All of the illustrations and Greek and Hebrew characters are preserved.

The two volumes of supplementary articles are also included. Quite simply, this work is one of the most valuable additions a Christian reader can add to his library.
From the author of Strong’s Concordance and the result of the culminating efforts of two hundred editors, we are pleased to offer the 12-volume Cyclopaedia of Biblical, Theological, and Ecclesiastical Literature—one of the largest Bible reference works ever published in the English language. Begun in 1853 under the editorship of James Strong and John McLintock, this massive reference work contains more than 31,000 articles and 17,000,000 words, along with hundreds of pages of bibliographic material and thousands of illustrations.
Described as the most gigantic literary enterprise of its age, the Cyclopaedia of Biblical, Theological, and Ecclesiastical Literature aims to put into a single reference work the accumulated knowledge of all previous biblical scholarship. It quickly became the one of the best-selling Bible reference works of all time, and remains one of the largest reference works ever published. These volumes contain detailed articles on biblical, historical, and theological topics, including sixteen pages on the Tower of Babel, fifteen pages on David, thirty-three pages on marriage, and the longest article on Mormonism ever to appear in a reference work—before or since.
The Cyclopaedia of Biblical, Theological, and Ecclesiastical Literature also includes thousands of bibliographic articles on individuals whose lives appear in no other reference work and nowhere else in print. That makes the Cyclopaedia of Biblical, Theological, and Ecclesiastical Literature a vital tool for historians of American Christianity, as well as for scholars attempting to understand the nineteenth century origins of current topics in biblical and theological studies.
This mammoth reference work is ideal for students, scholars, pastors, and laypersons, and anyone seeking a comprehensive starting point for exploring the people, places, and topics in the Bible.
