We all learned how to use those big, paper dictionaries in school \u2014 but what about a digital dictionary?<\/em><\/strong> There are so many creative, innovative ways to find helpful information. Check out these three ways of using Bible dictionaries in the Olive Tree Bible App.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

GET INFO FROM YOUR BIBLE DICTIONARIES WHEN YOU NEED IT MOST<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Resource Guide can you show you information related to the passage you’re reading. All you have to do is open your favorite Bible translation in the main window. Then, open the Resource Guide<\/a> in the Study Center. As you read through your Bible text, the Resource Guide searches through all the resources in your library to find related Bible study content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"How<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

If you look through the Resource Guide results, you will see the section headings \u201cPeople,\u201d \u201cPlaces,\u201d and \u201cTopics.\u201d There you will find articles from resources, like Bible dictionaries<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"How<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Then, click on the person\/place\/topic you want to learn more about. I chose \u201cNebo\u201d in this example. We’ll look at the New Interpreter’s Dictionary of the Bible (NIBD)<\/a>\u00a0within the Resource Guide as an example.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We do love the NIBD, but here are some of our other favorite Bible dictionaries:

– Theological Dictionary of the Old and New Testaments<\/a>
– Vine’s Complete Expository Dictionary<\/a>
– Mounce’s Complete Expository Dictionary<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"How<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019ll notice that the resource has the words \u201cArticle on Nebo<\/em>\u201d underneath the book cover.\u00a0So, if you tap on the book cover, you’ll go directly to the article within the New Interpreter’s Dictionary of the Bible (NIBD)<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oh! And as you read, the Scripture references become hyperlinks! You can tap to read them like this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"How<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

FIND WHAT YOU WANT IN 3 TAPS INSTEAD OF FLIPPING PAGES \u2014 DIGITAL BIBLE DICTIONARIES<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You can also use these dictionaries in a more traditional sense.\u00a0Just pull down the Go To menu and scroll through this awesome resource as you would a hard-copy dictionary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"How<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

THE LOOKUP FEATURE IN DIGITAL BIBLE DICTIONARIES<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Highlight a word and select “look up.” Then you can choose which resource you want to search in. Then, follow the same steps as you would in the resource guide option above.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"How\"How<\/figure><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

PICK OUT A DICTIONARY<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
