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.
