If I had to choose
If the Lord told me he was going to put me on a remote island and I had the choice of one bible and one other book, this would be it hands down. I have looked through several bible dictionary's and none of them are as simple to read or more importantly as thorough as this one. He constantly uses OT & NT applications both where available, for every word as well as any Hebrew or Greek words and definitions. He also demonstrates any applications to the Christian faith as evident in his definitions for the words grace and law.More simply put if money were no object I would buy a whole case to give away as gifts and every true Christian should have one of these on their shelves.
