Danker's "Concise Greek-English Lexicon of the New Testament "will prove to be similarly invaluable to ministers, seminarians, translators, and students of biblical Greek.

Each entry includes basic etymological information, short renderings, information on usage, and plentiful biblical references. Greek terms that could have different English definitions, depending on context, are thoughtfully keyed to the appropriate passages. An overarching aim of "The Concise Greek-English Lexicon "is to assist the reader in recognizing the broad linguistic and cultural context for New Testament usage of words. "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.
