Word Study Tools
What meanings, associations, and significance did/does this word/name have?
Concordances
Where/where else does this word appear in the Bible?
Note: Be sure the concordance/harmony you are using is of the same English translation you are using, or the words might not match! A King James Version concordance won't work with the NRSV translation.
Atlases

P.S. The catalog shows LMU links, but these do not work for books! Check LINUS instead for title or ISBN.
There are numerous Reference books on the Bible and on religion and individual religions. They range from dictionaries to encyclopedias, from concordances to commentaries. Some are also online, but many are not. Try to find the best reference book for your particular purpose, rather than just stick to one format! A Reference librarian can help with this. ASK!
