Anti-Nicene Fathers

• “Containing Definitions Of All Religious Terms:
• A Comprehensive View Of Every Article In The System Of Divinity;
• An Impartial Account of all the Principal Denominations.
• Together with an Accurate Statement of the Most Remarkable Transactions and Events Recorded in Ecclesiastical History”

by Rev. Charles Buck, with a forward by Rev. George Bush. Originally published 1802 in two volumes.

There are over 1500 entries in this dictionary.

(From a seller’s review of the 1831 ed.): 

“Despite a stated reliance on the plain meaning of the Bible and the dictates of common sense, Buck’s Theological Dictionary, first published in London in 1802, sought to provide a textual basis for the evangelical community. By combining brief essays on orthodox belief and practice with historical entries on various denominations, Buck provided an interpretive lens that allowed antebellum Protestants to see Christianity’s almost two millennia as their own history.

American evangelicals rapidly seized on Buck’s dictionary, ceding to it an almost canonical status as the textual interpreter of what it meant to be evangelical.

Buck’s Theological Dictionary still contains some interesting material, especially when it comes to Religious Sects. Some of the more obscure ones that you will find in this book include:

• Beareans,
• Brownists,
• Cereinthians,
• Circoncelliones,
• Dunkers,
• Hopkinsians,
• Illuminati,
• Joachimites,
• Libertines,
• Manicheans,
• Marcionites,
• Materialists,
• Monophysites,
• Moravians,
• Muggletonians (no, I did not make that one up, and it has nothing to do with Harry Potter),
• Novations,
• Origenists,
• Pelagians,
• Petrobrussians,
• Philadelphian Society,
• Photinians,
• Picards,
• Pricillianists,
• Rellyanists,
• Sandemanians,
• Serpentinians,
• Socinians,
• Supralapsarians,
• Swedenborgians,
• Theophilanthropists,
• Valentinians,
• Waldenses,
• Waterladians and others.

There is also some good content on Quakers, Shakers, Universalists and others as well. As for the various Protestant denominations, Judiasm, Catholicism, Islam (Mahometanism), etc. there is plenty on that as well.”

Like the other works of Hastings, this compilation seeks to aid pastors and general Bible readers in understanding Scripture. Hastings, James – Dictionary of the Apostolic Church

Sample Entry

Abyss
Hastings – Dictionary of the Apostolic Church DAC (hosted on theword-dictionary-modules.com )

This is the Revised Version rendering of the word ἄβυσσος which occurs in Luk. 8:31; Rom. 10:7; Rev. 9:1-2; 9:11; 11:7; 17:8; 20:1, 3. In Lk. and Roman Authorized Version translates ‘deep’; in Rev., ‘bottomless pit’-no distinction, however, being made between τὸ φρέαρ τῆς ἀβύσσου in Rev. 9:1-2 (Revised Version ‘the pit of the abyss’) and ἡ ἄβυσσος simply in the remaining passages (Revised Version ‘the abyss’). ἄβυσσος (from α intens. and βυσσός, Ion. βυθός, ‘the depth’) occurs in classical Greek as an adj. moaning ‘bottomless,’ but in biblical and ecclesiastical Greek almost invariably as a substantive denoting ‘the bottomless place,’ ‘the abyss.’ The word is found frequently in the Septuagint , usually as a rendering of the Heb. tehôm, and primarily denotes the water-deeps which at first covered the earth (Gen. 1:2; Psa. 103:6) and were conceived of as shut up afterwards in subterranean storehouses (Psa. 32:7). In Job 38:16 f. the abyss in the sense of the depths of the sea is used as a parallel to Hades; and in Job 41:23 (Septuagint ) the sea-monster regards the Tartarus of the abyss as his captive. In Psa. 71:20 ‘the abyss’ is applied to the depths of the earth, and is here evidently a figurative equivalent for Sheol, though it is nowhere used in the Septuagint to render the Heb, word. In the later Jewish eschatology, where Sheol has passed from its OT meaning of a shadowy under world in which there are no recognized distinctions between the good and the bad, the wicked and the weary (cf. Job 3:17; Ecc. 9:5), and has become a sphere of definite moral retribution, the conception of the abyss has also undergone a moral transformation. The Ethiopian Book of Enoch is especially suggestive for the development of the eschatological conceptions that appear in pre-Christian Judaism; und in the earliest part of that book the fallen angels and demons are represented as cast after the final judgment into a gulf (χάος) of fire (10:13, 14), while in 21:7 the chasm (διακοπή) filled with fire (cf. τὸ φρέαρ in Rev. 9:1-2) is described as bordered by the abyss. Apparently the abyss was conceived of as the proper home of the devil and his angels, in the centre of which was a lake of fire reserved as the place of their final punishment.

The previous history of the word explains its use in the NT. In Rom. 10:7; where he is referring to Deu. 30:13; St. Paul uses it simply as the abode of the dead, Sheol or Hades-a sense equivalent to that of Psa. 71:20. In Luk. 8:31 the penal aspect of the abyss comes clearly into view: it is a place of confinement for demons. In Revelation we are in the midst of the visions and images of apocalyptic eschatology. In Rev. 9:1-2 ‘the pit of the abyss’ sends forth a smoke like the smoke of a great furnace. The abyss has an angel of its own whose name is Abaddon (q. v. [Note: quod vide, which see.] ) or Apollyon (Rev. 9:11). From it ‘the beast’ issues (Rev. 11:7; 17:8), and into it ‘the old serpent which is the Devil and Satan’ is cast for a thousand years (Rev. 20:1-3).

Buck wrote A Theological Dictionary (1802). The first edition appeared in London in 2 vols., to which John Collett Ryland was a major contributor; there were further British and American editions. He was also author of other religious works, and a Collection of Anecdotes, 1799, which went through numerous editions. Charles Buck (1771–1815) was an English Independent minister and theological writer, known for his Theological Dictionary. Buck’s Theological Dictionary still contains some interesting material, especially when it comes to Religious Sects.




Buck’s Dictionary was a significant work in antebellum America, running to 50 reprints. It was conservative and evangelical in editorial line, making it a counterbalance to the A View of Religions (1817) of Hannah Adams which was of Unitarian and liberal tendency. Adams’s British editor, the Calvinist bookseller Thomas Williams, was much influenced by Buck’s work in producing his Dictionary of All Religions. Adams then adopted some of the ideas she found in Williams. George Bush (biblical scholar), who edited an American edition of 1830, stated that
Notices of all or nearly all the existing religious denominations of the United States are given, accompanied with historical sketches and ecclesiastical statistics.

Richard Knight of Tennessee, who became a Baptist preacher, was taught to read by his wife, but “never got further in ‘book learning’ than the Bible and hymn book, and Buck’s Theological Dictionary.”[48] It was cited as an authority by Finis Ewing; J. L. Wilson, an opponent, attacked its article on ministerial education. The American editions by William Woodward were expanded and revised: Ewing and Richard Donnell had written on the Cumberland Presbyterian Church for the 1814 edition. Woodward had produced an edition by 1807, which was adopted as a textbook.
A British reissue was edited by Ebenezer Henderson. For the 1833 edition, Henderson added 500 articles. He oversaw a further edition, in 1841. There was a German translation by Joseph Ehrenfried.

This is E.W. Bullinger’s “Figures of Speech Used in the Bible Explained and Illustrated.” However, it is in .dct.twm format. This module already/also exists as an ebook module.

For those interested in reading Bullinger’s Figures of Speech, I recommend the .gbk.twm version. For those interested in using Bullinger’s Figures of Speech, I highly recommend this dictionary format. Why?

Let’s say you’re reading a commentary, and the writer mentions the word “metonymy.” You know that Bullinger wrote about it, but how do you find it in TW’s .gbk.twm module? Not very easily! But if you set your dictionary to “Bullinger’s FigOfSp”, then when you click the word “metonymy” in any of the book views, the dictionary immediately moves to that definition. You can always use TW’s hand “lookup” feature, too. Never before has Bullinger’s excellent reference work ever been so accessible.

Originally copyrighted in 1898. It is still the definitive work on the subject of Biblical figures of speech. The text for this modules comes from a TheWord module built by David Cox. It has been reformatted as a TW .dct.twm module.

Special thanks to Mr. Bond for helping with the .dct.twm “titles and definitions” formatting. The module is much more useful thanks to him.
