Theological Dictionary of the New Testament (9 Volumes) (Theological Dictionary Of The New Testament Series)

The TDNT is generally considered to be the best New Testament dictionary ever compiled. Mediating between ordinary lexicography and exposition, it treats more than 2,300 theologically significant New Testament words. For each word it addresses such aspects as: Greek background, role in the Old Testament, use in extra biblical Jewish literature, and varied uses in the New Testament. From Eerdmans.

TDNT is an authorized and unabridged translation of Theologisches Worterbuch zum Neuen Testament. This work was first published in the German edition in 1933. It is designed for the use of intermediate and advanced Greek students. Each significant Greek word of the New Testament is generally presented in its secular Greek background; its role in the Old Testament (both in the Hebrew and the Septuagint); its use by Philo, Josephus, the rabbinical literature; its uses in the New Testament, which is sometimes classified according to synoptic, Johannine, Petrine and Pauline usage; and sometimes the Apostolic Fathers are included as well. There were more than 100 scholars who contributed to the work, including specialists in Old Testament, Septuagint, Hellenistic, Semitic and Rabbinic studies. Substantial bibliographies and extensive footnotes supplement the articles. Volume 10 is an index volume to the entire series, compiled by Ronald Pitkin.
