Product Description:

The meanings of words change over time. Take the word "marriage," for example. Who knows how a modern secular dictionary will define it tomorrow? Fortunately, we have a standard available that will not change, because the definitions are based on the word's Biblical usage and basis in one of 26 original languages. This reprint of Noah Webster's classic is nearly a textbook in itself, as it gives examples of word usage from classical literature and the Bible. What better way to understand the writings of America's founding fathers than to define their words as they would have understood them.

Because I do not trust using online resources for everything. There is something about taking the time to research and picking up a reliable resource in the form of a book. Language is important and the use of word meanings is deluded today. I study scripture in depth and love history. I believe this resource will aid me in growing my vocabulary, gaining greater understanding of God's Word and appreciate the brilliance and wisdom of our Founding Fathers and their writings. Money well spent!

It is a gift for a tutor of my homeschool co-op. I appreciate the Biblical references and definitions of the earlier Webster dictionary.
Kathryn P on Nov 27, 2020
This is an indispensable resource for those who want to truly understand the English language and preserve the meaning of words from a classical and biblical perspective. Not only does it list word origins, but it quotes a variety of resources to convey contextual understanding: including Bible, poetry and great thinkers.
Linda G on Nov 20, 2020
I am a pastor and have used the online Dictionary for some time but I have always wanted to purchase my own copy. I believer there are items in the actual book that is not online. This is a good price from a company that promotes homeschooling and Christian ethics. God bless each of you.

I've wanted this book for years and finally decided to break down and get it. I love the rich definitions it uses and the fact that it harkens back to the original intel of words as they developed in our language.
Robyn S on Jul 17, 2020
I love books and I think it will be interesting to see the original definition of words and how they connect with the Bible. Joyce Meyer, a favorite speaker of mine, mentioned the book also.

Etymology included?
A shopper on Feb 11, 2021
BEST ANSWER: Etymology is included, but not in the " branched " sense. For example the word DIE as described in this dictionary : v.i. [ Sw. do ; Dan. doer. This appears to be a contracted word, and the radical letter lost is not obvious. The word dye, to tinge, is contracted from Dg, and the Arabic root signifies not only to tinge, but to perish ; which circumstance would lead one to infer that they are radically one word, and that the primary sense is to plunge, fall or sink. The Saxon deadian is evidently a derivative of the participle dead. See Dye. ]
How many pages?
A shopper on Feb 2, 2021
BEST ANSWER: It’s not actually numbered. The measurements are 11x8.5 inches (letter paper size) and it is 2.5 inches thick including the cover.
Is this book hardcover?
A shopper on Dec 28, 2020
BEST ANSWER: Yes. This dictionary is great if you are reading a lot of classical American and English literature. For more contemporary works it slows my student down as word use and context has changed so much over time and the definitions run deep. So we keep several dictionaries for comparison. I prefer older publish date dictionaries from second hand stores and also use online dictionaries for today's 'recrafting' of words.
What is the Font size please?
A shopper on Nov 8, 2020
How does this dictionary defines the words "unicorn" and "dragon"? I know Satan must be pleased to know how God's word has been questioned for its speaking of creatures such as unicorns, which were actual ox/like animals and not mythological creatures.I would like to find a dictionary old enough to give the actual meaning of words for God's glory.
A shopper on Sep 13, 2020
BEST ANSWER: Unicorn:
1. An animal with one horn: the monoceros. This name is often applied to the rhinoceros.
2. The sea unicorn is a fish of the whale kind, called narwal, remarkable for a horn growing out of his nose.
3. A fowl

Dragon:
1. A kind of winged serpent, much celebrated in the romances of the middle ages.
2. A fiery, shooting meteor, or imaginary serpent.
3. A fierce, violent person, male or female.
4. A constellation of the northern hemisphere
In scripture, dragon seems sometimes to signify a large marine fish or serpent
Is this dictionary unabridged?
Amber on Aug 3, 2020
BEST ANSWER: I believe it’s unabridged. It seems very complete and I love that it’s not a modern, watered-down version. It’s worded as Webster wrote it. Definitely a worthwhile purchase.
How large is the print?
A shopper on Jan 23, 2020
BEST ANSWER: Per the supplier: “The definitions are New Times Roman font size 9.”
is this a biblical dictionary?
A shopper on Jul 13, 2018
BEST ANSWER: On the first page of this book is the Dedication..
The Foundation for American Christian Education dedicates this facsimile edition to the Christian students of America, who, under the guidance of their parents and teachers, are developing a character of obedience to God's principles of life and liberty.
Does this dictionary have the explanations of word origins?
A shopper on Feb 17, 2018
Does this dictionary use the schwa (upside down "e") in the pronunciation given for each word?
A shopper on Sep 25, 2016
BEST ANSWER: This dictionary does not give any pronunciations for any words. The word appears in bold with syllables and emphasis marks but no true pronunciation breakdown like modern day dictionaries.

Excellent reference book. With the English language changing all the time I found this book to be enlightening and helpful on original meanings of words. Word roots are so important to understand. Also if you are reading a classical novel or book from long ago this would help tremendously with meanings of words we maybe don't hear much anymore.
