This series has long been a slightly shorter (while still being more information than most want) and more evangelically-friendly than Kittel's 10 volume. It covers the meaning of the Greek words beutifuly, and is geared more for the lay person and busy pastor than the Ph.D. student. It makes a good companion with Verbrugge's abridgement; you can read a abridged version of the word and, if you want more, move easily into this fuller series. If you love words and intend on doing serious work, this is a great set.

Publisher's description
|
The New International Dictionary of New Testament Theology is, first, a basic enlargement of the German Theologisches Begriffslexikon zum Neuen Testament. On its first publication in German it was recognized as a major reference work and has since become a more and more widely acclaimed as an important tool for understanding the theology and message of the Bible. Its translation and publication in English, together with the extensive revisions and additions, provide a unique source of information, invaluable to ministers, teachers, and anyone interested in the study as well as the teaching of the Bible. This set features concise discussions of the major theological terms of the Bible that are arranged in English alphabetical order and discusses the use of each key term in classical Greek, the Old Testament, the rabbinic writing, and the New Testament. It also contains a glossary of technical terms, full bibliographies and complete indexes that make the wealth of information in these volumes readily accessible. No prior knowledge of Greek and Hebrew is necessary. This set is second only to Kittel in scope. |
