INTRODUCTION
This is, a fact-filled volume, featuring over 350 lists of scriptural facts. It differs from other books of Bible list in that topics are arranged alphabetically and are carefully cross-referenced so that each list refers the reader to related lists. The list of “Burials and Funerals,” for example, refers the reader to the list “Weeping and Mourning.”
Each list is arranged in two-column format, with the items—persons, places, facts, whatever—in the first column and the related Scripture reference in the second column.
How can this storehouse of information be used? It lends itself to use in preparing Sunday school lessons and sermons, in group and individual Bible study, and in personal devotions. Let us suppose that a Sunday school teacher is preparing a lesson on the raising of Lazarus. This was, of course, one of the best-known of Jesus’ miracles. If the teacher desires more background material on the number and nature of biblical miracles, along with the persons performing them and the related Scripture references, he or she can turn to the lists of “Miracles.” Here are all the miracles of the Bible, arranged according to who performed them. The person will find all the miracles of Jesus in one list and, in the same section, lists of the miracles of Elijah, Elisha, Moses, Peter, and Paul. If the person glanced through the lists of Elijah’s miracles, he would find that Elijah also raised a person from the dead. The person would thus learn more about Jesus’ different miracles and also more about other raising from the dead.
If a person was interested in aspects of the Christian life, he or she could turn to the section on “The Christian Life,” which not only contains several lists in itself but which also refers the reader to related list—“The Church’s Tasks,” “Commands to Believers,” “Praying,” “Salvation.”
The examples could be easily multiplied. The alphabetical arrangement and the cross-referencing system make it the most usable of any book of Bible lists. Suffice it to say that this comprehensive reference tool is make for anyone who is interested in studying and understanding Scripture in all its richness.

Note: It was not until A.D. 1250 that the Bible was divided into chapters. At that time Cardinal Hugo incorporated chapter divisions into the Latin Bible. His divisions, although for convenience, were not always accurate; however, essentially those same chapter divisions have persisted to this day. In 1551 Robert Estienne introduced a Greek New Testament with the inclusion of verse divisions. He did not fix verses for the Old Testament. The first entire English Bible to have verse divisions was the Geneva Bible in 1560.
