The 1800 pages of this reference work cover, in more than 2100 articles, in addition to the main biblical themes, the books and characters of the Bible, fields as varied as archaeology, the arts, architecture, techniques of biblical times, the history of the Bible and its interpretation, as well as the civilizations of the ancient Near East and Egypt.
The articles, which integrate the results of recent research, are the fruit of the work of an international team. A number of professors from French-speaking theological educational institutions contributed to the writing of approximately a third of the whole.
70 maps, 40 plans, diagrams and illustrations, 60 genealogical or summary tables enhance and complete the information contained in the articles.
An index facilitates the search for the main subjects and people covered in the different articles and lists the elements of the animal, plant and mineral worlds which have been grouped under certain entries.
