This is the third edition of a work first "published in 1962. . . . The editors and most of the contributors are members of the Tyndale Fellowship for Biblical Research, which was founded 'to stimulate evangelical biblical scholarship in Great Britain and elsewhere.' . . . The more than 2,000 entries range from a few lines to several pages and {discuss} . . . the contents of the Bible and its historical, geographical, and cultural background. One hundred key articles have been revised and rewritten, in most cases by the original authors, and a number of new entries have been added. . . . {There are} charts, diagrams, drawings, photographs, and maps. A 10,000-entry index is provided." (Booklist) Bibliography.
This is a classic A-to-Z reference work of Bible terms by an international team of over 150 scholars, now in its third, updated edition. Over 2,000 entries on the Bible's books, people, places, key words, and major doctrines; essential background information on the history, geography and customs of Israel and its Middle Eastern neighbors; up-to-date information on recent advances in the fields of biblical studies and archaeology; and a text highlighted with maps, family trees, line drawings, diagrams, charts, and illustrations. An index with 10,000 entries gives easy access to the massive amounts of information in the book.
