The A To Z Guide To Bible Signs & Symbols – Book Review
When you read the Bible, have you ever noticed how certain signs and symbols are used throughout and wondered what significance they had to their original audience?
Have you wanted to delve deeper into the meaning of certain biblical concepts than the footnotes in your Bible allow but weren’t sure where to turn for accurate information?
If so, then The A To Z Guide To Bible Signs & Symbols – Understanding Their Meaning And Significance by Neil Wilson and Nancy Ryken Taylor will be a welcome addition to your biblical reference bookshelf!
The A To Z Guide To Bible Signs & Symbols provides readers with explanations to over 100 key signs and symbols found in Scripture. The entries are alphabetized like a dictionary and printed on glossy paper with two-page entries that include color photos and illustrations, contextualized background information and key Bible verses, and interesting quotes from well-known Christian leaders.
The study of symbolism has always fascinated me, and I found this book particularly suited for those new to the field. The book’s Introduction is invaluable. Here, you’ll find information on the differences between signs and symbols – the rules for interpreting signs and symbols – and Bible signs and symbols today and in prophecy.
What I like most about The A To Z Guide To Bible Signs & Symbols is that, no matter how much you know about Scripture, there is bound to be something new that you learn from reading this book! What I’d like to see in future editions is an expanded version of this book containing additional signs and symbols!
I highly recommend this book to you and rate it 5 out of 5 stars.
