NCLA Review - Richard Losch, retired rector of St. James Episcopal Church in Alabama, delivers a comprehensive work on all the persons of the Bible as well as the Apocrypha. Since much has been written on well known individuals such as Abraham, Moses and Jesus, etc., the author focuses on some of the less familiar aspects of their lives, or their effect on history and the faith with well-written and informative articles. The second part of the book is an alphabetical index of every person named in the Bible with pronunciations, brief identifications and biblical references. This is a great reference tool for all pastors, seminarians and church libraries. A "must" purchase, especially if you do not have other classic reference books such as Harper's Bible Dictionary, Oxford Guide to People & Places of the Bible or Eerdman's Dictionary of the Bible.

"More than any other book, the Bible offers an amazing collection of fascinating characters ranging from the holiest of the holy to some of the most depraved scoundrels imaginable. Many are mentioned only in passing, yet history and archaeology can often fill in the blanks and flesh them out as exciting human beings. For this reason we have in many cases been able to tell much more about them than the Bible alone reveals." -- Richard R. Losch (from the preface) A comprehensive gathering of persons found in the Bible, including the Apocrypha, All the People in the Bible really delivers on its title: literally all of the Bible's characters appear in this fascinating reference work. From the first article on Aaron to the final entry on Zophar, Richard Losch details each person in a lively narrative style. The bulk of the book consists of Losch's A-Z articles covering the familiar and the not-so-familiar figures in Scripture. Names of people who are found only in genealogies or who had no significant effect on history are included solely in the alphabetical listing starting on page 452. That listing, "All the People in the Bible and Apocrypha," includes pronunciations, brief identifications, and biblical references. Persons covered in greater detail in the main part of the book are identified in bold print. Losch's intriguing look at all the people in the Bible is anything but a dry reference work. This is a book to dip into and enjoy over and over. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
