Fausset's Bible Dictionary

Fausset's Bible Dictionary is a reference tool that offers in-depth biblical information on a variety of topics. The dictionary was first published in 1869 by Andrew Robert Fausset, a minister and biblical scholar in the United Kingdom. He spent over a decade researching and compiling the information for this resource.

The Fausset's Bible Dictionary is an alphabetical listing of over 8,000 subjects and subtopics, along with the corresponding Bible verses that relate to each topic. The dictionary covers a wide range of subjects, including biblical characters, places, customs, and doctrines. It also includes information on biblical languages, such as Hebrew and Greek, and on the history of the Bible's translation and interpretation.

One of the unique features of Fausset's Bible Dictionary is its attention to historical and cultural context. Fausset provides detailed information on the social, political, and religious climate of the ancient world, and how it influenced the understanding and interpretation of the Bible. This makes the dictionary a valuable resource for biblical scholars, pastors, and anyone interested in understanding the Bible in its original context.

Fausset's Bible Dictionary is available in print and online, and is a great resource for anyone who wants to study the Bible in a more in-depth way. It provides a comprehensive index to the Bible, making it an invaluable tool for Bible study and research. The dictionary is a great resource for pastors, teachers, and Bible study leaders, as well as for individuals who want to explore the Bible in a new way.
