Support Ministry

This is one of my most used resources. It covers a surprisingly wide range of topics, much more than many other dictionaries (e.g., "Aaron, Abaddon, Abomination, Abortion, Abraham's Bosom, etc.), including many theological topics. The articles are well-written by accomplished, evangelical scholars. After a good study Bible and concordance (and perhaps a word study book), this is the most important book to own.

Christianity Today hailed it as "a work of responsible evangelical scholarship." For 15 years it's provided pastors, teachers, and students with a balanced overview of theological trends. Elwell's dictionary is especially noted for the caliber of its many contributors. In this updated edition, some articles have been revised and many new ones added. Includes helpful bibliographies.
