The Westminster Bible Dictionary

The late nineteenth century saw a boom in biblical studies and publications, growing everything from archaeology and natural history to theology and interpretation. Simultaneously, Bible education for the layperson grew in leaps and bounds, as Sunday schools abounded and books flew off the press aimed at the everyday Christian. Developed by the Presbyterian Board of Publications to provide a reliable reference work for the latest topics related to Bible interpretation, geography, and linguistics, The Westminster Bible Dictionary is the one-stop reference book for all terms biblical, ecclesial, and theological.
