This is the best one-volume Bible dictionary available and the articles are often better than those in multi-volume sets. Thoroughly evangelical and excellent in scholarship. Highly recommended!

This is truly a wonderful Bible Dictionary. I have owned this one for some time and now have given it as a gift because of my respect for the scholarship and reliable information it provides. This yet another balanced presentation from IVP. Thank you!

The best one volume Bible dictionary available. Minimal liberal presuppositions can be found, but it is the most evangelical of the plethora of Bible dictionaries available.
