If you\u2019re the kind of nerd who likes flipping open a dictionary and reading random entries\u2014or if you\u2019re just a Bible Study Nerd who needs random access to biblical information\u2014then you\u2019re going to like the Thomas Nelson \u201cA to Z\u201d reference book, All the Names of the Bible<\/em>. Here\u2019s a book with no pretense or hype. It\u2019s just a no-frills list of every name that appears in Scripture, along with short, surprisingly readable background information about each one.<\/p>\n

This is NOT a book for casual reading. In fact, not even the publisher expects you to read it cover to cover. What this book is, rather, is a supplement to your personal Bible reading, teaching, and study. Here\u2019s what you\u2019ll find in here:<\/p>\n

\u2022 A complete, alphabetical list of every person, town, city, nation, river, and mountain mentioned in the Bible (Old and New Testaments).<\/p>\n

\u2022 A pronunciation guide for each name.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Definitions, or meanings based on Greek or Hebrew sources, associated with each name in the Bible.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Helpful background information that places each name in historical, geographical, and cultural context.<\/p>\n

\u2022 A list of all the Scripture references where each name is found.<\/p>\n

So, yeah, this isn\u2019t a storybook or narrative or even a Bible study book. It\u2019s a collection of relevant facts about names recorded in Scripture\u2014a reference book in the most literal sense. As such, it\u2019s remarkably helpful for anyone seeking a quick summary on Neapolis (a seaport city in Philippi), or Herodias (granddaughter of Herod the Great) or Lydians (soldiers who fought at the Battle of Carchemish) or any of a few thousand other biblical topics.<\/p>\n

Best of all, this is one book that really is everything its title claims: All the Names of the Bible<\/em>. It\u2019s a fine addition to any Bible resource shelf in your office or home.<\/p>\n

\"All<\/a><\/p>\n

He's a former youth pastor who shepherded kids on staff at Chuck Swindoll's church in Southern California\u2014and he's a bestselling and award-winning author with more than a million copies of his books sold worldwide. Plus, he holds a degree in Christian Education with an emphasis in Bible Theology. So, you know, he\u2019s got that going for him. Mike is also a pop culture dork who watches too much TV, reads too many comic books, utters too many bad words, laughs at all the wrong jokes, and often gets in trouble because he says whatever he happens to be thinking at the moment\u2014like quoting an R-rated movie in the middle of a sermon. Yeah, he\u2019s a mess (just like you!), but he kind of likes it that way. Most of all, Mike Nappa loves Jesus, and he figures that covers over a multitude of sins.
