million copies in print, it is considered the finest dictionary of
its kind.

definitions or explanations in idiomatic English for all Greek
terms.

renderings, information on usage, and plentiful biblical
references. Greek terms that could have different English

appropriate passages. An overarching aim of "The Concise
Greek-English Lexicon "is to assist the reader in recognizing the

words.
