Easton's Bible Dictionary

M G Easton

Matthew George Easton (1823-1894) was a Scottish Presbyterian pastor and scholar about whom little is generally known beyond his several abiding literary works - his Bible Dictionary and translations of two Biblical commentaries by Franz Delitzsch.

This dictionary covers thoroughly the range of Biblical topics – persons, places, the Bible books, and many general or important theological terms. The articles tend to be direct and concise, with frequent Scripture passages cited.

The third edition of this Dictionary was published in 1897. It covers thoroughly the range of Biblical topics – persons, places, the Bible books, and many general or important theological terms (in English). The articles tend to be direct and concise, with frequent Scripture passages cited. It is a valuable and readable dictionary representing the state of Christian scholarship at the end of the 19th century.
