Summary: An Excellent Reference with Great Pictures
Review: From Aaron to Zophar, "Who's Who in the Bible" is an excellent bible resource. It's encyclopedic entries are clear and to the point, without feeling dumbed down. The many illustrations - some of which are spectacular full-page, life-like paintings - really help to bring to characters to life and elevate this from being just dry text - even kids will enjoy this. All entries appear in bold throughout so you can easily cross-reference. In the back there is an alphabetical listing of everyone in the Old and New Testament as well as the Apocrypha; plus an index.

In all, an excellent job by Readers Digest. Highly recommended!

Summary: Excellent Resource!
Review: I'm a divinity student at an Ivy League school. "Who's Who in the Bible" is AWESOME. The bios and content are presented in a flowing, story format. There are lots of pictures and visuals to picture the people and see how they have been portrayed in the art. There's also a comprehensive listing of all of the people in the Bible, which is really helpful.

This book is great for div students, but an excellent resource for churches, families, and others!

Summary: Supplement with The Complete Guide to the Book of Proverbs.
Review: Who's Who in the Bible is a great reference resource with lots of color illustrations and photos. The commentary shows how to pronounce the people's names and tells what their names meant. Related names are in bold for cross-referencing. Although written in 1994 it quotes the older Revised Standard Version (1952) instead of the New Revised Standard Version(1990). If you enjoy this book you may also like THE COMPLETE GUIDE TO THE BOOK OF PROVERBS by Cody Jones. Numerous biblical characters are pointed out who illustrate King Solomon's witty observations on human nature.
