An incredible resource; not even remotely matched in its breadth by any other existing lexicon. Very reliable, with one caveat: Do not follow every single proposed Scriptural reference attached to a definition. These are mainly suggestions, and often right, but they are not theologically superb judgments.
I USE THIS BOOK TO FIND RACIAL SLURS TO UNLEASH UPON THE TEN YEAR OLDS ON FORTNITE!!!! IT MAKES THEM CRY AND KILL THEMSELVES LOOK AT ME I'M SO EPIC AND COOL MAKING TEN YEAR OLDS KILL THEMSELVES I'M SUCH A BADASS!!!!!!!!!
This book is without equal. My quibble with it are the typeface; it can be difficult to follow the flow of sub definitions. The prevalence of abbreviations makes it difficult to read entries unless one is quite familiar with them. I find they hinder the reading experience more than I appreciate the space they save.
