    Introduction

    (In the coming months I shall be busy with editing the Bible Dictionary in three volumes.-b)

    Is another Bible dictionary really necessary? It would seem judging the dictionaries that are available these provide husks than meat. The name of the author sells and his celebrity status and numbers do count. The word of God is to be treated as Holy Writ and not as a piece of merchandise.

    The Holy Spirit makes it plain: "All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:/That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works (2 Ti.3: 16-17)". How many books available now are prepared in strict adherence to the above? The present work is taken up to fill a void, and prepare a child of God to quit him like a man in this age of lawlessness. He sorely needs solid food from the word of God.

    The adage 'child is the father of man' is very much true also in the making of a man of God. It is reasonable that a pedagogue relies as much on truth he knows by experience, and the trusting nature of the child does the rest. This is evident in the preceding verse of St Paul's epistle: 'And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus (v.15)'. Hearing the word of God is not simply a matter for the ear. The sound one hears is processed elsewhere so it makes sense to him. "Faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God." This time St Paul writing to the believers in Rome says this sound has been heard. Instead of being led astray from present topic we may believe that the ability of man to process what he hears is as natural as the night follows day.

    Gospel of God when broken down to sounds makes sense and as St Paul puts it, "Yes verily, their sound went into all the earth, and their words unto the ends of the world (Ro.10: 18,17)".
