Compact Bible Dictionary

Description: Used hardcover of Compact Bible Dictionary edited by T. Alton Bryant. Book damage shown in pictures. Book blurb: The purpose of a Bible Dictionary is to place at the reader's fingertips a convenient and adequate explanation and definition of words and proper names which are used in the Bible, assisting in the better comprehension of the meaning and message of the Scripture passage, and to provide thorough and understandable data concerning the subject in which he is interested and with Which he is concerned. That is the function of The Compact Bible Dictionary. This book is designed with the lay reader, teacher, and minister, or Bible student in mind. Its definitions are concise yet thorough, and deal with persons, places, objects and events in the Bible. Its summaries of the various books of the Bible, alone, make it invaluable to the serious student. One outstanding feature of this Dictionary is its extensive and up-to-date treatment of recent archaeological finds in the Holy Land, such as the Dead Sea Scrolls and related discoveries. These facts are heavily emphasized in the articles in which they appear, and form a backdrop for much of the recent scholarship evidenced in this reference work. Another outstanding feature of this Dictionary is its extensive photo coverage of Bible places and objects. More than 250 illustrations from various sources have been used to graphically picture these places and events for the reader. The editor wishes to express his deepest appreciation to the following for permission to use photo and other illustrations from their sources: Mr. G. Eric Mat-son of Matson Photo Service, the Oriental Institute of the University of Chicago, the British Museum of London, the University Museum of Pennsylvania, the Radio Times Hulton Picture Library of London, the University of Michigan Library, Dr. John F. Wal-voord, Dr. Siegfried H. Horn of Andrews University, and others. Pronunciation follows the model of Webster's New International Dictionary of the English Language. All Hebrew and Greek names, as well as other names and terms, are followed by their English pronunciations in parentheses. A list of abbreviations follows this Preface. It is the hope of editor and publisher that this reference work will be used widely and effectively among all who seriously study and revere the Word of God.
