These 5 volume encyclopedias have came in handy with my college research papers and every day use. They are thorough and give a broad range of information. Full of colored pictures and maps to help understand the text better. I am thankful and blessed to have these reference tools to add to my library.

It is a good addition to your Bible studies info library. Very well put together.
However, IMO it should only be used as a supplement, and not to replace regular Bible reading.

My wife gave me this set as a Christmas gift. I've only looked up a few articles. The color pictures and color maps a very nicely done. The print is easy to read. I have a feeling these books will become well worn.

I have had this encyclopedia for a few weeks. It has helped me with my Sunday School lessons. (I teach an adult SS class - 70, 80, 90 years old.) It has helped but I have to say I was expecting more and bigger pictures and maps (which I could show the class). However, it has so far included everything I have looked up for research. Because I got it at such a good price, I'm not sorry at all that I got it.

The study of Christianity can be challenging and the Zondervan Encyclopedia of the Bible is a rich resource for virtually every aspect of my study. I highly recommend this five volume set to anyone looking for resource information in the study of theology.

This is an excellent update to the Zondervan Pictorial Encyclopedia of the Bible. The font size and line spacing has been improved to allow for easier reading. The addition of full color photos is great. The articles are very complete (compared to a Bible dictionary).The used of the NIV as the main translation is also a great improvement. The set now fits nicely along side the Zondervan Illustrated Bible Commentary Set (OT and NT), anc several other Zondervan Bible reference works that are also NIV. The actual paper used is a little thin, so care must be used when handling, but the trade-off is individual books that are easier to handle than the old set. Overall, this set is worth the investment as a Bible study tool that you will use for years.

It looks like Zondervan has done it again with another magnus opus of scholarly work. From the initial insight, the work shows a high qualitative aspect of scholastic acumen from the who's who in evangelical theology. I would now have to make room on my shelf along side the old One that I possess to accommodate this work. This would be an ideal buy for teachers, student seminarians and pastors and lay elders alike Looking forward to my copy.
