Professor Bromiley translated the entire 10 volumes of Kittel, and so he was uniquely qualified to create this abridgment. This book is roughly equivalent to Verbrugge's abridgment and is really, really good. I lived on this text for years before Verbrugge's was available. It gives the serious student all he or she needs to find out what words mean, and avoids some of the errors that have been leveled against the ten volume set. It also makes it easy to move from this abridgment to the entry in the 10 volume set if you want to know more about a word. No student of the New Testament should be without this text or Verbrugge's. If price is a consideration, this book is more than double the price of Verbrugge's, but it is certainly not three times as good.

Publisher's description

2404: Theological Dictionary of the New Testament,  Abridged in One Volume

The monumental 10-volume Kittel's TDNT is considered the best NT dictionary ever compiled. Yet its size and technical nature have put off many Bible students who might otherwise have profited from its essential insights. The one-volume "Little Kittel" overcomes this difficulty, focusing particularly on biblical usage. All other material is greatly reduced or eliminated.
