Editorial Foreword
Since the inception of the Christian church, believers have found both the center and circumference of divine revelation in the sacred Scriptures. The day the church was born she had a fully authoritative Bible, the Old Testament. The need for more Scripture was recognized in due time and the authority of the books that constitute the New Testament was affirmed through a centuries-long process of canonization. The historic faith of the church is that authoritative inscribed (that is, written) revelation begins and ends with the Bible. These are fundamental theological affirmations central to this project. We declare unequivocally our commitment, and the commitment of the other editors, to the total trustworthiness, truthfulness, sufficiency, inerrancy, and infallibility of the Bible.
Further, nothing is more basic to progress in the Christian life and to ministry of every kind than a working knowledge of Scripture. Our sincere hope is that this book will serve multiple purposes, such as facilitating acquisition of knowledge about the Bible, understanding the Bible's meaning and message, and providing an entree into the wider world of biblical scholarship.
We stand on the shoulders of others, the editors and writers who produced the Holman Bible Dictionary (HBD). Interestingly, that project consumed six years, as has this revision and expansion. Neither edition would have been possible without the Herculean effort of general editor Trent Butler and the contributing editors of the HBD. Trent also encouraged the publisher to prepare a new edition, incorporating the best of recent biblical scholarship.
We are deeply grateful for the opportunity to collaborate with so many gifted people in the completion of the Holman Illustrated Bible Dictionary (HIBD). Without the active and aggressive leadership, participation, patience, and support of Ray Clendenen, Steve Bond, Vicki Lee, Dean Richardson, and others at B&H this project could not have been completed. In addition, we have received invaluable assistance from secretarial assistants, especially Lisa Taylor, Lindi Fowler, and Tina Brand. The institutions where we have taught over these years have been very gracious and supportive of the project. We extend thanks to our deans, presidents, and colleagues at North Greenville College, Boyce College, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, and New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary for support, advice, and encouragement along the way. We are indebted also to hundreds of gifted writers.
While our editorial design is to serve a broad audience, from lay people to students and ministers, we believe the HIBD is useful also to professors and scholars. For twelve years prior to the writing of this foreword, the HBD has been among the best-selling Bible dictionaries. We commend the HIBD to you, and we hope and pray that it proves as durable and useful and finds as wide a constituency as its predecessor.
