The New Unger's Bible Dictionary Hardcover – May 1, 2006

I accepted Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior way back in 1983. Shortly afterwards I desired to study the Bible in depth but didn't have a lot of cash so I bought the budget editions of Moody's Bible Commentary and Unger's Bible Dictionary. Anyone else remember those bright yellow flimsy paperback covers that began to turn up at the corners after a couple of month's use? I also bought a cheap edition of Strong's concordance. Well, after eight years in a rigid, legalistic, independent fundamentalist church I became exasperated (as my new pastor would say) and walked away from the Lord for 23 years. The Bible, commentary, dictionary, and concordance all went into the trash. Ugh! What a dummy!But the Lord was mercifully patient with me and kept calling me back to Him. Last year I returned to the Lord. Oh, what joy to be in His fellowship again, to read His word and to fellowship with other believers! And what a joy it is to dig deep into the Bible. My heart overflows! I recently picked up a good Bible commentary and concordance and also this updated edition of Unger's Bible Dictionary. I love Unger's. There's no need to worry about doctrinal orthodoxy with this tried-and-true dictionary. Dr. Unger was a conservative Evangelical scholar; a theologian, teacher, and archaeologist who loved the Lord and greatly reverenced His Word.Every believer approaches God's Word differently. Some deep-dive into the Word daily while others may read only a few verses now and then. But having a good Bible dictionary like Unger's with you as you read Scripture will help your understanding tremendously. Let's face it, few of us are familiar with Hebrew/Jewish history, culture, and geography. When the Bible references unfamiliar people, places, objects, and customs we tend to gloss right over them. But what rich treasure there is in those details! If you really desire a deeper understanding of God's Word do yourself a favor and buy this New Unger's Bible Dictionary.

This one of my best Bible dictionaries. Color pictures throughout, exceptional definitions, and excellence in textual writing. Highly recommended.

The book is beautiful, very detailed, and useful.I am very satisfied.

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve pulled this book out and used it as an aid for studying my Bible! I’ve shown many visitors and they are all impressed with it too. Highly recommend adding to your home library!

This is an indispensable book for any serious student of Biblical hermeneutics, along with your concordance, lexicons etc. Just remember that Unger's is just a man like any other (and all the other contributors for that matter) and commentary is often merely opinion. Apply your rational thinking, logic and reason when studying scripture (Isa 1:18, Jer 17:9). Keep seeking to prove the will of God (Rom 12:2).

If you love to learn, teach Bible classes or homeschool please order this book. Beautifully illustrated and so informative. My 23-year-old and I use it for our Bible time and journaling!

This is a very good dictionary. The only other dictionary that equals or maybe better is my very old Smith's Bible Dictionary. This is a thick heavy tp,e because it uses the best slick paper available. It is beautifully made with very good information. You will not be disappointed that you got it. This should last you 40 or 50 years.
