Frederick William Danker, a world-renowned scholar of New Testament Greek, is widely acclaimed for his 2000
revision of Walter Bauer's A Greek-English Lexicon of the New Testament and Other Early Christian Literature. With
more than a quarter of a million copies in print, it is considered the finest dictionary of its kind.
Danker's Concise Greek-English Lexicon of the New Testament will prove to be similarly invaluable to ministers,
seminarians, translators, and students of biblical Greek. Unlike other lexica of the Greek New Testament, which
give only brief glosses for headwords, The Concise Greek-English Lexicon offers extended definitions or explanations
in idiomatic English for all Greek terms.
Each entry includes basic etymological information, short renderings, information on usage, and plentiful biblical
references. Greek terms that could have different English definitions, depending on context, are thoughtfully keyed
to the appropriate passages. An overarching aim of The Concise Greek-English Lexicon is to assist the reader in
recognizing the broad linguistic and cultural context for New Testament usage of words.
The Concise Greek-English Lexicon retains all the acclaimed features of A Greek-English Lexicon in a succinct and
affordable handbook, perfect for specialists and nonspecialists alike.
