This book vastly expands on the lexicon found in an earlier publication, adding over 25% more proper nouns, providing more in-depth research and a broader scope of information, including names from apocryphal, non-canonical religious texts. The original text focused primarily on the canonical books of the Christian Bible, this second edition delves into a wider history of the Jewish faith, branching out into names from Jewish history, mythology, and folklore. In addition to proper names, the book also benefits from significant revisions to names and spellings to more accurately reflect modern scholarship and understanding of the various languages from which names in the Bible are taken. The author has updated etymologies and added more descriptive entries to aid readers' understanding of the significance and meaning of names from the Bible, Apocrypha, and other sources. This book will prove a valuable resource for scholars and students of religious texts, history, and language.
