At the same time, for those more seasoned in the Scriptures, the endnotes, bibliography, introduction, and appendices offer ample material for further study. <br /> <br /> Unique Features of this book <br /> <br /> More than 1200 Bible verses <br /> Topical arrangement <br /> Expanded definitions <br /> Research from various disciplines, spanning several generations <br /> Examples from popular culture <br /> Examples from the Scriptures <br /> Annotated bibliography <br /> Scripture Index <br /> Original essays <br /> Q and As <br /> <br /> I found the book to be an easy-to-understand presentation of many of the figures of speech frequently used in the Bible.
