The forbidden fruit was more likely an apricot than an apple, and Delilah hired a barber to cut Sampson's hair." "This dictionary of miscellany combs the annuls of Christian esoterica for intriguing facts that are often overlooked or ignored. Departing from the standard subject matter, this work serves as an unruly companion to the typical Bible dictionary. Nearly 1500 entries range from Aaron's beard to zounds. Information is cross-referenced and includes numerous quotations."--BOOK JACKET.
