Customer Reviews

Holman Bible Dictionary is a top research choice
Having just finished four years of seminary, I found the Holman Bible Dictionary to be invaluable. Often, I needed some source verse, or a specialized meaning for a Bible term, and Holman had it at my fingertips. Everything from Aaron to Zuzite plus a wealth of other information including maps, photographs, and illustrations rounds out a first rate reference for the seminarian, pastor, lay person, or even crossword puzzler! I can not do without Holman as a constant source for facts, ideas, and verse citations. I recommend this book highly as the first one to serve as the foundation for your personal library.

More than Meets the Eye
This little gem has more than meets the eye. Granted, it is a conservative (but not lacking in information) approach, but avoids the liberal academic pitfalls so often found in their literature (critical analysis etc). This is a user friendly book, thick in size and content is generous. Most of all it comes across trustworthy and reliable, not full of conjecture. A quiet authoritive spiritual treatment without the heavy-handness to go with it. I have used one for years after using many others of the same genre and I prefer Holman's for overall satisfaction after reading it.

Very thorough and wonderfully illustrated
This is a very thorough dictionary that covers just about everything in a non-biased manner considering all opinions and possibilities. This is in the top 2 of Bible Dictionaries I've seen, hence why I have it. All serious Bible students need to have access to this one.
