Theological Lexicon of the New Testament

I was delighted to see that these three volumes have been translated. In my doctoral work I relied heavily on the commentaries on the Pastoral Epistles by Ceslas Spicq. I came to appreciate his expertise with words and their meanings in their original context. (He also is a conservative scholar, which was nice when it came to the Pastorals, but I digress.)
Spicq does not cover all the words in the New Testament; but those he does, he does so with eloquence and precision. Well worth the investment -- and you don't have to try and read them in French!

More than half the words in this set don't appear in any other standard reference book! A gold mine of information in convenient form, it's the fruit of a lifetime of study by a premier French biblical scholar, now ably translated into English. These word studies focus on uncovering the religious meaning of the language of the New Testament and are highly recommended to all those who work with the Greek text. |
