The HarperCollins Bible Dictionary, revised and updated edition,
is the most complete, up-to-date, and accessible guide for the
study of the Bible available today. With more than 4,000 lively,
informative, and reader-friendly entries, this essential reference
book provides all the information you need to understand the
Bible.
Whether you are a pastor, layperson, or a student of scripture,
you will find every important name, place, and subject that makes
Bible study come to life. From Aaron to Zurishaddai, here are all
the people, events, and ideas of biblical times.
This third edition continues in the rich tradition of its
predecessors but has been thoroughly updated and revised by a new
editorial team under the direction of the premier international
scholarly body, the Society of Biblical Literature (SBL). More than
half the articles in this book are new, and several dozen charts
and tables have also been added as well as updates on recent
archaeological discoveries.
Over 200 contributors to the HarperCollins Bible Dictionary,
from a diverse group of authorities, represent an ecumenical and
non-biased viewpoint of scripture from different positions--Roman
Catholic, Jewish, mainline Protestant, and evangelical. Filled with
explanations of biblical beliefs, language, and insights into the
culture and customs of the people who lived in biblical times, this
resource will help anyone interested in scripture to more fully
appreciate the meaning and message of the Bible.
