Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - One of the most popular Bible commentaries of all time, Dummelow's massive but accessible work is both complete and concise, making it a favorite reference standard that has been used and appreciated by Christians of many denominations. It provides in a single large but convenient volume the…essential scholarly information needed by every minister and student of the Bible. As Bishop Anderson of the Diocese of Chicago has said, it contains 'more information attractively presented than can be found in the same amount of space in the whole realm of Bible Literature.' Preachers and theologians of various faiths have paid tribute to its 'conservative liberalism,' which combines religious reverence with academic rigor. Providing dozens of charts and maps, insight and clarification on nearly every scriptural verse, and an entire series of introductory articles on historical and theological topics, Dummelow's commentary is a must-have reference work for every serious student of the Bible. In addition, this edition has been completely redesigned, newly typeset for ease of reading, and printed on acid-free archival-quality paper, making it an valuable addition to any reader's library.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Language is an expression of ideas, and as ideas change over time, words take on new meanings. Hence, Noah Webster's monumental 1828 American Dictionary of the English Language is a work of great importance to modern readers who care about traditional values. The founding documents of the United Sta…tes of America are contemporary with this 1828 dictionary, as are many other important books and documents of that time. The 1828 dictionary defines the language of these materials in the context of their era and thus becomes a valuable reference tool to enhance understanding. In addition, Noah Webster based his work extensively on the King James Version of the Bible, so that not only the words but also the values of the early nineteenth century are reflected in the definitions. As Webster wrote, 'In my view, the Christian religion is the most important and one of the first things in which all children, under a free government ought to be instructed. . . . No truth is more evident to my mind than that the Christian religion must be the basis of any government intended to secure the rights and privileges of a free people.' To make Webster's monumental work available at a more affordable price, this new edition has been carefully prepared in a proprietary compact format: All of the words, definitions, and examples have been preserved, but the explanations of word origins have been omitted to save space, as has Webster's lengthy technical introduction. Scripture references have been standardized in modern format, and many abbreviations have been spelled out for greater understanding. Also, for the first time since the book's original publication, the text has been newly typeset; the clear and sturdy Charter typeface makes the text highly readable in spite of its small size. In addition, the book has been printed on acid-free, archival-quality paper, ensuring many years of useful service. This new, compact edition is published with the same hope expressed by Webster himself: 'I present it to my fellow citizens, not with frigid indifference, but with my ardent wishes for their improvement and their happiness; and for the continued increase of the wealth, the learning, the moral and religious elevation of character, and the glory of my country.'.
