Dear Friend:

Thank you for your question about obtaining a good Bible dictionary.

Actually, most Bible dictionaries are helpful for general research such as looking up names and places mentioned in the Bible and for researching the meanings of obscure words. Among the many Bible dictionaries available, you should be able to find one that suits your personal preference and needs.

Following is a list of some of the Bible dictionaries you might find helpful: "Davis Dictionary of the Bible" by John D. Davis (Baker Book House), "Unger's Bible Dictionary" by Merrill F. Unger (Moody Press), "Smith's Bible Dictionary" by William Smith (Spire Books), "The New Bible Dictionary" (published by Tyndale), "Peloubet's Bible Dictionary" (published by Holt, Rinehart and Winston), and "The Zondervan Pictorial Bible Dictionary" (Zondervan Publishing House.)

One or more of these should be available in most libraries and bookstores. If you are unable to purchase the books you need in your area, you may write to our Ambassador College bookstore. They will be able to send you a list of the Bible dictionaries they have available, along with the prices. Their address is: Paper Egret, Ambassador College, 169 South St. John, Pasadena, CA 91129.

We appreciate your desire to learn more about God's Word. Please feel welcome to let us know whenever we may assist you further with your study.
