## What is Bible Dictionary and Glossary?

Webster's 1828 Bible Dictionary:
The 1828 Webster's Dictionary of the English language is based upon God's written word. Noah Webster used the Bible as the foundation for his definitions.

Easton's Bible Dictionary:
The Third Edition of The Illustrated Bible Dictionary by Matthew George Easton, M.A., D.D. (1823-1894), was published in 1897 (three years after Easton's death) by Thomas Nelson. It contains 4,000 entries relating to the Bible, from a 19th century Christian viewpoint.

Smith's Bible Dictionary:
The original dictionary was published as a three volume set in 1863. The dictionary was named after its editor, William Smith. It was so popular that a condensed version was produced soon after.

King James Bible Dictionary:
Authorized in 1611 by James I of England, the King James Version (Authorized Version) is still the most often purchased translation of God's word. However, since that time the English language has evolved. This dictionary defines 6581 words that are not common to modern English

Vine Expository Dictionary:
It is a cross-reference from key English words in the Authorized King James Bible Version to the original words in the Greek texts of the New Testament.

Thompson Chain Reference Bible:
Thompson's study Bible 1908 containing 3,648 entries with KJV verse

Nave's Topical Bible Concordance:
Nave's Topical Bible is a book written by Orville James Nave. Nave was a chaplain in the United States Army and referred to his work as "the result of fourteen years of delight and untiring study of the Word of God." It is a topical concordance of the Bible, and contains Biblical references to over 20,000 topics. Scripture is quoted over 100,000 times; the same Scripture citation may appear under several headings

### 5/5 — Study Purposes

*2026-07-28, version 5.1.1*

I am studying the Bible and all my life when I read the Bible u just don’t understand. This application is assisting me in understanding the words and how the verses are suppose to be understood. Thank you!

### 5/5 — Excellent resource

### 5/5 — Hilda

*2026-05-12, version 5.1*

Perfect 😍

### 4/5 — User interface needs revision

*2026-04-28*

I love the level of content that you can get from this app. It gets a great amount of detail and is a really good resource for Bible study. What I don’t love is the interface. You choose a letter and then immediately goes to a list at the beginning and you have to start typing into the data entry box. However, if you delete all the letters and are ready to start typing into the data entry box again it doesn’t allow you to put in the first letter. Instead, you have to go back and tap on one of the letters of the alphabet again. So it causes you to have to switch back-and-forth between screen tapping and typing. This is very awkward and annoying.

### 5/5 — Benefits of the Bible Dictionary and Glossary

*2026-04-13, version 5.1*

Excellent tool when using in conjunction with your Bible Study to understanding scriptures.

### 5/5 — Extremely useful

*2026-04-07, version 5.1*

I have a lot of Bible study tools, but this app has been very useful and easy to use while on the go.

### 4/5 — Love it

*2026-03-15*

I really like this dictionary and glossary. I find it very helpful when I am reading my Bible. The only reason I didn’t give it. A five star is because. Have been words that I had to go to a regular dictionary to find. I thought it occurred this morning when I was using it, but it would be great if there was a feature where I could save the words that I’ve looked up into a separate personal dictionary to help me remember them better. I’m not sure how that would work. But anyway, I’m very grateful for this dictionary and glossary

### 5/5 — Exceptional

*2026-02-26, version 5.1*

Nicely done easy to navigate lots of info I really like it

### 3/5 — Update please

*2026-01-10*

Hi, This needs to be updated. There are a lot of words that are not in this Bible Dictionary
