About A Dallas Willard Dictionary

If you're a fan of Dallas Willard's books, you've had this happen. You're reading along, having your mind blown by his description of the Kingdom of God, when you hit a word that makes no sense. It's a word you've never seen. Or, it's a word you've seen--even used!--but Dallas is using it to mean something far different than you've seen before.

So if you are looking for a definitive set of pure quotations, gleaned from Dallas Willard’s videos, books, interview, private conversations, and table scribblings, then organized by topic: this is not your book. What this book is: This is a dictionary, a volume to help you understand Dallas’ words and concepts so that you don’t get bogged down.

It tends to cite only materials that are easily available in written form so that you can do further research on your own. The Second Edition includes citations and references from all of Dallas Willard's books published before 2016, allowing the reader to notice the nuanced differences among the books.
