One of the best...,
By N. Neal (USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The New Unger's Bible Dictionary (Hardcover)
I frequently find myself returning to this dictionary time and again, because it has so much valuable information in it and because it is very extensive in its wide range of topics (for example, ever wondered what 'Selah' means in the Psalms? - it's in here). I would highly recomend this to anyone who is seeking to better understand terms, ideas, names, places, etc... in the Bible.

Unger One of the Great Bible Scholars of the 20th Century,
By
This review is from: The New Unger's Bible Dictionary (Hardcover)
Unger's greatness is in his humility. His writings seek to glorify The Lord, not himself. I also recommend his Commentary on the Old Testament, by far the best-ever written. Unger is a christian to be honored and his writings should be treasured. This book is a must-have for the grace-oriented believer.

I prefer This Bible Dictionary,
By Mr. Ronald E. Miller "brron" - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The New Unger's Bible Dictionary (Hardcover)
This is one of several available Bible dictionaries. I prefer it because it is up to date, comprehensive for a one-volume reference, and has some fine color and bw illustrations. Fifteen color Bible maps with indexes are included as an appendix. It does not champion any particular school of Bible interpretation, although it is obvious that the editors hold to the fundamentals of the Christian faith and the inerrancy of the Scriptures.

My favorite Bible Dictionary,
By moviemusicbuff - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: NEW UNGER'S BIBLE DICTIONARY, THE (Hardcover)
I own several other Bible dictionaries (e.g. New Bible Dictionary, Nelson's Illustrated Bible Dictionary, Eerdmans Bible Dictionary) and I use this one the most. This edition is revised and updated by the editors R.K. Harrison, Howard F. Vos, and Cyril J. Barber (all renown evangelical scholars). It is much better than the older Ungers Bible Dictionary.Dr. Merrill Unger is an evangelical scholar who holds to the full inerrancy of Scripture and who adopts a conservative viewpoint regarding the authorship of books such as Isaiah and Daniel. He believes in the single authorship of Isaiah and holds to an earlier dating of the book of Daniel. His views on the prophetic / apocalyptic books such as Daniel and Revelation reflect a premillennial dispensationalist viewpoint (i.e. futurist view); that is, he believes that Israel and the church are distinct from one another and have distinct purposes, the Rapture will come before the Great Tribulation, the millennium is a literal 1,000 years, etc. Regarding the rite of baptism, Unger is careful to explain both the Baptist and non-Baptist views. Concerning the Lord's Supper, he does a brief treatment of the different views regarding the essential nature of the elements in the Lord's Supper. The entries are very clearly written and easy to understand. Interspersed throughout are helpful maps, colored illustrations, and black and white photographs. If you want a clearly written Bible dictionary written from a conservative, evangelical viewpoint, this dictionary is for you. I turn to this reference first when I'm in need of a quick, comprehensive treatment of a topic in the Bible. It's my favorite Bible dictionary. It explains everything clearly, succinctly, yet comprehensively. Highly recommended! |
