New Testament Words

I have been brushing up on my Koine Greek. I picked it up when I was in BSc first year and that love is still here.William Barclay is a scholar known worldwide for his multi-volume commentaries. So I do not have to tell more about the way his writes.*** This volume follows his easy style.*** He picks up some very important Koine Greek words or synonyms (such as in the case of love) and explains the origin and development of these words in considerable details.*** He then gives a good amount of detail about the (often) special meanings these words acquire in the New Testament*** The book would be HIGHLY useful for every expository preacherNegative:*** The font size is very small and inconvenient to read*** It is amazing why publishers do not understand such things even in 21at centuryEvery Bible expositor should have a copy of this book

thanks

I highly recommend this book it can add more flavor to some of the words in the Christian Greek Scriptures. This is a nice addition to a theocratic library as reference material. An absolutely beautiful dictionary.

約70の聖書ギリシア語単語のそれぞれの意味や用例、歴史的背景などが記述されています。ギリシア語の単語を丸暗記するよりは、こうした本でゆったりと周辺的なことも学びつつ自然に覚えていくのも良い方法ではないかと思います。難点は、ギリシア語が英語つづりで示されていることです。ギリシア語のアルファベットと一対一対応の英語アルファベットが配されているので原語のつづりを発見するのは容易ですが、やはりギリシア語で記して欲しかったと思います。

I fell in love with this little book back in the 60s. My original copy lost its binding. I'm happy to have this replacement with its treasure house of semantic gems. Useful for lay, clergy and scholar.

If you want to dig a bit deeper into the meanings of Greek words in the NT then Barclay gives you an insight you've probably never considered. We gave this to a friend who has found it invaluable. We got this at a good price, and the seller was very quick to send it. Well done.
