I love all things Mr. Mounce has done but I have a Vines and I bought this expecting something better than Vines but some words that are in my Vines are not in this dictionary. Also, when comparing the the same word and the information provided for each word, Vines wins again. I respect Mr. Mounce greatly, i even own his biblical Greek curriculum, but this falls a little short from what I expected. I really hate leaving a negative review, in fact, this is my first ever, but it is the truth.

For the price, this is by far the best dictionary for Biblical Greek and Hebrew out there. Its English to Greek or Hebrew is invaluable.

one of my best dictionaries i have bought. just wish it had more words.

This is an unbiased dictionary that uses the correct meaning of words and am also ordering the books for learning Greek by this author. Helped me greatly without having to refer to a bunch of different references to try to get the true non ecclesiastic meaning for some of the English translations. Ex. church- definition from Oxford is building. This word is not in the Greek texts. Ekklessia is the Greek word which means the assembly or congregation. It is the believers not a building that is important. One don't go to church he is the body of believers where ever they go. Great service from Christian book also.

My first criticism is the book is printed on paper that is too then. Second, it should be more exhaustive in scope.

What I like about it:

It is keyed to the New International Dictionary of New Testament Theology Abridged edition (NIDNTT-A) which is a bargain at $20.
