Theological Dictionary of the Old Testament, Volume XVII

PRAISE FOR THE THEOLOGICAL DICTIONARY OF THE OLD TESTAMENT

“A tool that no Bible student can afford to ignore; it takes its place alongside Kittel as a classic reference work.” – Christianity Today

“This is the standard reference tool in OT studies for in-depth word studies, and it undoubtedly will remain so for decades. It is well conceived and well executed in the main… . For its scope, depth and erudition, TDOT remains indispensable for any in-depth study of Hebrew words and word fields.” – Journal of the Evangelical Theological Society

“An excellent instrument of work for professors, pastors, preachers, and students. There is nothing currently available that gives the non-technical reader valuable insights into the meanings of such words of the Hebrew Bible such as this dictionary.” – Catholic Library World

“This dictionary is highly recommended for academic libraries in institutions dealing with Biblical Studies, Judaism, Christianity, and Comparative Religion.” – Association of Jewish Libraries Newsletter

“Highly recommended for all libraries in religion, theology, and biblical studies.” – Religious Studies Review

“Once in a great while a Bible study resource comes along that meets genuine need but also sets the standard by the breadth of its scholarship. This is such a volume in such a set… . At last, an expensive book which is well worth the price.” – Southwestern Journal of Theology

“An invaluable series.” – The Bible Today

“An important and interesting scholastic tool, essential for any library that serves serious Bible students, theological scholars, church-school teachers, pastors, or interested laypeople.” – Choice

“Students of the Bible have cause for rejoicing as each volume of this scholarly work appears… . This ‘theological dictionary’ focuses on the etymology of Hebrew terms, then explores their cultural and historical contexts, finally suggesting their importance in a theological framework without espousing a particular denominational bias.” – American Reference Books Annual

“The Theological Dictionary of the Old Testament is a monumental contribution to the study of the Old Testament, and very highly recommended. No library can afford to be without it.” – Hebrew Studies
