Frederick William Danker, a world-renowned scholar of New
Testament Greek, is widely acclaimed for his 2000 revision of
Walter Bauer's "A Greek-English Lexicon of the New Testament 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 "Concise Greek-English Lexicon of the New Testament
"will prove to be similarly invaluable to ministers, seminarians,
translators, and students of biblical Greek. Unlike other lexica of
the Greek 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.
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.
