IVP. xxvi + 1174 pages. £32.99
ISBN 1 84474 028 5
This is a one-volume compilation based on four of InterVarsity Press’s large dictionaries: Dictionary of Jesus and the Gospels (1992), Dictionary of Paul and His Letters (1993), Dictionary of the Later New Testament and Its Developments (1997) and Dictionary of New Testament Background (2000).
To achieve the reduction in size, entries have been restricted to the ‘essential articles’ from the previous dictionaries, usually with little change or abbreviation. ‘The selection of articles in this volume has been made with students and the classroom in mind, though it is expected that others who have not collected the series — including those engaged in ministry — will find it a valuable addition to their libraries’ (Preface, p.ix).
