Customer Reviews

Great reference book!

This is a great book to pick up some character references for people in the Bible. I remember reading it years ago, and I gave my copy to someone else, so I was glad I could find it again. Highly recommend it if you can find a copy.

Book arrived ahead of schedule, was in new conditon, with only To and From writing in front cover. This was given information before buying will buy from again. 5+ rating.

Excellent Resource!

I'm a divinity student at an Ivy League school. "Who's Who in the Bible" is AWESOME. The bios and content are presented in a flowing, story format. There are lots of pictures and visuals to picture the people and see how they have been portrayed in the art. There's also a comprehensive listing of all of the people in the Bible, which is really helpful. This book is great for div students, but an excellent resource for churches, families, and others!

Supplement with The Complete Guide to the Book of Proverbs.

Who's Who in the Bible is a great reference resource with lots of color illustrations and photos. The commentary shows how to pronounce the people's names and tells what their names meant. Related names are in bold for cross-referencing. Although written in 1994 it quotes the older Revised Standard Version (1952) instead of the New Revised Standard Version(1990). 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.
