New Bible Dictionary — Book Review
I have long considered the New Bible Dictionary (NBD) (1st ed., 1962; 2d ed., 1982) to be the best one-volume Bible dictionary available. It was a scholarly treasure-trove of information about almost every conceivable subject relating to the Bible. I have constantly used it for quick reference, as well as to compare information from longer entries in multi-volume Bible encyclopedias. Its list of contributors was a veritable "Who’s Who" in evangelicalism of the British Commonwealth.
