A Dictionary of the Proper Names of the Old and New Testament Scriptures

A Dictionary Of Scripture Proper Names is a very straightforward guidebook to the meaning of biblical names not generally translated into their English meanings. Aside from a brief preface and pronunciation guide, it consists entirely of scriptural proper names and their literal translations. From Aaron (meaning "light-bringer") to Zuriel (meaning "my rock is God"), A Dictionary of Scripture Proper Names leaves no proper noun undefined. Especially recommended for Biblical Studies reference collections and reading lists, A Dictionary Of Scripture Proper Names functions as an excellent quick reference, and may also serve to assist anyone looking for appropriate-sounding scriptural names.

This book simply lists the names of people and places in the Bible and offers a brief definition of their meaning. It is a very useful resource for interpreting the Bible's deeper meaning, because when the meaning of a name is known, it can usually be seen to relate to the context in which it is found.
