Get more from your personal Bible time by
understanding the meaning and story behind some 2,000 Bible names.
Covering more than 3,400 individuals in scripture, the
Dictionary of Bible Names describes the number of times each
name is mentioned, the number of individuals—male or female—who had
that name, the meaning of the name, a biography of the person(s),
and the first, last, and key references, chapter-and-verse, for
further study. The Dictionary of Bible Names is perfect for
personal Bible study, Sunday school or small group preparation,
pleasure reading. . .even as a baby book!
From the Back Cover
Every Bible name—
every Bible person—
described and explained.
In many ways, the Bible is a book of
history—and history is the story of individual lives. Knowing the
people of scripture helps us to better understand the message of
scripture.
The Dictionary of Bible Names is a quick and easy reference
to the roughly two thousand names and thirty-four hundred
individuals in God’s Word. For every proper name in the Bible,
you’ll see
the total number of times the name is
mentioned
the number of men and/or women by that
name
a brief biography of each person by that
name
the first and last references for the
name
Also featuring key references for prominent
individuals, meanings of names, and the notation of those men and
women in the genealogy of Jesus, The Dictionary of Bible
Names is graphically enhanced for ease of us. It’s ideal for
Bible study—or just interesting reading!
Useless in Logos. The names (an important part of each entry in this book) are not visible on account of being written in white typeface on a white background. The names are not listed in the contents, this consisting merely of the letters of the alphabet, and there is no index.
Although the other information is interesting/useful, being the meaning of the name and a list of each man and woman with that name, a sentence about who the person was, and relevant Bible references, this information is all available elsewhere with a little effort. (A Bible search in Logos will give all references, and there are other dictionaries available in Logos with the meanings of names.)
I have requested a refund for this product owing to its lack of usability.
I rate it as no stars for a Logos resource; a print copy would be a higher rating.
