T he Essential Bible Dictionary is designed to provide quick but reliable information on the most important names and concepts found in the Bible, as well as explanations for selected terms that modern readers find difficult to understand.
Unlike comparable works in the market, the EBD does not include words that are readily found in English dictionaries (e.g., adhere, foul, lad, prey, thither) unless a special biblical usage requires comment. On the other hand, it includes a larger number of proper names than one usually finds in Bible dictionaries for students. Moreover, many of the entries provide a fuller description, based on the forthcoming Zondervan Illustrated Bible Dictionary.
The New International Version (NIV, 1984 ed.) serves as the primary basis of this work, although alternate renderings and spellings of proper names are often given, especially from Todays New International Version (TNIV) and the King James Version (KJV).
Cross-references are set in SMALL CAPS , indicating that the term in question has a separate entry in the dictionary. Thus when the reader comes across an unfamiliar name or concept, he or she can tell immediately whether the term is described elsewhere.
The pronunciation of biblical names is based on W. O. Walker Jr., The Harper Collins Bible Pronunciation Guide (1989), which uses a simple system for indicating English sounds, as shown here.
