 Worst Purchase! September 6, 2007

I had to return this book. It is outdated compared to the other bible dictionaries out there. I wouldn't waste my time purchasing this book. It doesn't contain much information. I wouldn't want this dictionary if it was given to me free. A regular dictionary may be better than this one.
 Useful, but a little bit outdated. July 11, 2007

The Smith Bible dictionary was very good for its time and covers many topics that have been expounded upon by subsequent dictionaries. The drawings are great, but not in color. The Dead Sea Scrolls were yet undiscovered at the time it was written and much else besides. There are other dictionaries that are more updated and has expounded on the articles found here. Regardless, this is a good resource. This book was written near the end of the 19th Century. One thing that is different about this book and makes it worth having, besides the unique drawings, is that the meaning of each word entry is given. This is very convenient and helpful.

My boyfriend and I both have other Bible dictionaries and sources for the misc. questions that invariably come up during group study. We have both found that Smith's offers information that is lacking in other sources. It's thorough, easy to understand and an invaluable source of Biblical information. I purchased our copies after receiving a recommendation from a church elder and will never regret the purchase!
A VERY GOOD PLACE TO START April 3, 2007

For quick reference, and accurate dating of Biblical events, start here. Not as detailed as some other works, but will usually help one find what you're looking for fast. Trusted by most Christian groups for years. Classic addition to the christian library.

This book was not at all what I had hoped it would be. It does not contain all relevant biblical words that I need for my study.
