Amg Concise Bible Dictionary

When people read the Bible, they are often frustrated by the wide gap in time and culture that separates them from the original readers. The aim of The AMG Concise Bible Dictionary is to bridge that gap by providing the sort of information that ordinary readers are looking for in their search for a clearer understanding of the Bible. And once they understand the Bible they will find it has its own way of making itself relevant to them. The AMG Concise Bible Dictionary presents the material in an easy-to-read, non-technical style. It is simple, but not simplistic. It seeks to be true to the biblical material, while at the same time being helpful to the reader. The AMG Concise Bible Dictionary is accurate, readable, and a helpful source of information on the content of the Bible. With almost one thousand entries, it covers all the major areas of biblical knowledge.
