Rating: Summary: Excellent study tools Review: As a leader of Precept Bible studies, I have found these tools to be extremely helpful. Being Greek himself, Spiro has much to offer in the correct interpreting of Gods Word. His insights to the culture and meaning of words has proven helpful and enlightening. These books are user friendly, while being fully detailed and in depth. More than once I have found out the real meaning of a word in the Greek that increased my faith and inticed my appetite to study more in depth more often. Much needed tools for any serious Bible student. I would highly recommend all the Zodhiates reference books. Get them all.

Rating: Summary: So awesome I would like it to be more convenient... Review: I have enjoyed using this Word Study Book. But I would really enjoy buying it on CD and having it on my computer. I am using in accompaniment with Precept Upon Precept Studies. I love how it aides in my study time with my Lord! Thank you.
Rating: Summary: The Complete WordStudy New Testament Review: I have had this complete series for 3 and 1/2 years and have enjoyed it immensely. The prices at Amazon are the best I have seen. {It *is* available on CD for any interested.} It is amazing to see how the translators would use differing interpretations of the *same* Greek word. This study opens up a whole new avenue to understanding the deeper things of God's Word. By all means it is a must for every serious student of the Scriptures.
Rating: Summary: Get McReynolds Review: I have to agree with the other writer that you are better off with the McReynold's (ISBN 0842382909) Word Study New Testament. It uses a more correct Greek text with a translation (NRSV) that matches that text.
Rating: Summary: good Koine Greek help Review: I just recently bought this book and wow it has helped me a lot in the short time that I have had it. It has really helped with my Greek (Koine) studies and is a real help in Biblical exegesis. The compiler and editor of the notes (Spiros Zodhiates, Th.D.) surely is qualified to do such a work. Also, all of the Greek comes from the Byzantine family (i.e.-Textus Receptus) so the reader can be sure the Greek is the correct text. Altogether, this is a valuable tool to those who wish to understand the Bible (KJV) in a deeper way. 2 Timothy 2:15

Rating: Summary: There's better in my book Review: If your a KING JAMES ONLY person, maybe this is your book...If your a bigger fan of the UBS/NA based translations(NIV,NASB,NRSV,NAB,AMP + many others) I would STRONGLY recommend getting McReynold's Word Study Interlinear over this one. McReynold's, like this this book, also has the Strong's # listed above every word, but in McReynold's you also have the running greek text as an interlinear. -- which I think would be very important for someone interested studying greek..... Zodhiates other book "The Complete Word Study DICTIONARY to the NT" is not a bad asset to have on your shelf! I would call his dictionary a poor man's BAGD (Bauer, Arndnt, Gingrich, Danker's -- top of the line Greek-English Lexicon). If you can't afford BAGD (who can??), Zodhiates Dictionary would be a good substitute.....but I would get McReynold's interlinear/word study instead of this book. I have both Zodhiates NT, and Zodhiates DICTIONARY and I use the Dictionary all the time (in conjunction w/McReynolds). -- I never use Zodh.'s NT. -- In fact, I should sell this thing, I need more room on my shelf!!! Zodh's Dictionary, and McReynold's Word Study/interlinear pair up for a great combination. You can take the Strong's # from McReynold's and use Zodh's Dictionary for more detailed study than is found in the back of McReynold's book. You will be much better off buying McReynold's interlinear/w.s. & spending your money on Zodh's DICTIONARY (not this book) If you are a KJ ONLY person, we have to talk!!! Eric
Rating: Summary: "Pulpit Helps" section missing Review: This is a great resource. However...it is missing information that was initially contained in what was known as the "Pulpit Helps" edition (it was given away free at seminaries). If they would add that information back in, it would indeed be very, very valuable.
