Product Description
Synopsis
This unique volume offers much more than its convenient, compact size -- a dictionary, a topical index, and a survey.
From the Back Cover
Who were the Pharisees? What did Samson and John the Baptist have in common? Does an altar really have "horns"? Turn to the NIV Compact Dictionary of the Bible and find out. It has the answers to these and hundreds of other questions you're likely to wonder about as you read the Bible. Condensed from the New International Bible Dictionary, this unique volume offers much more than its convenient, take anywhere size. It's actually three books in one: - A Dictionary -- for easy-to-find, practical information on thousands of topics - A Topical Index -- for detailed study of nearly 150 larger topics, listing all articles in the dictionary that relate to a given topic - A Survey -- providing an introductory overview of the Bible, biblical history, and biblical culture -- Concise, readable, and informative, the NIV Compact Dictionary of the Bible is ideal for use at home, in study groups, and in schools. It will help you clear up the who, what, where, why, and how of the Bible so you can better appreciate the depth of its wisdom and its relevance for you today.

This little compact book is a fine companion to your Bible. The writing is not over small for a book of this size. There are not that many maps but quite a few pictures. I found this to be a good buy.

New Compact Dictionary of the Bible
20 Nov 2009
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Wonderful tool in studying the Bible. Definitely a help in studying the word of God and developing my faith.
FOR KINDLE VERSION ONLY
3 Dec 2011
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
Please note, this review is based on the Kindle version of this book, and the review is based strictly on the FORMATTING (not the CONTENT) of the book. I rated this e-book with only 1 star because the formatting makes it extremely difficult to navigate. The table of contents has only a few sections: 1.) How to Use This Book, 2.) Survey of the Bible and Bible Times, 3.) Dictionary, and 4.) Names Not Listed in the Dictionary. There are no further subdivisions. So, for example, if you want to go to the dictionary, it brings you immediately to the entry for "Aaron", and that is the only starting point within the dictionary. As far as I can tell, the only alternative is to search by keyword, which is extremely cumbersome. For example: The first search I tried was "Jeremiah", which gave me 160 hits throughout the entire text. So far as I can tell, there's no way to isolate the actual dictionary entry for Jeremiah without also bringing up all the cross-references. The net result is that this book is completely useless to me in the electronic format.
