The color illustrations are taken from classical paintings, illuminations, stained glass, and photographs of objects, plus 50 drawings original to this work. Ten maps show the Middle East in Biblical times, some tracing journeys through the area (e.g., Moses, Jesus, Paul). All the illustrations are sharply reproduced. Sidebars with important information are scattered throughout. They cover such varied topics as the Sermon on the Mount, rabbis, child sacrifice, and the Babylonian Noah.
There are many reference works providing biographies of biblical figures-- Who's Who in the Bible (Bonanza, 1980), Harper's Bible Dictionary (1985), etc.--but this new biographical dictionary will be an asset to all public and high-school libraries. It is readable and full of beautiful illustrations that will please the browser and be helpful to the researcher. This should be on libraries' A list for purchase; consider getting a second copy for the circulating collection.
