New Testament Commentary

A Greek-English Lexicon of the New Testament and Other Early Christian Literature

4 stars (The best dictionary for NT Greek) - This is the *best* NT Greek dictionary for students of the Greek New Testament. Thorough scholarship; many entries exhaustively categorize word meanings and all provide references to other ancient literature. A necessity for doing scholarly work in the New Testament, and a serious reference tool for the pastor or student. If you do any work in the NT, you *need* this lexicon. The 3rd edition revamps the earlier glosses and attempts to provide definitions for words. Also has words from the Apostolic Fathers and other early literature. However, the price is VERY STEEP. Especially for students. If you are a student on a tight budget (and don't need to purchase the latest and greatest copy of Bauer), I would recommend doing obtaining a used copy of the 1st edition, which can be found for under $30 at the time of this writing. The glosses are basically the same in 1st and 2nd edition, the only thing that is changed are that more mistakes are corrected. The 3rd edition's definitions are nice, but in general I find it is more helpful to get glosses to point me in the right direction and use a concordance/search program to get a better understanding of how a word is used in the NT. 5 stars (THE Greek lexicon for New Testament research) - For anyone serious about studying the New Testament or New Testament Greek, this is the lexicon of choice. Perhaps that which sets it apart the most is its thorough references to early Christian literature at the time. This gives us a fuller understanding of what words actually mean. Too often we are confined to other examples within the canon of Scripture itself for further light on what a word means. Here we are taken much further. The very informative "Foreword to the Revised Edition" and "Introduction to the Lexicon of the Greek New Testament" are included, and should be read for a greater understanding of how the dictionary works, the history of the lexicon and some tips on Ne...

The Sermon on the Mount- The Key to Success in Life and the Lord-s Prayer - An Interpretation

4 stars (Thought-Provoking) - Although I haven't finished the book yet, I find it very thought-provoking, which is probably why I haven't finished it yet. I have to read it slowly and digest it and think about it and then read what I just read over again. It is not a book to ready quickly. I think that it is an honest straight-forward guide to living a truly christian life as Jesus Christ intended without all the laws added and made up by the different religions. 5 stars (Get this book) - Possibly one of the greatest books ever on the Sermon on the Mount and the Lord's Prayer. If you really want to understand how these short teachings of Jesus are the blueprints for changing your entire life, GET THIS BOOK. 5 stars (PROFOUND! The TRUE Meaning of the Words of Jesus) - I feel extremely fortunate to have read this spiritual gift. Emmet Fox, although no longer physically alive, brings humanity one of the most profound books I have ever read on the true meaning of what Jesus taught. The Sermon on the Mount is a SPIRITUAL classic, that I would (and do) recommend to anyone, no matter what your religion or doctrine may be, because the genuine spiritual meaning (so beautifully explained in this exceptional text) of what Jesus was trying to convey to humanity, will REALLY open your eyes, and your heart to the laws of this universe, and there is no religion or dogma attached whatsoever. This is the kind of book, at least for me, where no matter HOW much I "thought" I knew, shows me once again, how much more there is to understand. To fully live the words in this book, in all of your thoughts, words, motives and deeds will DIFINITELY bring you a life of profound inner peace, and this will be a beacon for world peace. I wish every world leader could read this book. It is the metaphysical and immutable laws of the universe, the true "answers" to what Jesus was teaching, and it is given in modern language, while the book is fascinating and an exceptional read. There a...
