Monergism has the book mentioned in the thread title. Has anyone a copy? How's it look? I'm very interested, but am curious how the text looks, and what a typical entry in the dictionary looks like. The standard blurb for this book isn't terribly enlightening, but I'm thinking just about anything by Brown (of Haddington) is worthwhile...

I mentioned it here a couple of weeks ago. I have ordered a copy. Will be glad to share my thoughts after it arrives and I can peruse it.

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!
