They have drawn, wherever possible, on their own personal acquaintance with the Lands of the Bible, the Peoples, their Manners and Customs, and the Conditions of their Life. Many articles of special importance have been entrusted to scholars whose distinction in their own subjects commands universal respect. The writers are responsible for the views which they express. The Right Reverend the Lord Bishop of Truro had undertaken to write the article on the English Bible. Unfortunately he was prevented by illness from doing this; and at very short notice Mr. Maclean \vatt of Alloa kindly wrote the article. The dictionary deals with Biblical Antiquities, Biography, History, Literature, Manners and Customs, Natural History, Geography, and Topography. Repetition has been avoided by a careful arrangement of cross-references. Space has also been saved by a system of easily understood contractions, thus making possible a fuller treatment of the more important subjects.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Dictionary of the Bible, Vol. 1: Dealing With Its Language, Literature, and Contents, Including the Biblical Theology; A-Feasts Give heed to teaching.' Perhaps the Church of Christ has never given sufficient heed to teaching since the earliest and happiest days. In our own day the importance of teaching, or, as we sometimes call it, expository preaching, has been pressed home through causes that are various yet never accidental; and it is probable that in the near future more heed will be given by the Church to teaching than has ever been given before. As a contribution towards the furnishing of the Church for that great work, this dictionary OF the bible is published. It is a Dictionary of the Old and New Testaments, together with the Old Testament Apocrypha, according to the Authorized and Revised English Versions, and with constant reference to the original tongues. Every effort has been used to make the information it contains reasonably full, trustworthy, and accessible. As to fulness. In a Dictionary of the Bible one expects that the words occurring in the Bible, and which do not explain themselves, will receive some explanation. The present Dictionary more nearly meets that expectation than any Dictionary that has hitherto been published. Articles have been written on the names of all Persons and Places, on the Antiquities and Archaeology Of the Bible, on its Ethnology, Geology, and Natural History, on Biblical Theology and Ethic, and even on the Obsolete or archaic words occurring in the English Versions. The greater number of the articles are of small compass, for care has been exercised to exclude vague generalities as well as unaccepted idiosyncrasies but there are many articles which deal with important and difficult subjects, and extend to considerable length. Such, for example, and to mention only one, is the article in the first volume on the Chronology Of the New Testament.
