"A timely and lasting work."--Library Journal
"Written by an international team of biblical experts, this
reliable resource covers the people, places, and groups (e.g.,
angels, tribes of Israel) found in the Bible and also considers
what the Bible says and how biblical traditions have been
interpreted by scholars. The over 300 alphabetical and signed
articles cover virtually every major biblical figure from Adam to
Jesus and significant places from Egypt and Assyria to Bethlehem
and Sodom, as well as
geographical features such as the Sea of Galilee and Mount Hebron,
all in excellent detail. The content reflects recent findings of
archaeologists and current research methods, making the work
authoritative
as well as comprehensive.... A timely and lasting work. Highly
recommended for all public and academic libraries, this is also
worth considering by for high school libraries with advanced
students."--Library Journal "Recommended for general
readers."--Choice
