Editorial Reviews

Library Journal
Zondervan, which has a reputation for conservative Bible studies publishing, has produced two attractive sets for scholars and students of the Bible. The Encyclopedia, edited by two professors of theological and biblical studies who have each written or edited several other works in this field, is thoroughly revised and has over 250 scholar/contributors for its 7500-plus articles. Alphabetically arranged, the entries range from a few words to many pages, with the entry on Jesus Christ numbering almost 100 pages. Small caps are used to indicate the thousands of cross references, but no subject index exists, a serious lack in a work of this size. The introduction details the work's use of various Bible translations and the transliteration of proper names. An attempt has been made to appeal to an audience beyond Bible scholars; the eye-pleasing font, ample white space, use of bold headers, and generous use of color photos and illustrations certainly make this an attractive set for a reasonable price.

    Hard Work

    Tons of information, but almost impossible to get to. Virtually no hyperlinks! Links only to specific letters of the alphabet. Therefore you have to physically scroll page after page after page - ad nausium! Takes forever to get to an entry. These volumes need a complete overhaul to make them user friendly! Two stars only because of the data available.
