FANTASTIC!

THIS DICTIONARY IS FANTASTIC. I WOULD RECOMMEND THIS TO ANY CHRISTIAN WHO REALLY WANTS TO KNOW ABOUT THE TRUE HISTORY OF THE BIBLE.

Zondervan Pictorial Bible Dictionary

I purchased this for my father-in-law who is a sunday school teacher and he loves the additional information it gives him in his teaching.

A Good Reference Tool

While this Bible dictionary is not a complete or exhaustive type dictionary, it is amazingly broad. The contents of some of the subjects include its background and some present information. This is just a great one volume Bible doctionary to have. Zondervan press made a right move to reprint Dr. Tenny's work.

Excellent reference work

I purchased this dictionary some years ago and it has been a constant companion to my bible. I take it everywhere I take my bible. I have compared the entries to other dictionaries and although it doesn't contain everything (what single volume can?) it does have certain references that are excluded by the others. For example, the term "ephod" I was unable to locate in any other dictionary but found it here not only with a definition but a picture as well. I enjoy just reading it by itself and have learned and clarified much. I highly recommend it as one of the best single volume pictorial dictionaries available to anyone seeking greater understanding of the Bible and the way things were.

Great reference, a must have for serious bible research

While not completely exhaustive, it covers a tremendous range of topics with enough information to answer casual questions while pointing to further reference material for indepth study. A great starting place for almost any religious topic!
