  Eerdmans Dictionary of the Bible
  The "Eerdmans Dictionary of the Bible" by David Noel Freedman, in my experience, is an excellent resource for Bible scholars. I have been a Judeo-Christian Bible scholar for 40 years and can appreciate the scope and research that this dictionary represents. Although a scholarly reference book, it is non-the-less easy to read and is not pretentious in any way. I find it invaluable in my studies and research.

• satisfactory
  Generally speaking the book contains a great deal of historical biblical informations and is to some degree an assest to bible study.

Small matters of disagreement between historians (such as whether the book Matthew or Mark was written first)seem to indicate that much of the writing is from a historians viewpoint vs that of a believer.

• superb resource!!
  Excellent one volume bible dictionary. Treats a tremendouse amount of topics from books of the bible to people, places and things in the bible, and more. Probably the best one volume bible dictionary available. Very up to date research backs the articles, pespectives range from moderate to conservative.
