Over the past few weeks I have been thumbing through IVP's most recent "Black Dictionary," their Dictionary of the Old Testament: Wisdom, Poetry & Writings. I have prepared a brief review that will be posted tomorrow at SharperIron. Instead of cross-posting this review here, I would like to ask you to visit ShaperIron in order to read it. The reason for this is that I will be giving away a brand new copy of this dictionary, and instructions on how to participate in the drawing will be offered at the end of that post.Longman, Tremper and Peter Enns, eds.

Thought you'd like to know that there is a little glitch in your link. It tries to link to blogger.com/sharperiron.com.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Ben!!! Got if fixed.
ReplyDeleteHi Jason, I am not sure how to send you a message on the black dictionary set. I only own the volume on new testament background and I have found it useful for answering apologetic questions. My main criticism of the volumes is they cost too much. I would like to enter for the free give away.
