Greek-English Lexicon of the New Testament: Based on Semantic Domains

Rating:
Summary: Misleading
Review: As one review already noted, Volume 1 is useless without the supplement. Unfortunately, I had already submitted my order before finding out this information.

Rating:
Summary: Pragmatic Usefulness
Review: Only the domains are included in this book. This is Volume 1. Volume 1 is essentially useless without the indexes which is Volume 2. Buy the books as a set, ISBN: 0-8267-0343-7

Summary: The easiest lexicon to use for general translation work.
Review: This is the easiest lexicon to use for general translation work, and the fastest one to look things up in. Most lexicons try to give you a feeling for the different kinds of meanings that a word might have, then point you to examples which illustrate each meaning. To really understand them, you have to digest the examples carefully. This lexicon gives fewer examples and more complete definitions, which makes it much easier to grasp the meaning quickly. It also lets you look up words in English and translate them into Greek, which can be useful for exercises that require you to write Greek. To use this lexicon, always start with the second volume and look up the word in the alphabetical list. If you don't, you will never figure out how to use it.
