Illustrated Bible Dictionary

The fruit of many years of loving labor Scottish Presbyterian minister Matthew George Eastons Illustrated Bible Dictionary has become a classic reference for those studying the Bible. Originally published in 1897 three years after Eastons death it contains almost 4000 entries and dozens of illustrations and maps. Readers will find definitions of terms ranging from Alpha to Zuzims. In between theyll find entries both obscure and common such as Emims (a warlike tribe of giants) Hagar (Sarahs handmaid) immortality meekness Pentecost (the feast of harvest) seventy weeks (a prophetic period of time before the coming of the Messiah) sling (what David used to slay the giant) and Zorah (Samsons birthplace).
