Open the door to better Bible study with The Barbour Bible Reference Companion! At 704 pages, it's big—but it's purposely designed for the average Bible student, not the expert. Featuring a dictionary, concordance, handbook, and explanations of Bible customs—with more than 200 full-color illustrations—this book is an all-in-one resource for everyday Bible study. Concise dictionary entries are combined with a select concordance of the most important verses, while a handbook of the entire Bible includes sidebars explaining the curious practices of ancient times. Maps and a complete index round out the volume.
