Two outstanding volumes!

Imagine yourself…captivated by a dictionary! A Bible dictionary is an essential resource for anyone who studies the Bible. Who has not at one time or another wondered at what “Hellenism” is, or what was meant by the words “Expiation” versus “Propitiation”? This Bible dictionary answers questions like these and is an indispensable tool for effective Bible study, providing immediate access to background information, definitions, outlines and theological information. Bible times and characters will come to life!

The Holman Bible Dictionary will start you on the path to applying the Word to your life. Such understanding gives depth and consistency to Bible interpretation, enabling the student of God’s Word to believe and follow its teaching with confidence and intelligence.

Each entry provides an excellent synopsis of its subject in the first sentence so that, if you don’t have the time for in-depth study, you’ll have a quick answer at your fingertips. Then it guides you to a complete study of a subject with handy cross-references to the Bible and to related articles. For example, if you look up the word “Menorah”, you get links directly to the Bible text as well as links to additional articles.

Correct, understandable and trustworthy. The articles in the Holman Bible Dictionary were written by over 200 contributors from diverse evangelical persuasions and national backgrounds over a 6 year period. The list of authors includes Barry J. Beitzel, W.A. Criswell, Charles Lee Feinberg, Walter Kaiser, Jr. and many more.

The dictionary was written to communicate well to everyone who uses it. And although all the writers are highly respected scholars in their fields, each one was asked to write so that everyone could understand the message, avoiding scholarly pontification.

A resource you’ll turn to again and again. As you use PC Study Bible, you’re sure to find yourself consulting the Holman Bible Dictionary for information of all types.
