Summary: Excellent Expository Dictionary!
Review: In my humble opinion, Vine's Expository is the best out there! The authors start out by describing the Hebrew Old Testament and Greek New Testament Language and backgrounds. Aferwards, comprehensive definitions are supplied for each Old Testament and New Testament word. The Hebrew or Greek word is listed before the English translation. In many cases, several different contextual definitions are given for each word, much like in an English dictionary. A highly recommended buy, the title will prove to be a valuable resource for anyone wishing to better understand the Holy Bible!

Summary: Value-Packed Bible Research Tool
Review: The value of a one-stop Greek and Hebrew research tool is enormous. W. E. Vine and company have made an easy-to-use publication that will track many of the more asked-about words and phrases as read from the King James Version of the Bible. It is not exhaustive, but the material it contains for the words it does cover more than makes up for the price. It will perhaps surprise many students to discover that the way they traditionally view the word's meaning may be incorrect. Vine wanted to trace the word's original meaning and then examine how people changed it through time (such as the word "stauros" meaning "stake," not "cross," "Hallelujah" actually having the meaning of "Praise ye Jah," etc.). Since it is keyed into the Strong's Numbering System for tracking original word usage in the Bible's ancient manuscripts, it makes this fun and easy to use for the occasional student while powerful enough for the advanced user. This work definitely deserves a place on any Bible Student's shelves
