Clyde E. Fant -- Stetson University "Richard Losch has written much more than just another 'name book.' What he has given us is really a commentary on the Bible, seen through the unique focus of the human players in the biblical story. His comprehensive work is meticulously researched, accurately presented, and fascinatingly written. All pastors should add this impressive volume to those books they keep in reach -- it will be in constant use." Review of Biblical Literature "Losch has provided an attractive and usable guide to all the 'saints, scoundrels, and other characters in Scripture' that, indeed, demonstrates the truly human and historical nature of the Judeo-Christian biblical tradition." Choice "This straightforward, insightful reference book is based on a close reading of the Bible and the Apocrypha. . . . Recommended." American Reference Books Annual "Losch's organized treatment of the characters in the Bible, as well as his respect for other traditions and enthusiasm for the Judeo-Christian scriptures, makes All the People in the Bible a must for any church or seminary library."
