A Dictionary of the Bible (Oxford Paperback Reference)

£5.79

A bit disappointing - Although the price is low I did expect more from this Dictionary because it is an Oxford, it seems to be lacking in depth.

Comprehensive And Detailed Information - This slim volume details not only characters from the Bible but a background to the theology and customs of the cultures of the Biblical lands. It provides clear Biblical references and is useful as it gives a clear background to the contexts in which the books of the Old and New Testaments were written.Whilst not being comprehensive, it has no reference to The Nephilim , for example, it is a good value and highly useful resource for those who wish to explore the background to The Bible in any depth.
