Summary: Great for Preachers too!
Review: The publicity for this book says it is essential for students of NT Greek. I agree, but I also have found this to be an invaluable resource even though it is almost 30 years since I studied Greek in the classroom. When we read commentaries and other books in biblical studies we sometimes encounter words which we do not understand. When we are teaching or preaching we want to express something about the original text which we need to be sure about. For such purposes this book is ideal. It does not go into elaborate discussions, and the conciseness of its definitions suits the busy lifestyles of the present-day expositor of the Word. I recommend it highly for students and ministers of the Word.

Summary: Fantastic resource!!!!
Review: This is one of the most helpful little tools I have in my library! What is a parechesis? How about that word you see throughout many commentaries, paraenesis? What is the Didache? Did you forget exactly what was the Hexapla? What does it mean when a commentator says that the construction of a given passage is anacoluthon? There is no need to skip over important issues in the books you like to read. Matthew DeMoss has provided a concise and cogent dictionary that will become your New Testament study companion. It is so handy when I draw a blank concerning various terms. This work defines over 1700 terms of grammer, word study, textual criticism, exegetical method and New Testament criticism. It is user-friendly for the informed layperson, student, pastor, teacher and expert.
