Synopsis

Compendious Introduction To The Study Of The Bible by Thomas Hartwell Horne. This comprehensive reference work functions as a Bible encyclopedia and dictionary, providing a detailed indexing system of biblical names, places, terms, and interpretive principles. It features an Index of Persons and Places with hundreds of entries, a General Index of Matters on canonical and interpretive topics, and sections on methodology, including figurative language, prophecy, and the Old–New Testament relationship. It surveys passages referred to or illustrated from across the biblical corpus to aid cross-referencing, and it situates the study of Scripture within textual criticism, theology, and biblical geography. Appendices supply weights, measures, chronological tables, and select chapters for private or family reading. The book foregrounds canonical formation, authorship, dating, and authority, presenting a traditional evangelical apologetic that defends inspiration and credibility. Rich with maps, tables, and indexes, it aims to equip scholars and students with a cross-referenced map of biblical names, places, terms, and interpretive principles for serious study. Overall, it connects linguistic, historical, and geographical data to form a coherent guide for textual criticism and theology.
