Description
Volume Two of Hastings's Dictionary of the Bible appeared in 1899, covering entries from Feign to Kinsman. James Hastings kept his team of scholars to a high, even standard. The dictionary was meant to serve study, preaching, and teaching alike.
Articles explain hard words, trace customs, and set out the theology of the Old and New Testaments. Archaeology, then a young science, adds fresh finds from Egypt and Palestine. The tone stays reverent but honest about hard questions. For a generation, this was the first place English readers turned when a Bible name or place puzzled them.
