This book is intended to elucidate the distinctively theological meanins of the key words in the Bible, from Abomination to Zeal. The Editor and thirty other distinguished contributors have focused attention on theological meanings because it is at precisely this point that the ordinary reader of the Bible, as well as the preacher and teacher, requires clear and positive help. The book reflects the strictest historical, literary, and philological scrutiny that is the indispensable discipline of all biblical theology. All Hebrew and Greek words have been transliterated into English characters, and a valuable cross-indexing system is provided.
