The New Interpreter's dictionary of the Bible
Call Number: Jones Ref BS440 .N445 2006ISBN: 0687054273Publication Date: 2006Intended for more of a professional/general readership, articles in this series cover many of the same topics as Anchor Bible Dictionary. But not to the same scholarly depth of analysis nor length of treatment.
