This classic word study resource allows you to study the meaning of biblical words in the original languages without spending years learning Greek or Hebrew.
A great resource for students, seasoned pastors, and anyone who enjoys biblical word studies--even if they have little to no formal training in Hebrew or Greek. Vine's Complete Expository Dictionary:
Contains over 6,000 key biblical words, describing word frequency, usage, and meaning as fully as possible.
Serves as a dictionary, commentary, and comprehensive topical concordance all in one volume.
Includes the widely used numbering system found in The New Strong's Exhaustive Concordance of the Bible.
Contains an introduction describing the history of the languages in which the Bible was written and other orientating data on how the modern Bible came about.
This classic reference tool has helped thousands dig deeper into the meaning of the biblical text and will enlighten Bible students to the riches of God's truth in Scripture, opening up God's word as it has never been opened before.
For 25 years the Holman Illustrated Bible Dictionary has been the go-to Bible reference resource for lay Bible students, teachers, pastors, academic courses, and libraries. Those who have used it have praised its comprehensiveness, conciseness, and clarity.
Over 6,500 articles from Aaron to Zuzite are written to equip the reader for greater competence in understanding and interpreting the Scriptures. Each article is structured to begin with a concise definition followed by a thorough development of the topic.
Some 700 full-color photos, maps, reconstructions, and charts enrich the experience of those who use the Dictionary for personal study, academic work, and preparation for teaching and preaching the Bible.
Contemporary Bible readers are separated from the original documents by 2,000 to 3,500 years. Bridging this chasm requires linguistic, literary, geographical, historical, and cultural information that the Holman Illustrated Bible Dictionary provides.
This third edition of the Dictionary makes available up-to-date archaeological information that illuminates the biblical text.
You’ve heard many Bible stories hundreds of times, but how many details are you missing? Sometimes a little context is all you need to discover the rich meaning behind even the most familiar stories of Scripture. That’s what the NIV Cultural Backgrounds Study Bible provides. Every page of this NIV Bible is packed with expert insight into the customs, culture, and literature of biblical times. These fascinating explanations will serve to clarify your study of the Scriptures, reinforcing your confidence and bringing difficult passages of Scripture into sharp focus.
The Bible was originally written to an ancient people removed from us by thousands of years and thousands of miles. The Scriptures include subtle culturally based nuances, undertones, and references to ancient events, literature and customs that were intuitively understood by those who first heard the texts read. For us to truly understand the Scriptures as they did, we need a window into their world and language.
The NIV Cultural Backgrounds Study Bible, with notes from Dr. John H. Walton (Wheaton College) in the Old Testament and Dr. Craig S. Keener (Asbury Theological Seminary) in the New Testament, brings the ancient world of Scripture to life for modern readers.

Complete text of the accurate, readable, and clear New International Version (NIV)
