Exegetical Dictionary of the New Testament, Vol. 1

This is Volume 1 of a monumental three-volume work by an ecumenical group of scholars which serves as a complete dictionary of New Testament Greek as well as a guide to the usage of every New Testament word in its various contexts, thus making a significant contribution to New Testament exegesis and theology.

This work treats every word (though not all occurrences) in the Greek New Testament. All articles include standard lexical data, significant occurrences, and meaning--determined with emphasis on grammatical and theological context. Longer articles are accompanied by bibliographies and provide extensive discussion of the word (or word group) divided into sections emphasizing its importance to particular New Testament books or writers. Although there will be an English index in the third volume, thus making the dictionary accessible to those with little or no knowledge of Greek, many of the scholarly, complex articles will be difficult for nonspecialists. Specialists will find this dictionary thorough and up to date. Highly recommended for religious studies collections.
