2.0 out of 5 stars No greek at all, August 7, 2003

This review is from: Word Pictures in the New Testament (Hardcover)

Everybody knows Robertson's Word Pictures to be an excellent reference for Bible study.

But I was deceived by this edition of his work: no greek, no grammar explained. It is an abridged version !

Maybe I made an error in choosing this edition, but don't make the same, and buy the original version !

This review is from: Word Pictures in the New Testament (6 Volumes) (Hardcover)

Save your money and buy the 6 volume set. Dr. Robertson never intended for this work to be missing his transliteration of the Koine Greek and expected that the scholar would have the W&H text open as the word pictures were being explained. Milk may be good when condensed - this clearly isn't.

This review is from: Word Pictures in the New Testament (6 Volumes) (Hardcover)

You know who A. T. Robertson is. His Greek grammar is the standard against which all other grammars are judged.

In this 6 volume set, Robertson analyzes a key word or phrase from almost every passage of the New Testament. Not only does he give the syntax, but he also gives a good deal of background on each word, such as where else it is found, as well as the connotations of the orginial Greek.

If you are a pastor, this book will be of great help to you in your sermon preparation. It will give you a good amount of material to draw on for sermon illustrations.
