Synopsis

Who was Izri, Rinnah, Heli Are Mica, Micah, Micaiah, and Michaiah the same person or four different people Where is the story of the scheming villain Haman found What is meant by "she's a real Jezebel" or "he's a doubting Thomas" Clearly identified in these pages are nearly 3,000 individuals--absolutely every man, woman, and child, important or obscure--named in the Bible. In cases of multiple spelling, the names are carefully cross-referenced. When more than one person bears a particular name--there are 25 Azariahs, for example, and 30 Zechariahs--each is clearly identified and distinguished from the others. Scripture references are given for each name, along with a brief resume of all that is known concerning the person--genealogy, significant accomplishments, or historical facts. The information is accurate; the descriptions concise; and the style readable and fascinating. An ideal book for Bible teachers and scholars, for the lay person who is often confronted with literary references to Biblical personalities, for whom accuracy is paramount--a dependable, complete who's who in the Bible.
