All Things In The Bible

These volumes offer a wealth of fascinating information on such aspects of everyday life. Things comprises objects, but also groups, events, animals, titles, and concepts, targeted to a lay audience. Tischler avoids controversy, for example describing two creation stories without mentioning their likely disparate origins. There are a few problems, such as unsupportable assertions (Jesus …had a commanding presence, but dressed simply in peasant garb), and minor issues with the index and see also references. Gothic script headers are difficult to read. However, black-and-white line drawings are helpful. Bible sources are given for each entry, and Bible references are in the text, with cross-references in bold. A further-reading list follows most entries, and a selected bibliography and an index appear in volume two. An impressive assemblage of data for research papers.
