Complete and trustworthy, Hastings' Dictionary of the Bible is a thorough reference (6,000 entries) for all readers of the Bible. For nearly a century, lay people and scholars alike have valued the authoritative contents and the convenient format of this one-volume work.

Hastings worked with over 75 authors to produce this dictionary (See Authors of Articles entry).

Dr. Hastings' Dictionary of the Bible has been considered the best single-volume Bible dictionary:

Over 6,000 important events, biblical doctrines, and theological concepts are treated completely (15 megabytes of text).
Cross references point the reader easily to related articles.
Understandable to all, the articles are comprehensive but non-technical.
Explains all the proper names mentioned in the Old Testament, New Testament, and Apocrypha.

e-Sword Edition
e-Sword 10.1 is required to show images.

e-Sword cannot show duplicate entries—when the user tries to click on a duplicate entry, e-Sword only shows the definition for the first entry. For example, three separate entries exist for "Gad", "Judah", etc. Thus, duplicate entries are combined into one entry heading.

wow! Although this work was done by many critical scholars, many of the articles are still a standard today and many are out dated. Is this the entire work 5 vol work? I have to wait and see.

Is this the entire work 5 vol work? NOPE. But I have vol 1 and vol 5, not from archive or google, they need Greek and Hebrew repaired. If anyone is interested.

Mike,

Hastings created a 1 volume dictionary. Completely separately, he compiled a 5 volume with another publisher. The two dictionaries are completely separate and had slightly different audiences. One is not a subset or abridgment of the other.

This is the 1 volume dictionary. If someone sends me clean text for the 5 volume dictionary, as they did the 1 volume, I can make it.

If all that sounds confusing, well there was more going on with publishers, projects, and theological goals back then. So much so, I have in my queue yet another Hastings dictionary--one completely unrelated to the two I just mentioned.
