"Even in the day of the Net, this is still a handy book to have if you want to go beyond your Biblical studies, find a reference you don't understand, or simply quickly settle an argument."
"so far, medium whoa, the folding of legends gilgamesh into old testament noah floods and the cascading of other conceptual battles into this non-singular form is decidedly ill but riveting"
"Who the heck am I as trans-amateur of Christian theology to criticize anything by the mighty Bruce Metzger (co-editor)? I just kept finding myself disagreeing over and over with the contributors to this anthology. On all of the essential, core doctrines to the faith all of the entries were from the far left, liberal side of the spectrum. On occasion there would be a short reference to a traditional view but not often. I kept reading the entries outloud to my wife and talking them over with her...mostly laughing because of how biased this volume was. I just recently gave it to the Goodwill because I wasn't getting anything of value out of it except a largely one-sided view. I don't mind if something is one-sided, but in a large text like this from something like an Oxford press, I expected a more balanced approach."
"This is an excellent and exhaustive reference. There have been a few times, though, where what I was looking for either wasn't referenced or was too short. Of course, who wants a five thousand page companion?"
