Synopsis

This book is a Bible reference book intended to help people who need to find their way through biblical themes quickly and efficiently. The book works like the traditional thesaurus, grouping Bible verses (given in part or in full) under headings and sub-headings.

The result is similar to a Bible concordance, but references are grouped on the basis of meaning rather than in alphabetical order, and independently of the way they are rendered in any particular translation of the Bible.

About this title

Review:

‘Most preachers have long valued the concordance, but now we have a quite new and much more powerful tool. In this truly innovative work sermon ideas leap out from every page.’
Dr Peter Cotterell, former principal of London Bible College

‘A valuable innovation to help understand the meaning of the Bible, this thesaurus brings together concepts from across the Scriptures to stimulate new insights and understanding.’
The Rev David Jackman, The Proclamation Trust

From the Back Cover:

A. Colin Day’s Thesaurus collects together 43,751 biblical references under almost 1,000 categories. The result is a reference tool which is more flexible than the traditional Bible concordance, as words and topics are grouped together under their meaning rather than simply being listed in alphabetical order of their occurrence in the Bible. The versatility of this approach means that the Thesaurus can be used with any Bible translation. An extensive index of Bible verses and a subject index are also provided.

This essential resource should be on the bookshelves of all those involved in teaching and studying the Bible.

A. Colin Day has a science degree from Cambridge University and a doctorate in Linguistics from London University. He worked in India, Nepal and Vietnam with the Wycliffe Bible Translators, and was a senior computer programmer for the Computer Centre of University College London.

“A sheer wealth of reference... this is a sterling investment for the diligent Bible student.”
THE TIMES EDUCATIONAL SUPPLEMENT

“An important contribution to its field.”
LIFE AND WORK

“The preacher or speaker will find it well worth the money.”
