Frederick W. Danker is deservedly recognized as one of todaybs
foremost Greek lexicographers. Unique among contemporary biblical
scholars, Danker has lived to see the publication of two major
Greek dictionaries that he himself edited. While he was part of the
editorial team that produced the second edition of "A Greek-English
Lexicon of the New Testament and Other Early Christian Literature,"
he alone thoroughly revised the entire dictionary to produce the
third edition, popularly known as BDAG. Projects like these have
considerably advanced New Testament lexicography in the twentieth
century and have laid a solid foundation for further
lexicographical work in the twenty-first.
"Biblical Greek Language and Lexicography" celebrates the life
and work of Professor Danker. In character with his contribution to
Greek scholarship, the essays have been chosen to assist biblical
Greek students and their teachers to develop a deeper understanding
of aspects of Greek language and lexicography. Among the topics of
discussion are the way one discovers the meaning of words, current
tools available to students of language, and the approach being
used in the latest New Testament and Septuagint Greek dictionaries.
The book also features rich footnotes directing students to
important Greek language resources, a selected bibliography of
Dankerbs publications, an appendix listing BDAG precursors, and
four indexes -- biblical references, Greek words, Hebrew forms, and
grammatical and lexicographical terms.
Sure to interest scholars, teachers, pastors, and students, this
volume is both a worthy tribute to the career of Frederick Danker
and a valuable presentation of the state of the art in Greek
andbiblical language studies.
