Customer Reviews

Good reference material, typical Nelson poor quality
For those of us using the NKJV, this is very helpful to have. The quality of the information presented is excellent but I have to say the binding and paper quality are horrible. Nelson should be ashamed of themselves. The binding is of the same poor quality as their concordance. It feels like it's going to fall apart with any serious use. The paper looks to be recycled. It's a shame that Nelson doesn't have the integrity to produce reference materials that reflect the subject they are working with.

Elegantly done
The layout of the pages is clean and neat, the paper is nice, the size is convenient, the typeface is legible, and the word studies are useful and easy to find. True, notes on the parsing of each word would be useful too, but would probably mess up the clarity of the page. Guess we'll just have to actually study some Greek, if we want to know everything. But with some basic study of Greek (in the regretably unavailable book by Jim Found, Basic Greek in 30 minutes a day, I am able to look for myself at the Greek text and see exactly how the sentences are put together, the literal meaning of the Greek, and the translation choices that the NKJV has made. This book is well worth owning for anyone who wants to be able to think for themselves about the New Testament. And that is well worth thinking about!

simply excellent
If you want access to a full-featured New Testament, givng you the opportunity to view the Greek text in interlinear format, with translator's notes for the three main Greek sources, plus word studies on slected Greek words, all combined with the New King James Version, this is your book. Very reasonably priced for a hardcover. The New King James version is a slightly updated version of the origianl King James version, easier to read and understand but still in keeping with the version of the Bible amny of us were raised on. All-in-all, an instructive and enjoyable book for bible study.
