Features: In some Western works, biblical names are often quoted without annotations, which can pose certain comprehension difficulties for readers or translators. This book serves as a reference tool for readers from all walks of life. It is compiled based on the abridged summaries of the International Standard Bible Encyclopedia by Dr. James Orr and others, and the New Bible Dictionary written by J.D. Douglas and others. These two works are grounded in the Bible. The book also quotes original biblical verses or provides mutual interpretations, using only a minimal amount of historical or explanations when necessary. Given the vast number of biblical figures, this book summarizes and briefly introduces over 300 main names, appending additional materials at the end for readers to better consult and use the book.
