Oxford Dictionary of the Bible
- Christopher Hirst, The Independent
A Dictionary of the Bible is the most acclaimed, accessible, and up-to-date dictionary of its kind. Containing over 2,000 authoritative entries it provides clear and concise information about all of the important places, people, themes, and doctrines of the Bible. Terms range from earthquakes and mice to martyrs and art, and new to this edition are entries on Act of God, Old Testament and New Testament theology, Hanukkah, the Koran, mysticism, and many more.
This dictionary features a detailed bibliography, biographies of Bible scholars, a conversion table of measures, weights, and values, a chronology of important dates in Biblical history, and historical maps (showing Israel in Canaan; the near east in the time of the Assyrian Empire; Palestine under the Herods; the background of the New Testament; Rome and the East).
With lively and informative A-Z entries and an array of useful supplementary material, this dictionary is essential for students and teachers of theology and religious education, and it is an absorbing reference work for all readers of the Bible.
Also includes advanced search and language tools that have become the staple of quality language apps from MobiSystems, Inc.

Well informed, accurate and detailed, would recommend for good bibical study!
This app is very informative and helpful in study God bless you and all your team.
This helps me and my wife with the words we bo not understand in the Bible. It tells us its Definition in mostly terms we understand. So with that I would recommend this app for those people that are like us and need something to explain the word.
I wish you had a free app so I could look up words I don't undeerstand
It is called Oxford Dictionary of the Bible, but it seems to be a dictionary. I could find no designation of a Bible dictionary section.
Very impressive,I introduced it to everyone,the app is good
It gives us full high lights
it's a great time to study the Oxford Dictionary of the Bible
This bible dictionary is profound, I will say no more ,thanks to you all.
Why you need my contacts and my files when your juSt aN aPp just Define words getting into the root of the word why you need all that information SMH💨💩💩💩
After paying for it, I still have to download it each time I want to use it.
Dict not accurate: Ἰησοῦς (Strong's #2424 Noun Masculine iesous: ee-ay-sooce' ) transliteration of the Heb. "Joshua," WRONG transliteration for Jesus to YHVH saves or YHVH is salvation. iesous pronounced ee-ay-sooce Hebrew Masculine ישוע (Yeshua) Hebrew Feminine ישועה (Yeshuah) Salvation . ישע (Yasha) He saved. Galilean Jews call Yeshu (ישו ) Judean Yeshua (ישוע ) Greek , Latin end up with -s- eg: Luke to Lukas, Mattiu to Matius, YESHU to IESUS Latin, Iesous Greek Eng. Jesus Je-soos.
Paid Rs 650 just now, but app is still showing ads. Shame on you guys
Great app but need to upgrade
Interesting and resourceful
A must have to add your collection of biblical studies.
This is a phony directory. It will not let me see the definition of the word unless I up grade for money... I've never seen such a greedy money hungry "Bible" app that has sold itself out for greedy gain!! I'm very sorry to say this is what the world has come down to.This is what Jesus said not all who call Lord, Lord,..This is the sad, sad, reason America (and Christians) has been judged and found wanting. Greed I pray for the makers of this app to trun from Greed and find love in Christ, Peace
Not at all opened but asking to go premium
This app is very nice to use
Couldn't have been better than this
I love this app
It was Good
Dictionary of bible
Ok five stars!
Very infirmative
Thankyou
This is the only dictionary, in MobiSystem's collection that I do not like. I have a Masters of Divinity (M.Div. w/ 91 credit hours total) in Biblical Studies. One reason for dislike: You fail to give proper and truthful explanation for the spiritual aspects of people, places, and events within Scripture. And to think, Oxford College for Biblical Theology and Studies used to be one of the finest in the world.
Seemed nice when I was first checking it out. Just that I have seen free ones that have more words than this one has like 'grieve'. Also the free ones show more information about the person and where all you can find the person in the bible. Also this morning it gives me a $4.99 offer for the day. So I spent time checking it out more and deciding. Next I knew, the offer was not there.
I was purchased full license since 3years back.now am changed mobile hanset but not update full version how can I get full license. Help me..
Why does the app require permission to access my photos? Without that, the app is not even opening. I find it real stupid.
