Originally published as the Evangelical Dictionary of Biblical Theology, this dictionary traces more than five
hundred theological themes and doctrines through the Bible.
The intention of this dictionary is to make biblical teaching on a variety of topics--from Abraham, angels, and
assurance to women, worship, and the theology of Zephaniah--accessible and clear to church leaders as well as serious
lay readers. Bibliographies appended to larger articles help readers dig deeper. A comprehensive Scripture index
rounds out the work, enabling readers to glean every essential theological insight on a passage.
Walter A. Elwell is professor of biblical studies and theology at Wheaton College Graduate School. He is coauthor
of Encountering the New Testament and has edited numerous reference works. Elwell lives in Princeton, Illinois.
