Book Review: The Baker Compact Dictionary of Biblical Studies

Good, short resource

This dictionary is not necessarily a dictionary of the Bible. Rather, it is a dictionary of Bible doctrines, extra-Biblical terms and events, and Bible scholars. This makes it a bit different than other Bible dictionaries that you will find, but it is a good resource because of it.

This small dictionary gives some good definitions of what are often some terms that do not have definitions found in other places. It's easy to keep in a pocket of a bag to go along with your Bible, especially if you're going to be taking Bible classes and don't understand some of the terms used. 4 stars out of 5.
