The Revised Version (British and American) makes frequent changes, such as "for," "as for," "from," "about," for "concerning"; "concerning" instead of "for," "of," "over," "in," "against," etc. Some of the other changes are, "unto that which is good" for "concerning" (Romans 16:19 ), "concerning" instead of "because of" (Jeremiah 23:9 ), for "the miracle of" (Mark 6:52 ); for "with" (Mark 10:41 ), for "of the Lord" (Acts 18:25 ), "concerning Jesus" (diferent text), "by way of disparagement" (2 Corinthians 11:21 ), instead of "concerning reproach"; "Why askest thou me concerning that which is good?" (Matthew 19:17 ) instead of "Why callest thou me good?" (different text; see the Revised Version, margin).
The International Standard Bible Encyclopedia (ISBE) was edited by James Orr, John Nuelsen, Edgar Mullins, Morris Evans, and Melvin Grove Kyle and was published complete in 1939. This web site includes the complete text.
WikipediaThe ISBE is a classic Bible reference compiled from nearly 10,000 entries written by over 200 different Bible scholars and teachers. In addition to the encyclopedia articles, all of the major words of the Bible are represented and defined.
The historical, cultural, and linguistic information in the ISBE can be of great value in Bible study and research.
But as with any writings of men, the careful student of the Bible must always compare them with Scripture. As you use this helpful study resource, remember that only God's word is pure.
