Now that I've had an opportunity to look over the 2007 edition of
Brown's Dictionary of Bible Characters and compare it with his
Dictionary of the Holy Bible, I am very pleased with the modern extract.
The modern edition is very easy to read. Modern scripture reference notations are used in lieu of roman numerals, for example. I detected occasional editorial changes which appear minor and may be the result of critical review. A list of authors quoted by Brown is included, along with Geoffrey Stonier's introduction and John Brown Patterson's biographical sketch of his grandfather.
This is highly recommended!
