I bought this several years ago, and have barely used it, not because it is a bad book but because of the wealth of searchable references online, such as on crosswalk.com

If our technology infrastructure and entire civilization ever collapses, I'll be glad I have this in my library :-)

Another book that I received as a gift in 1983. It has proven to be one the most important resources I have in my library to assist with the study of God's word. Another book that every Bible student should own.

Incredibly tiny type makes this hard to read. The story behind the author is interesting.

In an age when everything is available on the internet this may not be quite as indispensable as it once was but I still find it supremely useful. It's basically a dictionary that gives you bible references instead of descriptions for all the terms. I still find this quicker than an out and out internet search. Say I want to know all the times Frogs crop up in bible verses - I thumb through to F - Frogs, and get a list of all the instances the word frogs appears - then I can either google the references or sit there thumb through my bible.

For a budding writer needing quotes this is an absolute must have. The two niggles are 1) the print is very small indeed and 2) it only offers the reference and a partial quote so you do need to then look it up, but if it had the verse in full you'd be looking at a book 10 times the size with even smaller print!

This along with the Oxford Companion to the Bible saw me through my dissertation and remain among the most thumbed of my reference books
