Long a favorite of evangelical Christians everywhere, the Davis Dictionary of the Bible now appears in a new and larger format with full-color dust jacket. Enlarged type, twenty-six full-color maps, hundreds of new illustrations, and new running heads for easy reference provide a fresh look to this long-valued and unusually popular Bible dictionary. Of particular interest are the fifty new pages of special photo reports. Those on the Philistines, Babylonians, Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans provide glimpses into the daily life of these people and show the significant place these nations occupied in the history of the Israelites. Other photo sections feature versions of the Bible, the Dead Sea scrolls, excavations at Jeresh, tabernacle furnishings, and Passover celebrations of both Jews and Samaritans. New illustrations have been carefully selected to authentically amplify and appropriately explain the text. All have been meticulously substantiated to convey a reliable portrait of Bible lands, people, and times. Archaeologists and Bible scholars have shared their private collections and several museums have provided illustrations of pertinent artifacts. The Davis Dictionary of the Bible has a long and respected history. John D. Davis was an outstanding scholar who had a deep reverence for the Bible as the Word of God. At the same time he had the gift of presenting a wealth of information in clear and understandable language and organizing it into easily accessible and usable form. Davis's aim was to make the Bible more understandable. Unfamiliar names of persons, places, and objects are simply and clearly explained and many times graphically illustrated. The development of the Canon of the Bible is traced and its many versions are discussed. There is a short introduction to each book of the Bible. Anyone wanting to know more about the Bible will find in this new edition of the Davis Dictionary of the Bible genuine enrichment and enlightenment. - Jacket flap.
