Dictionary of Biblical Tradition in English Literature

This book is surprisingly fun to read more as a book than a reference tool. The range of literature cited is broad, including both well known and little known works. As a reference tool, however, I found the entries of varying quality, with some entries more developed and others less so. Too often, I wished it were more comprehensive when I was searching a particular topic. The organization within the entries is sound, and is an excellent model for examining the stream of ideas through time. Multiple bibliographies are contained at the end, for those wishing for literary sources about the Bible from a literary point of view.
