The Eerdmans Companion to the Bible Hardcover – October 4, 2011

My husband expected it to be more exposition. He still recommends.

Although this is a great guide, I love my older one better, at least that has color photos. This is still a great guide, but it's to bland now. Should have kept the color photos.

A friend was missing a copy of the pre book that she had lost, so when I discovered that they had updated it, i thought it would make the perfect gift. I was correct. The maps and photos of the holy land are exquisite, just like the one we remember. The commentary remains true and is an excellent companion to your Bible studies. A Great price, as well.

I was very surprised by this book. It has so much information and is easy to read. It makes sense of the time, place, cultures, and dates of written works in the bible. It answered questions I had for a long time about the bible and many questions I didn't know I had. It's a must have for anyone with any interest in historical text.

Great resource added to my reading library.

Not what I expected or wanted, doesn't go into enough detail. To heavy and hard to take with me for the amount of detail it does provide. I had an online commentary of the whole bible for FREE recommended to me that I REALLY REALLY REALLY like! This commentary goes into a TON of detail. Check it out at [...] and then click study notes

Just what I wanted.

This book is really great for historical background in the bible, alternative perspectives, and other interesting topics related to bible interpretation. It's very interesting.

Anything that comes out of the Eerdman's stable is worth its weight in gold; this is a brief look into the whole Bible - but with a deal of knowledge and understanding that belie what appears to be the small size of the book to its greater source.

Trustworthy on the whole
