This reference work offers a detailed Greek‑English dictionary focused on the language of the New Testament. Drawing on the most widely used critical editions—Lachmann, Tischendorf, Westcott and Hort, among others—it lists more than thirty‑four thousand entries, each explained with clear English equivalents and grammatical notes. A supplemental section adds further words and forms that appear in newer textual revisions, ensuring the tool stays current with scholarly advances.
The lexicon was prepared under the supervision of a leading Harvard professor of New Testament criticism, with contributions from seasoned scholars and editors of prominent religious publications. Its introduction explains why Greek, as the lingua franca of the early Christian world, was chosen to convey the gospel, and it situates the dictionary within a broader tradition of biblical language study. Whether you are a student, clergy member, or avid reader, the volume provides the essential vocabulary needed to engage the original texts more confidently.
