More Information

Thayer’s Greek-English Lexicon of the New Testament contains much helpful information on Greek words in the New Testament. Both accessible and thorough, it is a work well suited for the Biblical research student. Thayer’s lexicon not only gives dictionary definitions for each word, but also relates each word to its New Testament usage and categorizes its nuances of meaning. This edition of Thayer’s lexicon is coded with the Strong’s numbering system, which opens this tremendous store of word-study material to the novice Greek student as well as to those who do not know Greek at all. The entries are arranged in order of the Strong’s numbers, with the few out-of-sequence numbers being listed in an index at the back of the book for the reader’s convenience. Under the entries of each Greek word, Thayer’s lexicon gives the definition of the word. Just as you find in an English dictionary, there is often more than one meaning, so the various definitions are enumerated under a bold number 1., number 2., and so forth as applicable. In addition to the definitions, scripture references are also included. You often see Greek words or phrases in the midst of the definitions and scripture references. To understand these phrases requires at least some knowledge of New Testament Greek. As you continue to grow as a disciple and as a workman of the Word, you may choose to develop yourself in this category. Even if you do not understand the Greek words and phrases, there is much helpful information given in English that you can readily understand. We are certainly blessed in this day and time to have reference works such as Thayer’s Greek-English Lexicon of the New Testament that enable us to more fully understand the truth of God’s wonderful, matchless Word.
