IVP. 1,058 pages. £29.99 (hardback)

My postman is no doubt still hobbling after delivering IVP's latest major reference work. The monumental Dictionary of Biblical Imagery is published by American IVP, but British IVP has been closely involved: Colin Duriez, UK General Books Editor, was a consulting editor, and a good number of UK names feature in the contributor list, which includes both Bible scholars and literary experts. (Disappointingly, the articles are unsigned. The reason, explain the editors, is that most articles have been worked over by many editorial hands).
