Combining the two most popular word study tools into one manageable volume, this multi-purpose Bible language reference contains all the essentials you need to study the biblical text without having to know Hebrew or Greek. Provides definition, explanation, and concordance entries. In a manageable size and readable text, this book is neatly split in its two components: The New Strong's Concise Concordance: Built from The New Strong's Exhaustive Concordance of the Bible. Groups together variant spellings of proper names, allowing the concordance to be used with all modern translations-not just the King James. Eliminates some common words that are not likely to be used in searching for a particular passage. Condenses some heavily used words by attaching to them the most important passages, enabling the user to quickly find specific verses. Vine's Concise Dictionary of the Bible: A condensed combination of W. E. Vine's Expository Dictionary of New Testament Words and Nelson's Expository Dictionary of the Old Testament. Organized alphabetically by English words that represent the key vocabulary of biblical theology. Includes many other terms of interpretive importance that may be rich in cultural significance or otherwise obscure to modern readers. Each article contains the part of speech, the transliteration, the Strong's number for easy cross-indexing, and a concise and expository definition of the word or term. Dependable information in a clear presentation, this Concise edition of two classic Bible study resources is designed to better serve the needs of the standard user-from those in or preparing for ministry, to anyone interested in getting to know Scripture better.

The time-honored concordance now improved with large, readable type. As with the first Strongest Strong s, this edition is written with unprecedented accuracy and clarity by John Kohlenberger and James Swanson. Longstanding errors from the original have been corrected and omissions filled in. Word studies have been simplified and special care has been taken to maximize the thoroughness and ease of use. Special features include: * Computer-verified accuracy * Strong s numbering system for word studies in Greek and Hebrew * Goodrick-Kohlenberger numbers in the dictionary indexes that correspond to a growing library of reference tools that use these numbers * The most up-to-date Hebrew and Greek dictionaries * Cross-references to places and names used in Bible translations besides the KJV * Word counts of every word in the Bible * Fast-Tab locators * Clear, easy-to-read type"

In Methods for Luke, four leading scholars demonstrate how different interpretive methods provide insight into the Gospel of Luke. Introducing contemporary perspectives on historical criticism, feminist criticism, narrative criticism, and Latino interpretation, they illustrate these approaches to New Testament study by examining either the Parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus (Luke 16: 19-31 ) or Jesus' warning regarding the scribes and the story of the women with two small coins (Luke 20: 45-21:4). The use of two "set texts" enables readers to understand how method makes a difference in the reading of the same text.
