IVP dictionaries - Which order to purchase?

Matt Leonard

Hey,

I'm thinking of investing in some of the IVP dictionaries and wondered if you could give some advice on what order to purchases them.

I know this is a hard question and will vary from person to person, BUT...

If you had to by only 1 or 2 NT and OL books, which are the must haves.

• Dictionary of the Old Testament Historical Books
• Dictionary of the Old Testament Pentateuch
• Dictionary of the Old Testament Prophets
• Dictionary of the Old Testament Wisdom, Poetry, and Writings

• Dictionary of Jesus and the Gospels
• Dictionary of New Testament Background
• Dictionary of Paul and His Letters
• Dictionary of the Later New Testament and Its Developments

Many thanks in advance,

Matt

This is like asking me to choose between my children! Honestly, I don't think any of them are head and shoulders above the rest. It is just where your focus is.
