Product Description:
More than a generation has passed since the appearance of the last major Catholic Bible dictionary. It has been a fertile generation forbiblical scholarship, an eventful time for biblical archaeology, and afruitful time for the Churchs interpretation of the Bible. Scott Hahn, internationally renownedtheologian and biblical scholar, has inspired millions with his insightinto the Catholic faith. Now he brings us this important referenceguide, written specifically for Catholics, which contains more thanfive thousand clear and accessible entries and covers a wide range ofpeople, places, and topics. From Genesis to Revelation, the whole of salvation history is presented and explained in smart, easy-to-understand prose. Catholic Bible Dictionary isan invaluable source of information, insight, and guidance forCatholics and others who are interested in enriching theirunderstanding of Sacred Scripture. Scott Hahn draws from two millenniaof scholarship to create an accessible and comprehensive tool fordeeper and more rewarding biblical study.

- Necessary to Bible Study
When you are studying the Bible, either alone or in a group, this is a very necessary item to have along side. I have found it very helpful.

- Everything you wanted to know about the Bible but didn't know who or where to ask!
The Catholic Bible Dictionary is another outstanding work of Dr. Scott Hahn. It addresses all of the questions -- and then some -- that an inquiring Bible reader would ask as they were reading the Bible. Catholic or not -- this is the serious source of answers to questions Bible scholars may have.

- Scott Hahn's "Catholic Bible Dictionary"
I have three gems in my little library: Josh McDowell's "The New Evidence That Demands a Verdict", Wayne Grudem's "Systematic Theology" and Scott Hahn's "Catholic Bible Dictionary". You may notice the eclectic approach...

In my quest to deepen my knowledge about my Christian faith, I realised that I needed an authoritative resource to answer questions that might arise out of my study of biblical Scripture. It is, of course, easy to conduct an internet search to obtain answers, but I needed something that, at least in my view, had authority, authenticity and integrity. When I came across Scott Hahn's "Catholic Bible", I ordered it sight unseen - simply because I have full trust in Scott Hahn's works.

Quite unashamedly I like to sing Scott Hahn's praises as a theologian of note and I quote his background, using Wikipedia as source, to emphasise his standing as a leading academic, scholar and Christian:

Hahn received his B.A. in 1979 from Grove City College in Pennsylvania with a triple major of theology, philosophy, and economics (magna cum laude). He obtained his M.Div. (summa cum laude) from Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary in 1982. In May 1995, he was awarded a Ph.D. in systematic theology from Marquette University (Phi Beta Kappa)... Hahn (also) founded and is currently the President of the St. Paul Center for Biblical Theology, a Christian research center and think tank committed to the promotion of biblical literacy...

The Catholic Bible Dictionary is a highly readable guide with more than 5000 entries, including - to name a few - every book in the Bible, every significant person, language and imagery of the Bible, civilizations of influence at the time (Egypt, Rome, Babylon, Greece etc), maps, teachings, doctrines - the heart delights at this treasure trove for anyone interested in enriching their understanding of Sacred Scripture. I would not normally consider a dictionary bedside reading; with Scott Hahn's "Catholic Bible Dictionary" I'll make an exception!

- Invaluablel resource!
Wonderful resource that provides instant information with the definitions. Also, I find myself reading the Dictionary as it is that interesting. We keep ours with our Bibles.

- Everyone who reads the Bible should have this Dictionary
I just received my copy of the Catholic Bible Dictionary recently. I am a 52 yr old lapsed Catholic, who has been drawn closer to my faith from readings of the Bible, Saints, Apostles, etc.. This Dictionary, regardless of your individual faith, will open those books of the Bible that have been somewhat difficult to understand at times.
Some entries are about 3 sentences long; while others have, in the most incredible detail, pages of information about Christ as the Messiah, Apostles' Letters, Psalms, and so much more than I can list. The Catholic Bible Dictionary will lenthen the time of Bible Study, but with such joy! I can now read The Bible with greater understanding, clarity, and conviction than I ever have before. I believe all who purchase this product will be amazed at the amount of information gathered, marvel at their ability to follow the maps at the rear of the book, and find that each is richer for their understanding. I also believe that each will actually read with even more joy, The Holy Bible; find themselves reading for longer periods of time without realizing the amount of time that has gone by- SIMPLY BECAUSE THERE IS SO MUCH MORE THAT IS ABLE TO BE UNDERSTOOD!
The Catholic Bible Dictionary is the gift among gifts to be given to all. Confirmation, Marriage, Christmas...all would be the perfect time to give the Catholic Bible Dictionary to friends, family, or neighbors. Buy one for your local Parish. To have one available in the Parish Library for all to see will turn into a reason to buy one for ones' self and others. What better gift than to open the mysteries and beauty of God's word?
