American Dictionary

of the English Language

Noah Webster / Foundation for American Christian Education

Noah Webster's 1828 Dictionary, fascimile of the original edition, is a national treasure and a primary source tool for daily study. The Dictionary defines words according to their meaning during the founding generation (making it a prerequisite to understanding America's founding documents) from a Biblical context. Many definitions contain Scripture references and excerpts of Bible verses.

The Webster's 1828 Dictionary is a unique and essential tool for educating Christians. It has the greatest number of Biblical definitions of any reference. Roots are traced in 26 languages. Usage examples come from classical literature and the Bible. This dictionary becomes not only a tool for defining words Biblically, it becomes a way of thinking that forms your worldview. It will equip you for Christian leadership, strengthen your vocabulary, give you an edge in communicating your view and become your foundation for thinking and reasoning Biblically. This tool can be the turning point for you to be more effective in communicating Christian principles used in government, economics, and marketing or for your student to clearly understand how the Bible has influenced every area of life.
