ISBN: 978-0-8276-0863-4 New Bible Encyclopedia Catalogues 3,000 Characters from A to Z Who's Who in the Jewish Bible is much more than a standard reference book. From Aaron to Zurishaddai, this unique volume tells the stories of each of the 3,000 people mentioned in the Jewish Bible. Whether famous or not so famous, every character is here: patriarchs and prophets, warriors and peace-makers, kings and queens, holy men and sinners, heroes and villains. As the most comprehensive source on the subject, this book is a fascinating, informative, and indispensable tool for general readers and scholars, students and educators alike. With biographical entries arranged in a convenient A to Z format, Whos Who in the Jewish Bible details each characters life as a single, continuous story, in many cases drawing together information that is scattered over large stretches of biblical text. Entries are ordered and numbered according to the persons first appearance in the Bible and accompany commentary on the origin and meaning of the characters name as well as estimated dates when he/she lived. All entries correspond to the Jewish Publication Societys acclaimed translation. Unlike other biblical anthologies, Whos Who in the Jewish Bible stands alone in using only the Bible as its basis without extra-biblical stories, theological interpretations, or other secondary source additions. Flip through its pages for a quick reference check or read it straight through, and discover the fascinating stories of men and women whose lives, teachings, and sayings continue to influence and impact our lives.
