Easton’s Bible Dictionary is a book by Matthew George Easton, first published in 1893. Designed as a practical and accessible reference, this work offers concise explanations of names, places, customs, and key theological concepts found in the Bible. Easton's aim was to provide a resource that would aid students of the Scriptures, whether scholars or lay readers, in better understanding the cultural and historical context of the biblical world. Drawing from both biblical and classical sources, the dictionary reflects a 19th-century evangelical Protestant perspective, emphasizing clarity, faithfulness to scripture, and scholarly rigor. This dictionary quickly became one of the most trusted Bible reference tools of its time and has remained in circulation for over a century due to its usefulness and straightforward style. It played a vital role in making biblical scholarship more accessible during an era when deeper study of the Scriptures was becoming increasingly popular among the general public. Its influence is still evident today, as it continues to be widely used in digital and print formats by readers seeking a reliable, traditional approach to biblical understanding.
