The concise Greek-English lexicon of the New Testament

Abstract

Frederick William Danker, a world-renowned scholar of Greek, is widely acclaimed for his 2000 revision of Walter Bauer's of the New and Other Early Christian Literature. With more than a quarter of a million copies in print, it is considered the finest dictionary of its kind. Danker's Greek-English of the New Testament will prove to be similarly invaluable to ministers, seminarians, translators, and students of biblical Greek. Unlike other lexica of the New Testament, which give only brief glosses for headwords, The Concise Greek-English Lexicon offers extended definitions or explanations in idiomatic English for all Greek terms. An overarching aim of The Concise Greek-English Lexicon is to assist the reader in recognizing the broader linguistic and cultural contexts for New usage of words. Each entry includes basic etymological information, short renderings, information on usage, and plentiful biblical references. And Greek terms that could have different English definitions, depending on context, are thoughtfully keyed to the appropriate passages. The Concise Greek-English Lexicon retains all the acclaimed features of A Greek-English Lexicon in a succinct and affordable handbook, perfect for specialists and nonspecialists alike.
