This book made me want to cry all throughout my Biblical studies classes. That aside, once I learned where all of the information I needed was located it was fairly easy to use.

Appreciated update to the 1st ed. Simplifies many of the complexities and adds new abbreviations.

Well-structured, thorough resource for the biblical disciplines. It frequently answers my questions concerning references and citations that Turabian leaves unanswered.
