Opis

The English translation of the three-volume "Exegetisches Worterbuch zum Neuen Testament," this monumental work by an ecumenical group of scholars is first of all a complete English dictionary of New Testament Greek. Going beyond that, however "EDNT" also serves as a guide to the usage of every New Testament word in its various contexts, and it makes a significant contribution to New Testament exegesis and theology. "EDNT's" thorough, lengthy discussions of more significant words and its grouping of words related by root and meaning (with alphabetical cross-references) distinguish it from simpler Greek-English lexicons. Advancing the discussion of the Theological Dictionary of the Old Testament, "EDNT" summarizes more recent treatments of numerous questions in New Testament study and takes into consideration newer viewpoints of linguistics."
