Who Was Who in the BIble

This whole "Ultimate A to Z Resource" Bible study set is an amazing set of books. My kids (I have 6 plus step-kids) have requested this set of books for their own study libraries. They are easy to understand, yet are thorough in their comments. In all of my use of these resource books, I have not found one instance where the Gospel or Biblical principles have been compromised in any way - something that is a rarity in books written and published in this generation. "Nelson Publishers" is to be highly commended for their work.

From the cover:

From the book: From Adam to Zurishaddai-find them all in this easy-to-use, fun-to-read, "who's who" of all the men and women in the Bible. Alphabetically listed, readers will meet everyone from Mary and Joseph to King David, the Queen of Sheba, even the one-time murderer of the Christians-the Apostle Paul! Look up all of your favorite Bible characters and discover their unique and interesting lives and contributions to biblical history. Students, teachers, pastors, and trivia buffs alike will enjoy this fascinating look at the personalities recorded in the Bible.

Supplement with The Complete Guide to the Book of Proverbs.

Who Was Who in the Bible is a great reference resource with lots of entertaining black & white biblical cartoons written in 1999. The commentary shows how to pronounce the people's names and tells what their names meant. Most Scripture quotations are from the New King James Version. The comments are interesting and concise. If you enjoy this book you may also like THE COMPLETE GUIDE TO THE BOOK OF PROVERBS by Cody Jones. Numerous biblical characters are pointed out who illustrate King Solomon's witty observations on human nature.
