Holman Illustrated Bible Dictionary

$24.49

The Holman Illustrated Bible Dictionary has been the go-to Bible reference resource for lay Bible students, teachers, pastors, academic courses, and libraries. It has drawn praise by those who have used it for its comprehensiveness, conciseness, and clarity. It includes over 6,500 articles (from Aaron to Zuzite) that are written to equip the reader for interpreting and understanding the Scriptures at a deeper level. Articles are structured to begin with a concise definition followed by in-depth study of the topic. The 700 full-color photos, maps, reconstructions, and charts enrich the reader’s experience. Bible readers usually feel separated from the original documents by 2,000 to 3,500 years. This dictionary helps bridge this chasm. It does so by offering the linguistic, literary, geographical, historical, and cultural information that will enrich the experience for those using this reference for personal study, academic work, or preparation for teaching and preaching the Bible. Includes up to date archaeological information that illuminates the biblical text.
