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.
Rating: Summary: Very User Friendly and Easy to Use Review: This word study New Testament is a very valuable resource I have on my shelf. I use it on a regular basis and it takes so little time to find what I'm looking for. Within 5 minutes of opening the box that this came in, I was using it. I didn't have to spend forever familiarizing myself with the layout and getting lost in the details. It doesn't get so scholarly that it is only relevant to the few who are on that level. Most Christians don't need anything more advanced than this, though the New testament Dictionary makes a nice addition. This is as in depth as most Christians require. You don't need to be fluent in Greek to be able to use this resource to its fullest. There are great sections that make this resource a greta addition to your library; introductions to each book, exegetical notes, grammatical explanations, a concordance that works with Strong's numbers. The part that I find the most useful is that this book is very easy to use. If you teach from the bible, this would make a great addition to your resource library. It doesn't get so detailed that it applies to a selected audience. This book contains what people will find relevant. Any more detailed than what's in this book and most people don't really care about it because it isn't relevant.
