This is a decent dictionary, but it's not as good as the complete word study dictionaries. I got it for $20 and it served me well for a while, but I really don't use it anymore as it is not a complete dictionary, and there were often a few words that I couldn't find in it. It's worth the extra money for a more scholastic dictionary.

I agree with the editorial review This book is better than Vines and other older books. You don't have to know Greek or Hebrew to use this book since the words are transliterated [spelled] into English.Very reasonably priced book. Highly recommended.

This dictionary is poor indeed. To make it plain, Vine's dictionary may be simple enough to be used even by people not acquainted with the Biblical languages or the linguistic technical terms, but many times it offers enlightening information even to scholars. On the contrary, Renn's dictionary says less than the basic. To give an example, the very important article "Create" says nothing (!) about the use of "qanah" in the Old Testament. The same lemma, mentioning the word "ktizo" in the New Testament, says nothing about its background and its classical use. Just compare these articles with the ones of Vine, and you will understand what I mean. Hence, I would recommend this dictionary only to people who find even Vine's dictionary difficult to read.

An easy-to-use expository dictionary. It is more modern than Vines, but I do not know how exhaustive it is compared to others. Good quality though.

TYPOS (5179 Strongs)

Typos is a noun occurring sixteen times with the varying sense of 'pattern', 'type', 'example'. The meaning pattern is evident in two contexts:

Acts 7:44; Heb 8:5 refer to the 'pattern' of the tabernacle as revealed by God to Moses on Mt Sinai. Then, in Titus 2:7, typos refers to the 'pattern' or 'model' of good works that Paul desires Titus to demonstrate to his congregation.
