Revised International Standard Bible Encyclopedia
Typically, when I hear the word ‘revised’ or ‘updated’, I think of minor changes or that some new information has been added to an existing work. However, the ISBE Revised is vastly and distinctly different from its predecessor. The award-winning Revised International Standard Bible Encyclopedia is a completely new version of the original 1915 edition. Covering over 9,000 topics in-depth, the Revised ISBE is the most comprehensive Bible dictionary available today. This exhaustive Biblical encyclopedia includes meticulously researched articles by nearly 200 authors of diverse nationality and point of view covering virtually every topic and point of interest in the Bible and Apocrypha.
Whether you are new to the study of biblical history or a seasoned Bible scholar, ISBE Revised will provide you with a greater understanding and appreciation of the culture and background of the Bible. Detailed information is included on the language and literature of the biblical world, as well as biblical culture, history and religious environments. Based on the Revised Standard Version, ISBE Revised contains cross-reference entries for forms used in the King James Version and the New English Bible, making it readily accessible to a wider range of readers.
