Good book, good guy.<br /><br />And (interesting fact) I think you'll find that the 193x ISBE <i>is not</i> the original, which was actually printed in the 'teens. So the '95 would be at least a revision of a revision of a revision.<br /><br />(c:DJPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16471042180904855578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21212024.post-22827935708898378262010-07-09T01:09:44.844-07:002010-07-09T01:09:44.844-07:00Dan,

I would like to get my hands on my dad's set; I think they're just boxed up somewhere. My grandparents gave the set to him when he was ordained (Conservative Baptist) back in the 70's. I would be interested in seeing what they've done to it in the 1995 revision. I just like "old school" stuff (not that its always better, but there is something about that era of Christianity that I miss and we are unfortunately losing). <br /><br />I like Merrill C. Tenney's <em>New Testament Survey</em> as well. What I thought was cool, was that my dad was assigned that book when he went to Bible College; and when I went to Multnomah one of my profs (he was old school too) assigned Tenney's Revised version (by Walter M. Dunnett) for our NT survey class.

I still have that as well; <i>goodness</i>, but they knew how to <i>lay out pages</i> and <i>set type</i> in those days!<br /><br />I think the 197X ISBE is very good. I see it was... done up in some way in 1995. I wonder how much of a revision that was, if any?DJPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16471042180904855578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21212024.post-52649410422732684072010-07-08T17:28:06.193-07:002010-07-08T17:28:06.193-07:00I still like ISBE; my Dad had the set when I was a...I still like <em>ISBE</em>; my Dad had the set when I was a kid, and every now and then I would check it out. I came to appreciate it even more as I got older. Never experienced the ZPEB, and it sounds like I'll probably just continue to enjoy ISBE given your assessment of the ZEB.Bobby Growhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06831009618873548948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21212024.post-72878631653599535372010-07-08T16:44:30.958-07:002010-07-08T16:44:30.958-07:00This is a very entertaining review.
