From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Easton's Bible Dictionary generally refers to the
Illustrated Bible Dictionary, Third Edition, by
Matthew George Easton M.A., D.D. (1823-1894),
published three years after Easton's death in
1897
by Thomas Nelson. Because of its age, it is now a
public domain resource. Despite its name, many of the
entries in Easton's are encyclopedic in nature, though there are
short, dictionary-like entries. It contains nearly 4,000
entries.
Easton's Bible Dictionary contains an extensive set of
entries used in the
Bible,
from a
19th century
Christian viewpoint. Some of the entries in it are now
out-of-date, many are only short dictionary entries, but much
remains that is useful source material.
