I was wondering what people here thought about the Anchor Bible Dictionary?
When I first started to seriously do study into the New Testament and the Historical Jesus, I had sent Bart Ehrman an email asking for suggestions on additional reading material. He suggested Jesus and Judaism by E.P. Sanders, A Marginal Jew by John P. Meier, and the Anchor Bible Dictionary. There were other suggestions, but those are the ones that stick with me.
As of now, I have purchased all of those suggestions, except for the last 3 volumes of A Marginal Jew, primarily because I have had a hard time finding them, and when I do, I don't feel like paying the price. But I was wondering what people those of the Dictionary set.
Was it a good investment, or not?
