Reviews

«This compendium of Bible similes follows John Ziolkowski’s similar study of Plato’s Dialogues and Homer’s Iliad and Odyssey. Based on the translation of the King James Version it includes comparisons with Greek and Latin as well. Such linguistic work is essential for laying the ground for further hermeneutical investigation.» (Dianne Bergant, Professor Emerita of Biblical Studies at Catholic Theological Union in Chicago, Il) «John E. Ziolkowski has undertaken the monumental task of compiling and analyzing all the similes in the Greek and Latin versions of the Bible. The English KJV translation is also included. This is a valuable reference work that I will certainly make room for on my bookshelf.» (Paul B. Duff, Professor of Religion at The George Washington University in Washington, D. C.)
