Baker's Evangelical Dictionary of Biblical Theology
 

Excellent supplement to "Study Dictionary from Bible.org". Articles are well written and easy to understand.

 

Hint: When you do a search other references that contain articles may be retrieved. E.g., enter sanctification and click Lookup and note 3 capital letters after Sanctification [N][T][E]. Each letter links to an article in another resource.

 

Enter Query <> Click Lookup

For example: entering faith and choosing Lookup will bring up the entry for FAITH. Entering faith and choosing Find Similar will bring up a list of entries containing faith: Faith ; Faithfulness

 

This is a more recently written dictionary with crisp, succinct definitions and active links for all Scripture references. Click link to open main menu. Then Click Dictionary, Then Click Holman. 

 

Click use the search function to retrieve "hits" but note that not all "hits" are specific for the "web encyclopedia". Select a "hit" in the "web encyclopedia" to go to a definition and note that any text highlighted in blue is a link to another definition (etc, etc). This site is also developing a "WEB BIBLE", using the KJV with links from "key words" in the text to specific definitions of those words. To get an idea of how it might be useful when it is fully developed go to WEB BIBLE and under "Old Testament" select Genesis & chapter 15. Click on "Abram" (in blue) for the linked definition.
