5.0 out of 5 stars An Excellent Choice for a Manual Lexicon, November 5, 1999

By	Garland H. Shinn "Garland" (San Diego, California) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

For the serious student of New Testament studies no better short lexicon can be found than Abbott-Smith. While somewhat dated, it is still valuable in that it provides significant synopses of each Greek word used in the New Testament. In addition, it provides the Hebrew word(s) which are translated by any particular Greek word in the Septuagint (LXX). For a quick reference, this lexicon has not been surpassed.

5.0 out of 5 stars The most usable and dependable of the lexicons, December 8, 2000

By	Athanasios Bailey "orlapubs" (HI USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: A Manual Greek Lexicon of the New Testatment (Paperback)

There is no point in repeating what the other reviewers of this excellent work have said. I would emphasize that it constitutes an excellent concordance . . . and is the only lexicon I know of that mentions the relation of energeia to dynamis . . . ignorance of which causes the NT energy words to be mistranslated in English versions of the NT. The Greek words should be rendered as "energy, energize, energetic" and be understood as the realization or actualization of a paired dynamis "potential power."

This review is from: A Manual Greek Lexicon Of The New Testament (Paperback)

This Greek lexicon has been very helpful in learning NT Greek; however, it is missing many words and can be frustrating for a new student who simply does not know the grammar rules and so on. This coupled with a Strong's would be a perfect team (seeing as Strong's isn't so portable!)

I'll be using this one for a while.
