From the Publisher
3rd edition

From the Inside Flap
Classic scholarship brought up to date:
- An A – Z of Bible terms, place names, books, people and doctrines
- Written by an international team of over 150 scholars, reflecting recent advances in research and scholarship
- Maps, family trees, line drawings, diagrams and charts clarify and expand the text
- An index gives ease of access to all significant data

The New Bible Dictionary has stood the test of time. It has long been recognized as an essential reference work, and it has been revised and improved for the Bible students of today. This Third Edition updates key articles, time charts and all bibliographies – revisions that reflect recent developments in biblical studies.

A vital tool freshly sharpened for contemporary use.

John Stott says: ‘I doubt if there is any better value for money today than the New Bible Dictionary and the New Bible Commentary. As basic books for every thinking Christian’s library they are indispensable.’

Customer Reviews

Reliable and up to date evangelical scholarship
The New Bible Dictionary first appeared in 1962. It is one of many great books that was written, to a large degree, in Tyndale House, Cambridge. It has been updated several times to include new discoveries and to improve the already terrific original dictionary. The scholars who wrote the articles are some of the best-known, most-respected evangelical scholars today.

Highly recommended.

If you would like this book and 17 other helpful books, including the Dictionary of Biblical Imagery, Sinclair Ferguson's New Dictionary of Theology, the New Bible Dictionary and the New Dictionary of Biblical Theology, you can access them all on the Essential IVP Reference Collection CD ROM.

Great reference book covering all major biblical terms
A great selection of articles covering major biblical terms, themes and ideas. For the most part, clear and thorough, though occasionally too wordy.

Good cross-references and suggestions for further reading.

An very valuable reference book for serious Bible study.
