Summary: You Will Keep A Copy on Your Desk!
Review: I bought this book along with Elwell's other reference book "Topical Anaylsis of the Bible" and keep both of them handy on my desk for quick and easy to find biblical references for various doctrines or topics.

The best part about this book is the ability to locate important doctrines, key texts, and subjects quickly and easily. This book will save you hours of serching in systematic theology books to find the balanced teachings on the doctrine. Elwell is sound in his theology and evangelical in his covering of various teachings.

Buy this book, you will use it often!

Summary: The best theology dictionary I've seen
Review: This book was a gift from my pastor when I left for seminary. I must say that it has been great. I have compared it to others and there really is no comparison. This book is detailed, yet easy to read. It also encompasses various points of view and theological positions.

Summary: Complete & Comprehensive Entries / Scholarly and Readable
Review: This Dictionary contains all of the necessary entries that it should and even goes beyond what most others do. It is very scholarly but yet very readable. While it is the best that I have come across yet and would reccomend it to anyone that is even considering it, I am still hopeful for THE DICTIONARY and hence in that hope give Elwell a 4 star rating. If you know of THE DICTIONARY, then by all means please contact me. [e-mail]
