Another Precept must have...

In my opinion, one of the best resources for anyone in a Precept bible study.

Great NT dictionary

This far exceeds any other book or computer document that I've seen. I like the convenience of a book because I'm not on my computer that often. The words are set in Greek alphabetical order, so even if you don't know the STRONG'S number, the word can be readily found. The definitions and usage explanations are very thorough, for us non-Greek students.

Tremendously Valuable Resource

I find this to be a wonderful supplement to my reading of the New Testament. Like nearly everyone, I don't read Greek. However, I know that the New Testament was written in that language. This book gives the King James Version in English with the Strong reference numbers above each word and the Greek for that verse in the margin. After you read in here for awhile you begin to recognize and recognize Greek words. That feels really cool.In the back of the book are several useful aids. First there are some grammatical aids and a guide to transliteration (which helps if you are going to try and sound out the Greek). Next comes the editor's own Lexical Aids to the New Testament. This is incredibly useful. If the Strong number is in boldface you can look the number up in this section and find an extended discussion of the word's meaning and use in the New Testament. Next is a Greek Concordance with every Greek word given with its English counterpart's Strong Concordance number. Three are several other helps included in this volume including the Strong Bible Dictionary.You can spend hours, days, months, and years in this book and never use it up completely. There is just so much here for the student of the New Testament who wants to go beyond a surface reading of the English translation. There isn't anything wrong with English translations. It is just that this book will give you a richer understanding the choices the editors of your favorite translation made in putting the Greek original into our tongue.I am grateful to have this on my bookshelf.

a monumental work

For the beginning Bible student, I would recommend getting this dictionary sometime after getting Strong's, a Bible dictionary, and Vine's. It will give you a little more depth than Vine's, and the entry titles are written in Greek so that you can practice recognition of the alphabet. But don't worry, you can still use this dictionary even if you do not know any Greek because it also has an English translation reference index (also a win-win situation, like Vine's.) It is coded to Strong's just in case you really cannot find a particular word. You can compare the definitions of words with Vine's to get a second opinion, or you can just use it as a stand-alone reference. And not only are the words defined, but the author also gives you a lot of background information on important or difficult topics that you will not find in other dictionaries. This Word Study Dictionary, Strong's, a Bible Dictionary and Vine's will make an awesome start for your library. A ton of information here - a monumental work.

Excellent Resource !

This volume will truly enhance your time with God. This book will help you dig deeper to strengthen your relationship to Christ.
