Bible Dictionaries

A Bible dictionary is an indispensable tool for the student of the Bible, helping you to answer many of your “Who, What, Where and When” questions.  Most of them are not simply dictionaries with definitions, but mini-encyclopedias with short articles, photos, maps, charts, and bibliographies.  Here are several one-volume dictionaries based on solid scholarship:
