Find the words behind the worship. A living key to scripture.Eastwood’s Bible Word-Book is a compact, authoritative bible glossary reference for readers puzzled by the Authorised Version and the language of the Book of Common Prayer. Clear entries explain archaic bible language and religious word meanings, noting shades of sense, common contexts and helpful parallels so that unfamiliar terms resolve into intelligible text. The tone is precise and approachable; entries suit both swift consultation and sustained biblical language study. Casual readers gain immediate clarity when a verse or prayer jars; clergy, bible study groups and scholars and theologians use it as a reliable bible study aid for sermon prep, annotation and historical comparison. No jargon, no unnecessary flourish - only plain help where the old language obscures meaning.A vital Victorian-era reference, the work sits at the crossroads of church history resource and literary lexicon: a King James Bible companion for anyone reading Authorised English with fresh eyes. It functions as a prayer book vocabulary guide, a scriptural language collection for annotators and translators, and a compact reference for students of liturgy, Victorian theology and chapel history. Republished by Alpha Editions in a careful modern edition, this volume preserves the spirit of the original while making it effortless to enjoy today - a heritage title prepared for readers and collectors alike. Equally at home on the shelf of a classic-literature collector or open beside a modern Bible, this restored glossary rewards patient study and instant reference, bridging two centuries of sacred English for the curious and the learned. Used by readers decoding sermons, hymn texts and historic registers, it shows how meaning shifts through time and anchors modern comprehension in old phraseology. The careful lexicography makes it as useful on a desk as in a seminar; a dependable companion for anyone working with the Authorised Version and related liturgical texts.
