Harper Collins Bible Dictionary-Revised Edition: by- Paul J. Achtemeier  (ISBN:9788188821556)

The Harper Collins Bible Dictionary, Revised Edition, is the most complete, up-to-date, and accessible guide for the study of the Bible available today. With more than 3,700 lively, informative, and easy-to-use entries, this essential reference book provides all the information you need to fully understand the Bible. Whether you’re a member of the clergy or a student of Scripture, you’ll find all the important names, places, and subjects that make Bible study come to life. From Aaron to Zurishaddai, here are all the people, events and ideas of biblical times-whether it’s the ages of the patriarchs, judges, kings, and prophets or the world of the New Testament and the early church. Other significant topics include the Dead Sea Scrolls, the Nag Hammadi Library, the archaeology of the biblical world, and the history of the English Bible, as well as new sections on African-Americans and the Bible, feminist interpretations of Scripture, and a completely updated pronunciation guide. More than a quarter of the articles in this book are new or totally revised from the first edition of the Bible Dictionary.
