A Dictionary of Scripture Proper Names

A Dictionary of Scripture Proper Names is an invaluable resource for anyone seeking to uncover the hidden meanings behind the names in the Bible. Author J. B. Jackson has meticulously researched and analyzed every proper name in the Old and New Testaments, tracing each one back to its etymological roots in Hebrew, Chaldee (Aramaic), or Greek. The result is a comprehensive guide that provides the literal English equivalent of each name, illuminating the rich symbolism and significance behind these sacred appellations.

Through his exhaustive study, Jackson has discovered that many of the existing onomasticographers cannot be relied upon for consistent and accurate renderings of biblical names. By discarding their interpretations and returning to the original languages, he has crafted a work that is both authoritative and accessible to the English-speaking reader. Whether you are a scholar, a student, or simply a curious seeker, this dictionary will deepen your understanding of Scripture and enrich your spiritual journey through the Bible.
