WHO'S WHO IN THE BIBLE
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
Terrific for quick reference, and very helpful to help anyone who is teaching Bible lessons,etc. I think everyone would find this book a must have. Our young people find the Bible confusing, this will help them also, so many times through out the Bible, names are repeated, or sounds the same. This book really, really goes hand in hand with reading the Bible. Great for all ages, we can never learn enough, no matter how many times we read the Bible, but this book helps explain who we are reading about. I'd rate it 10+. Hope this helps. Jeanette Storaska

From Aaron to Paul, Adam to Mary, Achan to Judas, Dr. Motyer gives us a great picture of the biblical world, from the temptation and fall to the missionary journeys of Paul, this book is filled with comprehensive information that make you want to read it again and again! A fantastic book!
This one won't gather dust

No mysteries to this title. It does exactly what it says. It explains who's who in a very logical manner. Don't let the number of pages fool ya'...every page is packed with info and illustrations! I especially enjoyed the range of art work used (different mediums, styles). This is NOT your typical reference book. I thought of placing it on the shelf between the dictionary and the encylopedias, but it is used more often than those! It is an instant favorite with the kids. They are facinated with the meanings of the names listed with other interesting facts, such as to whom they are related,where they can be found in the Bible and short paraphrases about their role in the Bible. Lastly I must say that I am glad it is a hard back book because I know it will see a lot of wear.
