This tool, unique in French to date, presents the books and major themes of the Bible, showing how they fit into the overall landscape of the Bible, in its unity and diversity. Two hundred key themes are addressed – such as creation, eschatology, Israel, Jesus Christ, the kingdom of God, salvation, suffering, wisdom, and worship.
The work is divided into three parts. The first deals with major introductory and methodological questions: for example, how to interpret the Bible, how one moves from the Old to the New Testament, what biblical theology brings to preaching, etc.
In the second part, all the biblical books are addressed, first by corpus (the Pentateuch, the historical books, the Prophets, the wisdom literature, the Synoptic Gospels, the Johannine writings, etc.) and then individually. The theology and message of each book are presented, enriching the reader's understanding of the Bible and their overall perspective.
The third part covers, in one hundred and forty articles, the main biblical characters and major themes, in order to show both the continuity and the originality of the biblical canon and its different parts.
Approximately one hundred and twenty authors, both English and French-speaking, contributed to the writing of this dictionary, making it an essential resource for the study of the Bible and theology.
