Holman Illustrated Bible Dictionary, Revised and Expanded

For 25 years theHolman Illustrated Bible Dictionaryhas been the go-to Bible reference resource for lay Bible students, teachers, pastors, academic courses, and libraries. Those who have used it have praised its comprehensiveness, conciseness, and clarity. Over 6,500 articles from Aaron to Zuzite are written to equip the reader for greater competence in understanding and interpreting the Scriptures. Each article is structured to begin with a concise definition followed by a thorough development of the topic. Some 700 full-color photos, maps, reconstructions, and charts enrich the experience of those who use theDictionaryfor personal study, academic work, and preparation for teaching and preaching the Bible.

Contemporary Bible readers are separated from the original documents by 2,000 to 3,500 years. Bridging this chasm requires linguistic, literary, geographical, historical, and cultural information that theHolman Illustrated Bible Dictionaryprovides. This third edition of theDictionarymakes available up-to-date archaeological information that illuminates the biblical text.
