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. While the text of the Bible is inspired by God, it was written by particular people in a specific culture who wrote to particular people in a specific culture. Sometimes there’s a stark difference between their culture and our 21st century culture. 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.
