Catholic Bible Dictionary

I am very pleased with my purchase of this book. This Bible Dictionary is an excellent Catholic resource and a must have reference tool for any Catholic who is seriously studying the Bible.

The book came to us as if I had picked it up from the store myself.
And we are so pleased with the content of this book.

This is a great resource for any Catholic to have in their home. The Bible Dictionary is very easy to use and the explanations don't go over your head. I know this is something I am going to use often, especially for the many things in Scripture I don't understand. Catholic Bible Dictionary

The positive reviews of this book sold me, (the poor reviews are all for the Kindle Edition) and I'm so glad I bought this. What a gorgeous, well-written, and useful reference this is!

The book is easy to read, because the publisher used a readable font (often we are struggling with minute, 8-point font on reference books) the reference material is faithful and well-researched, and the book itself is just plain gorgeous.

This is the nicest-looking Catholic reference I have seen in a long time. Absolutely worth it! But make sure you purchase the print edition-- it sounds like the Kindle edition has some problems, (read the other reviews before you decide). Just get the print edition and I'm sure you will be very pleased, as I was.

How frustrating!!

This is an excellent Bible Dictionary for the Catholic faithful to have. The Kindle makes dictionaries so very powerful as well! I was a little frustrated by the price, but the promise of this volume made me jump in and spend the money.

I am sorry I did.

The Kindle edition of this dictionary is awful. Navigation is next to impossible, making it unwieldy. But that is only the beginning of my criticism.

Consider Easton's Bible Dictionary for Kindle (instant definition lookup while reading any Bible) (Updated) This Bible Dictionary is set up for the Kindle. Once you set it as your primary dictionary (easy with a couple of clicks of the buttons) and open up ANY Bible on the Kindle and start reading, any word in the Bible you bring your cursor to will have its entry in the Easton Bible Dictionary show up at the bottom of the Kindle's screen. Then, all you have to do is push the enter key if you want to open the Easton Bible Dictionary to its entry of that word. It is so powerful a tool for Bible study that it is just plain silly... but it isn't Catholic. I was SO excited when I saw this coming out for Kindle... by the great Scott Hahn no less! I just had to buy it. What a disappointment!

IF they are going to charge an exorbitant amount for this Catholic Bible Dictionary for Kindle (anything over 9.99 for an ebook is exorbitant... there are NO production costs!!!) then they ought to take the time to format it for Kindle correctly. Formating this book as a Kindle dictionary would have made it one of the most important publications on Kindle in a long time. Imagine combining this book (formated correctly) with the Ignatius Bible recently introduced by Ignatius Press for Kindle. You would have, instantly and at your fingertips, the entire text of the Bible with outstanding explanations of key words instantly accessible.

WHY DIDN'T THEY FORMAT THIS AS A KINDLE DICTIONARY?! It boggles the mind.

I give the content of this book 5 stars (A+). In terms of its formating I give it an F-. What a waisted opportunity. What an exorbitant price!
