The EBook of A Greek-English Lexicon To The New Testament, written by Thomas Sheldon Green, is a comprehensive reference book for biblical scholars and students of the New Testament. It contains detailed definitions and explanations of over 5,000 Greek words used in the New Testament. The lexicon covers various aspects of the Greek language, including its grammar, syntax, and vocabulary. It also provides insights into the cultural and historical context of the New Testament era. The book highlights the importance of understanding the original languages of the Bible, particularly Greek, which was chosen as the medium for conveying the teachings of Jesus Christ to the Gentile world. The lexicon is designed to be a portable volume that confines itself to the definition of words included in the New Testament, providing fuller treatment than a larger volume covering the entire language. The author notes that the Greek of the New Testament differs materially from classical Greek and emphasizes the need for an especial apparatus for studying the Greek New Testament. The book provides insights into the peculiarities of the New Testament Greek, including its use of new words to convey new ideas, and highlights the importance of understanding the cultural and historical context in which the language was used. The lexicon is a valuable resource for students of the Bible who wish to understand the precise meaning of particular words uttered by those men to whom the Holy Ghost was given to bring all things to their remembrance. It provides detailed definitions and explanations of over 5,000 Greek words used in the New Testament, making it an essential tool for biblical scholars and students. The book also discusses the importance of understanding the cultural and historical context of the New Testament era, highlighting the significance of the Septuagint version of the Old Testament and its influence on the language of the New Testament. The author emphasizes the need for a thorough understanding of the Greek language in order to accurately interpret the teachings of Jesus Christ. The lexicon is divided into two main sections: the Main Lexicon and the Supplement to the Lexicon. Each section contains detailed definitions and explanations of Greek words used in the New Testament, along with references to their usage in various passages. The book also includes a table of contents and an index for easy reference. The author's goal is to provide a comprehensive resource for students of the Bible who wish to understand the original languages of the text. By providing detailed definitions and explanations of over 5,000 Greek words used in the New Testament, the lexicon aims to facilitate a deeper understanding of the teachings of Jesus Christ and the cultural and historical context in which they were given.
