Catholic Bible Dictionary

More than a generation has passed since the appearance of the last major Catholic Bible dictionary. It has been a fertile generation for biblical scholarship, an eventful time for biblical archaeology, and a fruitful time for the Church's interpretation of the Bible. It is time for a new resource.

"Catholic Bible Dictionary is an extremely useful tool for any Bible student, whether beginner or advanced. This dictionary is particularly helpful for Catholics who need both etymological studies of terms and solid theological help. My only hope is that the readers will study the articles on a regular basis and eventually read the whole dictionary as they study the whole Bible." -Fr. Mitchell C.

I strongly recommend this book for anyone who wants to come to a deeper knowledge and love of sacred scripture." -Fr. Benedict J. Groeschel, CFR

In fact, I believe that

Overall, the Catholic Bible Dictionary serves as an extremely useful and easy-to-use research tool for Catholic Biblical Studies, and has many advantages for non-Catholics seeking to better understand the Bible as well. Hahn and his team are to be commended for the approachability and balance of this dictionary, which should have a place on bookshelves everywhere.

For bible dictionaries (or other reference books that provide content in alphabetical order), in the footnote, use s.v. (Latin for sub verbo) before the title of the entry that you are citing. (If you are citing more than one title, use the plural form, s.vv.). Publisher information does not need to be included in the footnote.
