Unger's Bible Dictionary : 1,000,000 words; 1,200 pages; 7,000 articles; 536 photographs and drawings; 16 multiocolored maps
Outline: Because the Bible came into being in a different age, with cultural and historical backgrounds alien to those of today, many readers have difficulty in understanding its details. A Bible dictionary, defining and clarifying unfamiliar names of per- sons, places and objects to which the Bible refers, is an indispensable tool for the Bible student. Unger's Bible Dictionary, with its 1,200 pages and 7,000 articles, has proved its value during ever-growing use as an authoritative reference work, encyclopedic in its scope. Every subject has received careful, thorough treatment, though conciseness has been maintained throughout. More than 500 illustrations add to the usefulness of this volume. Dr. Unger has made use of the latest archaeological discoveries (the field of study in which he received his Ph.D. degree from Johns Hopkins University) to expand and illustrate Bible backgrounds, customs and history. The facts of history and geography of ancient Near Eastern lands as they bear upon the Bible are drawn upon extensively to make the Old and New Testaments live. To achieve clarity and simplicity, longer articles have been outlined in bold type, so that a busy reader can more readily locate what he is looking for without having to read through an entire article. Everything possible has been done to make Unger's Bible Dictionary a readily usable handbook and tool for pastors, Bible teachers and Christians in general.
