This glossary, which provides more detail than simple definitions, contains many helpful words and phrases. To find a specific word begin with the letter you selected. Click on the letter and you will go to the list.

We take the position that certain topics require a fuller exposition for the reader to be reasonably informed. You will note that we included terms from anthropology, history and theology. We did so because the archaeology of the bible lands draws extensively upon these disciplines. Moreover, as many of our viewers are new to this field we decided to include material at an introductory level such that high school students would feel comfortable in navigating this site. We employed many links as aids for learning new material and for reinforcing previous learning.

In most listings, we provide aids for proper pronunciation to assist the general viewer and particularly our viewers who are not native English speakers. The aid immediately follows the word enclosed by a parenthesis with the accented term in all capital letters, e.g., agora (AG·o·ra). Moreover, you may read the text of scriptures in the NASB through the links provided.
