The dictionary is primarily (although not exclusively) pastoral, bringing to priests, religious, teachers, and educated laity a deeper understanding of the Bible and its central place in the life of the Church. Four types of articles comprise this dictionary: introductory articles, major articles, secondary articles, and brief entries.

With more than five hundred insightful and instructive entries, this practical pastoral dictionary is a primary resource for preaching and liturgy preparation, classroom teaching and learning, and Bible study and reflection.
