Easton's Bible Dictionary (1897)


Easton's Bible Dictionary generally refers to the <cite>Illustrated Bible Dictionary, Third Edition</cite>, by Matthew George Easton M.A., D.D. (1823-1894), published three years after Easton's death in 1897 by Thomas Nelson. Because of its age, it is now a public domain resource. Despite its name, many of the entries in Easton's are encyclopedic in nature, though there are short, dictionary-like entries. It contains nearly 4,000 entries.
