Summary

Frederick William Danker, a world-renowned scholar of New Testament Greek, is widely acclaimed for his 2000 revision of Walter Bauer'sA 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'sConcise Greek-English Lexicon of the New Testamentwill 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,TheConciseGreek-English Lexiconoffers 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 ofThe Concise Greek-English Lexiconis to assist the reader in recognizing the broad linguistic and cultural context for New Testament usage of words. The ConciseGreek-English Lexiconretains all the acclaimed features ofA Greek-English Lexiconin a succinct and affordable handbook, perfect for specialists and nonspecialists alike.
