Description
Volume Four of Hastings's Dictionary of the Bible, published in 1902, completes the main alphabet, from Pleroma to Zuzim. James Hastings had driven the huge project for a decade. The final alphabetical volume was long awaited by subscribers.
Long articles on prophecy, the Psalms, Rome, sacrifice, and the Temple anchor this volume. Writers sum up the scholarship of the 1890s on the Bible's history and teaching. The set's balance of faith and learning made it a fixture in seminaries. Readers today use it to see how the best scholars of 1900 understood the scriptures. Sets were sold volume by volume to ministers across the English-speaking world.
