The Layman's Bible Dictionary

This little book is such a great help in studying the Bible I love it.

Great Accessory

This is a great companion to the Layman's Quick Reference Concordance. I have used it several times when looking up bible study questions and was really pleased. I do wish it was a little more detailed in explanations. However, I would recommend it.

A Nice, Compact Resource to Help Understand the Bible

The Layman's Bible Dictionary edited by George W. Knight & Rayburn W. Ray contains over 2,500 entries from A to Z. It's comprehensive and accurate. It's laid out so that it's easy to understand. Key words are based on the King James Version, but one can use any bible version. Each entry is cross-referenced with the scripture for indepth study. It's very helpful in explaining all the obscure terms of the KJV Bible. It's simply written that anyone with very Bible knowledge can understand. Every entry is concise with essential facts about the most significant Bible people, places, things and ideas.I find this to be practical and reliable. For added interest it's illustrated with about 27 black and white photographs. It's a great compact size to keep handy along with your Bible for a quick reference. I think this is an excellent resource for students or anyone wanting to expand on their Bible knowledge. It'a also priced just right. I'm sure this would be a valuable source of information to those who are eager to learn more about the Bible. What is NOT included is the pronunciation of names. An excellent source in this area is 'Pronouncing Bible Names' by W. Murray Severance. My other choice for reference would be the 'Eerdmans Dictionary of the Bible' by Allen Myers, 'Dictionary of Paul & his Letters' by G.F. Hawthorne and 'Oxford's A Dictionary of the Bible ' by W. Browning as extended supplemental study.
