The Lutterworth Dictionary of the Bible by Watson E Mills

The Lutterworth Dictionary of the Bible by Watson E Mills

Produced by a professional community of over 250 teachers of the Bible and their advisors, this most ambitious endeavour contains over one million words. Comprehensive cross-referencing throughout the book allows for ease and speed of use. The Lutterworth Dictionary of the Bible provides a concise resource containing canonical as well as non-canonical references. In addition to featuring a synopsis of each canonical book, the Dictionary pays attention to still-emerging concerns. Other fascinating topics such as wizards, pottery chronology and polygamy along with summaries on key (but not necessarily biblical) persons place the Bible firmly in its historical context. To avoid bias a determined effort has been made to draw contributors from a variety of schools of interpretation, with the idea of including a broad range of opinions and approaches to the critical issues involved in the study of the Bible.
