.

    This dictionary is perfect for pastors, Sunday School teachers, or any serious Bible student. I give it the highest recommendation!

    First of all, when I opened the box, all I saw was 3 big cuts across the cover and felt such a let down. I started to question whether I ordered a damaged book, but for the price I payed, the damage wasn't worth sending it back. With that being said, this is an excellent resource and I'm glad to add it to my library. I was a little worried at first that the binding was maybe too flexible for a thick book, but it lays flat and I think the flexibility might increase its longevety considering its heft. It's 1710 beautifully printed satin sheen pages that lends well to the color photos without the extra cost and glare of full gloss paper. I love the color alphabetical "quicktabs" that helps guide your eye for quick location. It has a double column layout with subjects in bold print and definitions in an easy to read, well spaced font. It also has a pronunciation guide for hard to pronounce words. A helpful resource and worthy addition to anyones library.

    I seek all of the knowledge that I can get. Great addition to my library. A real help in preparing presentations. Nice pics too. Better than I've found in other dictionaries like this. Lots of words. Haven't "not" found a word yet.

    If I do "not" find a word I'll repost, but I am impressed.
