Christians read the Bible because the triune God has revealed himself to us through these pages. We worship God, not the Bible, but we learn about who God is and what pleases him through these divinely inspired words. We not only learn about God, but also about ourselves and, using the language of Jesus parable of the sower (Mark 4:120), the word of God, like a seed, if planted in the rich soil of a receptive heart and mind, will transform the lives of those who read it.
The main message of the Bible is clear and easy to understand. God created everything, including us, but we rebelled against him. We need a savior, and that savior is Jesus Christ. That said, though the main message is clear, the Bible is not always easy to understand. We encounter many strange names, places, customs, and concepts. The Baker Compact Bible Dictionary is a handy tool that can help the interested reader gain the knowledge necessary to read the Bible with clarity of understanding.
The Compact Bible Dictionary is a shorter version composed of the most important entries from the much larger Baker Illustrated Bible Dictionary . Thus, the same team that produced the BIBD is to be thanked for the work that led to the Compact Dictionary . I served as the general editor and made the choices of which articles to include in the Compact Dictionary and also helped make them, well, more compact. Mark Strauss and Peter Enns were the New Testament and Old Testament editors of the BIBD respectively. Well over one hundred contributors wrote the articles that compose both these reference works and I thank them heartily for their labors.
I also want to express my appreciation to Baker Publishing Group. Jack Kuhatschek, my longtime friend, initiated the project by inviting me to be editor. I also want to thank Brian Vos and James Korsmo for their work on this project. The latter in particular was extremely helpful in his close reading of the text that helped us avoid many mistakes. That said, as general editor, any remaining errors are my responsibility.
My sincere prayer and hope is that this tool will help you, its user, to read the Bible with understanding so that you may come to know God even better.
