Dictionary Of The Bible

This edition is a paperback using 'perfect binding' which means it is glued in single sheets. It will last well provided it is handled carefully. The paper is moderately thick and nicely opaque. The print is fairly good and large enough to read without strain.For production I rate this as 3 or 4 stars.The content of this dictionary is truly excellent. John L McKenzie writes succinctly, clearly, and accurately on the topics he addresses. His coverage of topics is very good indeed.For content I rate this as 5 stars.

I've used this for the last five years, and, simply put, I have to agree with all the positive reviews. I have nothing to add except that I felt another five star review was needed to offset what obviously was an error in the single one star but positive review. What's nice about this dictionary is that, while the information is timeless, the book itself is oldish and thus available used at rock bottom cost. I now purchase only used books, of all types, and have found anything rated good or better perfectly fine for use.

Great book for all Christians.. Various orders of priests devote themselves to different missions. Jesuits typically devote themselves to scholarship. This book is among the better I have read. Try it.

An excellent wealth of biblical information that I refer to quite regularly! I also have Scott Hahn's Bible Dictionary and this one by John McKenzie adds to Hahn's information nicely! I gave it four stars only because it appears "photocopied" but that could just be due to it's older copyright date. All-in-all, a great reference and recommended purchase!

Just ONE word can change the whole meaning … when it comes to scripture GET IT RIGHT!

This book was recommended for the Bible study course I am taking. It seems to do quite well in defining biblical words that come up in our study. I would recommend it, as well, for any teen or adult studying the Bible.

Absolutely the best Bible Dictionary I have found in over 45 years of Bible Study. Highly recommend it for beginner to expert.
