On the grape Vine's
This book is very good for helping to understand the deeper meaning of words in the Christian Greek scriptures but personally I found the Strong's I bought at the same time even better. If you're looking for something to really help you with the flavour of the words in context get an amplified bible - it was great. If you can afford them get all 3!

very good - what does the word mean?
This is a very good book - if you want to know what an actual biblical word really means then you cannot get better than Vines - as recommended by Bible students the world over.

Helps you get to the real truth of Hebrew and Greek words and their various shades of meaning which lamentably is not always translatable in complete accuracy when entering into the English medium.

A good book and worth the investment for all Bible students and preachers who wish to delve deeper than the English permits.

Good contents, poor presentation hence only 4*'s
Let's be clear 'you get what you pay for'. Essentially if you get a 1,300+ page hardback for ~£10 something's going to give. I won't dwell on the content since I assume everyone who's looking at this already knows what this is - if you don't, it contains about 130 pages of ~100-150-ish Hebrew OT words from Vine's unfinished notes and 1,000+ pages of Greek words from the NT (KJV English to Greek, with RV 'corrections'). A kind of English-Greek-English dictionary/thesaurus. I'm not sure about the 'concordance' bit.

So what gives? Two words: paper and printing. This is all printed on very 'nasty' paper and poorly reproduced. Well what did you/I expect for a tenner?

Summary: you get the contents but at the expense of the 'tactile' experience. You 'pays your money and you takes your choice'. Good for 'students' on a budget but personally I wish I'd bought a better version.
