Looking for dictionary recommendations

I’m looking to go beyond my one volume dictionaries. Categorically , I am a total layman with a strong interest in scripture. I love long form journalism, and am looking for that in biblical articles, but I do not have any background in the languages.

I’m looking at the Anchor Yale Bible Dictionary set, the IVP Black set, or the ISBE set but I have no experience with any of them.

I’d like opinions on these if you have them. Current thoughts on prices:

  • All of them can be had for $300 together in the Reference Collection. Maybe this is the best way.
  • ISBE can be had for $85 in the Small Timeline collection along with some other resources.
  • Otherwise about $200 each.

Any others I should consider?
