A must have for any biblical scholar, this resource contains over 9,000 topics and 3,500 cross-references, including an article on every name of a person or place mentioned in the Bible. ISBE is also an exegetical tool as it provides a brief discussion of problem texts under the English keywords and guides the exegete to more information that is found in other scholarly resources. Each entry provides a maximum amount of information in compact form, including pronunciation, etymology, and variant renderings. Major Bible doctrines are also examined and given opposing articles on controversial topics to ensure a rounded explanation and description. Hundreds of evangelical contributors from many fields of biblical research make this encyclopedia a well-rounded resource.
Praise for the International Standard Bible Encyclopedia
I use this set more than any other reference work I own. Great articles on every major doctrine, person, place, and event in the Bible. This one ... is indispensable!
—Dr. Kim Riddlebarger
This is an incredible resource for any serious student of the Word of God. I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND THE DIGITAL VERSION. The folks at Logos really got it right. As a seminary student, I like the electronic version because when I quote from the book and copy and paste it to my paper, it carries over the footnotes for me. What a Godsend.

Logos Bible Software also carries the 1915 edition of the International Standard Bible Encyclopedia, which is available here.

As always, the full text of the electronic edition may be searched for words, phrases, Bible references, or complex combinations of terms. Articles are tagged with topics, allowing you to browse or search by topic. Internal cross-references in the print text marked with an asterisk (*) are converted to hyperlink jumps that take you directly to the article cited. These features together integrate seemlessly into your Logos Bible Software, using the Libronix Digital Library System.
