Description
Matthew Easton, a Scottish minister, published his book in 1893. It was the standard one-volume Bible dictionary for ordinary readers. Easton aimed to put sound learning within reach of Sunday school teachers and families.
Entries cover the history, biography, geography, doctrine, and literature of the Bible in plain language. Illustrations, tables of dates, and maps support the articles. Easton takes a conservative line, trusting the text while using the new digging of his day. The dictionary sold widely and was reprinted for decades; digital editions still circulate among students of the scriptures today. The tone is calm and plain, made for home use as much as for the pulpit.
