What Is a Bible Dictionary and How Do I Use It?
A Bible dictionary (or Bible encyclopedia) is one of the most helpful resources you can use for studying the Bible.

A Bible dictionary helps bridge the gap for the modern reader by explaining how certain terms were understood during the time the Bible was written.
