I don't understand the other review here. Perschbacher's analytical lexicon is essentially identical to this one, and contains errors (according to Mounce himself, in a note he sent to the B-Greek list) that are corrected in Mounce's analytical lexicon. As for morphology, you probably can't get much more detailed than Mounce's book by that title -- but that's another work entirely. This book (or SOME up-to-date analytical lexicon) is essential for non-Greek students working from an interlinear, and also very helpful for those who've taken Greek and can't recognize all the forms by sight (WHO CAN!?!?).

If you are taking your first semester of Greek, and trying to learn how to translate the New Testament, you need this book. Every word in the New Testament is here so no matter how the Greek root has been mutated into some unrecognizable form, you can still figure it out. This book will help avoid sleepless nights puzzling over the Greek text.

This provides all the information you need to parse words in Greek translation assignments. It is well put together, and as user friendly as this type of resource can be. I recommend reading the "how to use" section of the preface in order to use this tool most effectively.

I am in my first year of New Testament Greek, and as a beginner I've found this lexicon easy to use, and it has most of the words I've needed. It spells out all the pertinent information about the word needed for a proper translation in an intuitive manner. This was the Lexicon recommended for my class by the professor and I'm very happy with it thus far. Again, I'm not an advanced student, so I can't speak to those who are further along, but if you're just getting started in a classroom environment, this is a good Lexicon.

Great tool for beginning Greek students, who take their learning experience seriously. This lexicon will cut down a lot of ambiguity that tends to rise in the study of beginning students.

I just finished my first year of Biblical Greek, and I have found this lexicon absolutely necessary. Especially for this summmer or take home translation assignments when I get stuck parsing a pluperfect or my brain is just fried...Bill Mounce to the rescue!! This lexicon lists every form found in the New Testament in alphabetical order and gives you the lexical form of the word just in case you haven't memorized it. The layout is amazingly simple to use. I used it this morning during bible study. This is money well spent. Study, practice, teach ezra 7:10.

This is a fabulous lexicon, but it poses risks for first year students. First year students who are serious about Greek need to be able to parse without lexical aid.

Do you honestly consider $33.00 for a hardcover lexicon "big money"? This is a bargain in any language. We have such easy access to knowledge and information now that you think it a "ripoff" to have to pay the equivalent of a night at a movie for something that a century ago would have cost a month's wages.

The lexicon was great. Perfect for my Greek class. It came on time, and was in good condition.

The strong point is that it is keyed to Mounce's "Morphology". But I am soooo tired of paying big money for a "serious" reference only to see it printed on cheap paper and with "glue-injected" binding...Just TRY to open this book fully and it will no doubt crack the CHEAP binding. Issued by Zondervan and printed in the U.S.A....Their wonderful A Reader's Greek New Testment, with "folded and stitched folios" binding, and quality slick paper was prined in China...It opens nicely in one's hand...not this stiff-brick.
