Customer Reviews

A useful little volume for reader's of the Greek NT
As any student of the Greek Testament will know (and lament), there are a lot of words in the New Testament that occur very infrequently - in fact, a lot of them only appear once.

When the student has learned, let's say all the words that appear more than 20 times, the law of diminishing returns starts to kick in. Yes, you COULD learn all the rest, but that time might be better spent getting to grips with advanced grammar. But it's a bit of a pain if you continually have to flick through a dictionary.

And that's where this little book comes in. It follows the order of the books in the NT. Suppose you're reading Ephesians. If you turn to Ephesians in this book, you'll find a 'must know' vocabulary of the most frequently appearing words. Thereafter, as you read through, this lexicon goes with you, verse by verse. There's a word you don't understand in Ephesians 1:6? Look at 1:6 in the lexicon, and you'll find it there. A great timesaver, adding to the enjoyment of reading the original text, but without resorting to the cop-out of an interlinear version (which makes you THINK you've understood the Greek, when you really haven't)
