Product Description

Since its publication in 1852, George Wigram's Analytical Greek Lexicon has gone through a host of revisions and titles as succeeding generations of Greek scholars have sought to improve on it. Unfortunately, none of those revisions fully corrected the troublesome parts that frustrate modern users: some entries are incompletely parsed, others incorrectly identify the lexical form, others are inconsistent in identifying forms, and still others are out of alphabetical order.

In The New Analytical Greek Lexicon, every entry has been rechecked and revised. In addition to correcting the problems mentioned above, other improvements include: misspellings have been corrected; unnecessary duplicate entries have been removed; textual variants and alternative readings have been noted and identified; New Testament references have been added for similar and identical forms having two or more parsings; references to the numbering used in Strong's concordance have been added to facilitate study and cross-referencing for the less technical user; and the introductory grammar section has been updated.

The entire Lexicon has been retypeset in a clear, modern typeface making it easier to read. This accurate new edition will certainly become a standard reference for Greek students and all those wishing to better understand the Greek New Testament.

Customer Reviews

This one's hard to beat
An extremely valuable tool for the novice and advanced students. Every word of the New Testament is listed here in it's declined form so the reader can find a word without knowing it lexical form. There is a good introduction that includes a lot of useful information.
The definitions are a little skimpy. They consist mainly of a list of synonyms. An attractive feature, though, is that when a word has more than one meaning, this lexicon lists examples of verses where a particular meaning is used. If the word is part of a common idiom, it also lists that as well.
For the truly nit-picky, this lexicon always defines verbs in the infinitive rather than 1st person, singular. "legw" means "I say" but the definition is given as "to say."
The price is unbelievable. I wanted a lexicon but, since I'm always broke, I figured I'd buy a cheap one now and get a "good" one later. After using this one for a while, I don't see any need to buy another.

An excellent parsing resource
This book parses or declines each and every word in the Greek New Testament. I'm in my second year of Greek study and it is a great help.

Best Lexicon made
I've seen a great many Greek Lexicons but none compare to this. It is utterly comprehensive in providing in alphabetical order every form of every Greek word used in the New Testament in clear and easy-to-read format. The first part of the book contains numerous tables of Greek paradigms along with a thorough explanation of each, making it a sort of mini-Greek grammar textook in itself, wonderful for handy reference. I had the hardbacks removed and the pages spiral-bound for easier carry and use. My other Lexicons are now collecting dust as I've found all I could ever want or need in this one superior volume.
