Children's Atlas of the Bible: A Photographic Account of the Journeys in the Bible from Abraham to St. Paul
Published in Hardcover by Barrons Juveniles (November, 1997)
Authors: Henry Wansbrough and Tony May
Amazon base price: $9.95
Used price: $13.47
Average review score:

Great resource for children, adults, and teachers
This photographic atlas is simple to read, yet detailed enough to provide a good geographic overview of the entire timeline in the Bible. Text is well-written, and maps are clear and comprehensive. It is great for children, but also provides a two-page historical summary and map for each event that is a perfect overview for adults and teachers as well. This would be a valuable reference resource for any church library


Commentary on Revelation: The Greek Text (Kregel Reprint Library)

Average review score:

The Apocalypse of John
This commentary on the Apocalypse of John is amazing. Swete wields a knowledge of the Koine Greek in a manner rarely seen in modern academia. He does take an Amillinial approach, but biblical scholars from all hermeneutical backgrounds will find this book an invaluable primary resource in their research of this perplexing chapter in the Bible.


Commentary on the Holy Bible
Published in Hardcover by Thomas Nelson (September, 1979)
Author: Matthew Henry

Average review score:

As close to God's heart as is available in the 21st Century
The Bible speaks clearly that as the timeline progresses & the time of The Lord's return nears, the world will move farther away from God, attenuating everything pertaining to Godliness. Few Bible teachers, Theologians or Seminaries remain today that deal with the core of what is GOD. One must back up to a time not polluted by commercialism to get to the uncompromising truth of the Bible. Matthew Henry's Commentary cuts through to shine this light, a light so dim in the world today. For the serious Bible student. Warning, it may change your life (metamorphosed)!

Matthew Henry's insights are nothing short of stunning!
I've graduated from Bible college and Seminary. I've read the Bible for 24 years. I have never read anything that amazes and even thrills me as much as the insights of Matthew Henry!

Excellent
An excellent yet concise series of commentaries. The author excels at clearly showing Christ in the passages but does not draw conclusions that are not clearly shown in the bible text.


A Concordance to the Septuagint: And the Other Greek Versions of the Old Testament (Including the Apocryphalbooks)
Published in Hardcover by Baker Book House (April, 1998)
Authors: Edwin Hatch and Henry A. Redpath
Amazon base price: $125.00
Average review score:

A thick, but helpful tool
This is a thick book, both physically in its size, and in the material it contains. It lists every Greek word in the Septuagint (canonical and apocryphal), followed by the Hebrew words corresponding to the Greek ones, and then every book and verse the word appears in, and the context of each verse! Appendix One has all the Greek proper names. Appendix two gives a complete concordance of the Greek Ecclesiasticus when compared to the Hebrew fragments. Appendix three gives a concordance of the Hexapleric fragments that scholars possess. Appendix four is a newer part (from 1998), and lists Hebrew and Aramaic words and their LXX equivalent. As can be seen, this is one large book (1860 pages). This edition also contains a good introduction, which was added in 1998. The original edition came out in the late 1800s/early 1900s.

The only drawback would be that the English translation of each Greek word is not given. So in other words, to fully appreciate this you would need to know Greek, or else have a good Lexicon handy. Since most folks using this would probably be scholars, or know Greek, this shouldn't be a problem. Overall, a fine and massive work!

"Chief Cornerstone to the Christian Library"
This comprehensive one of a kind dictionary covers the span of six centuries, and penetrates into the marrow of the priciple influences of Christianity; whether they be pope or caesar, christian or pagan, orthodox or heretic this impressive volume handles nearly every detail necessary to impart an image of the individual and the indelible impact they made upon the pervasive expanse of Christian history. The facts are straight-foward, and bias is placed only when the information is in need of discretion, not distortion...highly recommended.

The pivot on which the Bible turns
To properly understand the Bible in terms of exposition and interpretation, you must understand Matthew, the Book of the King. This commentary is the finest exposition of Matthew available, and with it, you can put together the pieces of Biblical prophecy and exposition. Dr. Ironside was a great man and a wonderful expositer. More men should be like him.-Kelly Whiting


The First Father Abraham
Published in Hardcover by University Press of America (22 December, 1993)
Author: Henry Hanoch Abramovitch
Amazon base price: $49.50
Used price: $7.46
Collectible price: $42.35
Average review score:

Fascinating
Henry Abramovitch combines the study of religion with his knowledge of psychology to explore the biblical personages of the hebrew patriarchs. In this in-depth exploration we can see Abraham in an exciting and new light.

Abramovitch is a dedicated educator of medical students. He struggles to teach scientists how to be caring and human in the face of despair. This work is the true synthesis of his love for Judaism and psychology. If you like Joseph Campbell's writings on myths, you will appreciate this work.
