4.0 out of 5 stars caveat emptor, February 14, 2007

By	B. Marold "Bruce W. Marold" (Bethlehem, PA United States) - See all my reviews (TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

Other reviewers point out that this is a nice supplement to the similarly bound 'The Greek New Testament' by Aland, Aland, Karavidopoulos, Martini, and Metzger, published with a rich matching red leather cover by the Institute for New Testament Textual Research and 'Deutsche Bibelgesellschaft'. One thing you want to be aware of is that this entire dictionary appears at the end of this Greek edition of the New Testament. So, if you have this complete New Testament edition, you don't need the dictionary!

Otherwise, everything the other reviewers say about the book is true, especially the fact that it is a convenient and attractive resource.

3.0 out of 5 stars Useful, but pricey . . ., April 17, 2001

By	Matthew W. Dunn "Matthew W. I. Dunn" (Sparta, N.J. USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Concise Greek English Dictionary of the New Testament (Hardcover)

This is a nice supplement to Kurt Aland's Greek New Testament. People around the time of Jesus spoke Koine Greek, a popular version of the Classical tongue epitomized by Homer. Since it was the "lingua franca" of the Mediterranean (Latin wasn't prominent yet.), the teachings of Jesus and the writings of various Apostles were written down in that language. As a dictionary for use with a Greek New Testament, it is pretty comprehensive and very helpful. But, it would not be helpful in trying to translate, say, Thucydides. It will, however, be quite useful in studying the Christian scriptures in the original tongue.

5.0 out of 5 stars It does the job it sets out to do., March 31, 2006

By	William W. Zeitler (Riverside, CA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Greek: English Dictionary of the New Testament (Bible Students) (Paperback)

It's a NEW TESTAMENT Greek dictionary -- you'll need a general Greek lexicon for anything else. It's a small, very portable dictionary you can take with you with your pocket NT. It's enough to get you by when you're stuck trying to read a passage. It does this very well. Not intended for exegesis -- for that you should start with _A Greek-English Lexicon of the NT & Other Early Christian Literature_, Bauer & Danker.
