Summary: Excellent Bible study tool!
Review: As a person interested in translating the Greek New Testament into English, Finnish and Swedish I find Perschbacher's lexicon to be invaluable to me. This because I believe in the doctrine of verbal and plenary inspiration and thus I think God's Word should be translated as accurately as possible. I use the formal equivalency technique, and without Perschbacher's lexicon this would be quite difficult for me since I have not studied New Testament Greek, except a few hours. The great plus with this book is that it lists every greek word of the New Testament, even the ones which are only in the Textus Receptus, from which I prefer to translate. The word definitions are brief but mostly fully accurate. Another plus is the Strong's numbers. Because of the size of the book Perschbacher does not give much Scripture references so one can check how the English versions have translated the words, but still he gives at least one for every word which has the Strong's number. Other works may be consulted for references. I have one tool in my library which nearly matches this, Analytical Greek New Testament by Friberg & Friberg. The superiority of Perschbacher is that he does not leave any word unparsed, as Friberg does, seeing their work uses an Alexandrian Greek text, omitting some words found only in the TR. On the whole this lexicon is a great tool, especially for such who are interested in finding out what God exactly says in the NT, for translators and persons regularly exegeting the Greek New Testament. If you believe every word of the Bible is God-breathed you will love this tool and have great use for it. If there is an NT analytical lexicon better than this I would be surprised. Buy it, you won't be disappointed.

Summary: Best Lexicon made
Review: I've seen a great many Greek Lexicons but none compare to this. It is utterly comprehensive in providing in alphabetical order every form of every Greek word used in the New Testament in clear and easy-to-read format. The first part of the book contains numerous tables of Greek paradigms along with a thorough explanation of each, making it a sort of mini-Greek grammar textook in itself, wonderful for handy reference. I had the hardbacks removed and the pages spiral-bound for easier carry and use. My other Lexicons are now collecting dust as I've found all I could ever want or need in this one superior volume.

Summary: Great for Beginners
Review: Though there are more scholarly Greek lexicons out there-this one looks great for the beginner who needs the meaning of a word and may not know its lexical form. This really is a great beginning Greek tool and I would highly recommend it.Jason Fletcher -- Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary
