Bible Note: Greetings 2nd Samuel 22! Vine's has several advantages: 1) It is inexpensive. 2) It is easy to use. 3) It covers both Hebrew and Greek (at least in most editions). 4) It does not require any knowledge of Hebrew or Greek. If you are looking for something which is more exhaustive, you can get the one volume "Kittle's Theological Dictionary of the New Testament". It deals with history of the the words in Judaism and Greek culture. The standard lexicon is probably Walte Bauer's, "A Greek English Lexicon of the New Testament and Other Early Christian Literature". However, it is a little harder to use and is pretty expensive (at least it was when I bought mine). I haven't used Thayer, but from what I've read, while his views may have been unorthodox at times, his scholarship was supposed to be first rate. But, I haven't used his work, so I can't say for sure. Nor have I used Nave's lexicon. I hope this helps! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
