Average Rating: 
Rating:  - It lives up to its title
This book lives up to its title; (hints pocket dictionary) was not intended to be a textbook of biblical theology. This small book provides its readers with short answers to common theological terms. I would have to agree with one of the other reviewers, not all the words I looked-up were in this little book. However, that is clearly not the books intent.

Rating:  - Not as thorough as they make you believe...
This dictionary is definitely for the layman's theologian. For those of a somewhat firm grasp of theological terminologies, you're better off sticking with a standard merriam-webster collegiate abridgement, or a larger, deeper theological dictionary. This dictionary is probably for the novice, or beginning student of theology or philosophy. There are many terms NOT included in this dictionary that I find often in theological studies that you'd think would be included. Where's the entry for "semiotics"? ... Read More
