The original Hebrew, Aramaic of Greek works are trans- literated, aiding those with limited or no knowledge of the original languages of the Bible. Major articles are subdivided, with a helpful outline pro- vided at the beginning of the entry. Bibliographies are provided wherever useful, enabling the reader to continue to research beyond this encyclopedia.
