This is not a review as such but a summary and a warning.

This concordance lists the greek words in (greek) alphabetical order but the scripture contexts etc. are all in English, not in Greek. If your Greek is poor, this book will be helpful to you. If you already have at least 1st year Greek (i.e. if you've gone through Mounce's Basics of Biblical Greek or something similar), Then you will probably find this book too basic.

I ordered it and only on examination did I find that I should have ordered instead the companion volume to this, The Exhaustive Concordance to the Greek New Testament also by Kohlenberger. The Exhaustive Concordance lists the words and the contexts in Greek (and is 4 or 5 dollars cheaper!).

This volume of concordance to New Testament Greek is a must for every reader of the Bible who wants to get an easy and fast access to where words are found in the New Testament. The advantage of this concordance over a Greek to Greek concordance is obviously that in this Greek-English concordance the key words are listed in Greek characters, with a direct transcription to English and the meaning of the word. I addition the excerps from the Scriptures are rendered in English with the key word in the text highlighted, so it is in fact very easy to use, also for the student who is not very much accustomed to Greek. Along with a Greek-English dictionary you practically don`t need any other aids for delving into New Testament Greek.

A concordance is an indispensable tool for any student of the Bible. This volume is an incredibly helpful resource for study especially in relation to preaching, and teaching. However, if one did not know Greek, or at least the alphabet and the word he or she was looking for it would be too difficult and time consuming to really be helpful. Money would be better spent on an NIV exhaustive concordance, or even buying both the NIV concordance from Zondervan, as well as this one. The G/K numbers correspond. Of all word study tools the concordance is most basic and necessary. This one is put together nicely and is easy to use even with only a basic understanding of Greek.

If you want to better understand the words used in the original Greek of the New Testament, this will be a big help. Even better would be to use this reference after you have worked through "Greek for The Rest of Us" by William Mounce.Greek for the Rest of Us

Definately a must for any serious Bible enthusiast. You are able to see how many times a greek word was used in the new testament and how the NIV translated it.

The item was brand new and the seller was very prompt in delivery.I am very pleased
