Book Description

An essential resource for Bible study Comprehensive, easy to use, ingeniously devised, this one-of-a-kind reference makes it easy for anyone--families, students, researchers, and writers--to access the riches of the Bible. Roget's Thesaurus of the Bible uses Roget--s fundamental and brilliant category concept, which groups together all related subjects--similar and opposite--for quick and easy comparisons. Because the book is organized around concepts rather than specific words, it can be used with any version or translation of the Bible. More versatile and useful than any concordance, this innovative reference allows you to research by subject to find relevant Bible passages and by passage to find the appropriate category. You can also make fascinating discoveries simply by browsing through the book. Roget's Thesaurus of the Bible features: nearly one thousand main-subject categories--from good and evil to change and permanence-- each broken down into easily accessed subcategories; more than forty-three thousand chapter-and-verse Bible references, drawn from popular English translations and sorted by category; and a complete category listing and a comprehensive Bible index that matches Bible verses to subject categories. Over ten years in the making, Roget's Thesaurus of the Bible reflects a revolutionary concept in reference books. It is an essential resource for every home and library. "Destined to become a standard in its field . . . highly recommended." --Library Journal
