4.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent Resource for Greek Studies, February 1, 2003
This review is from: Exegetical Dictionary of the New Testament (Hardcover)
I have several lexicons and I find myself using this more often than not. Many entries give needed background information, such as word uses in classical Greek and the Spetuagint, etc. like most mid-level lexicons. I also own the 3 volume work by Colin Brown, but that is a nightmare to try and figure out how to use. These 3 volumes stick to the practical format of alphabetical listings of the words, which means you need to know how to read Greek to find the word, but is time-saving nonetheless. Interpretational slants are largely absent from this work, unlike some other lexicons I have, making this a trustworthy set.
This lexicon is good for those of us who lack the spare cash to go by Kittel's 10-volume behemoth.
