Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Meaning of the Bible: What the Jewish Scriptures and Christian Old Testament Can Teach Us, preeminent biblical scholars Douglas A. Knight and Amy-Jill Levine deliver a broad and engaging introduction to the Old Testament—also known as the Tanakh or Hebrew Bible—offering a wealth of compelling historical background and context for the sacred literature that is at the heart of Judaism and Christianity. John Shelby Spong, author of Re-Claiming the Bible for a Non-Religious World writes, "Levine and Knight have combined to write a book on the Bible that is as academically brilliant as it is marvelously entertaining. By placing our scriptures into their original Jewish context they have opened up startling and profound new insights. This is a terrific book."

'The Ultimate Bible Dictionary' does not only provide all of these dictionary entries and consequently an encyclopedia and who-was-who of the Bible. We also offer a very extensive table-of-contents that makes every single entry available at a click. We are not providing a basic TOC with first-letter-browsing only, this is structured down to the very entry. Also this edition provides a detailed annotation regarding the history of the Bible with almost 6000 words. This annotation shows not only the beginning of the scriptures, but also the changes they took through the centuries. If you want ease-of-use, a plethora of knowledge and a good price - this is your edition of the Bible Dictionary.

He was at one time president of the Catholic Biblical Association of America and president of the Society of Biblical Literature. His Dictionary of the Bible is the best one-volume orthodox Catholic Bible dictionary available in the English language—it’s an essential reference tool that should be on the shelf of every good Catholic library. A standard reference work, providing concise descriptions of biblical characters, terms, and places, as well as pertinent illustrations and charts, this is “one of the most up-to-date and reliable dictionaries of the Bible in any language.…Magnificent in scholarship, ample in learning, frank and unhesitating in facing all the difficulties and problems, sympathetic with the varieties and diversities of other views” (Religious Education).
