From the Back Cover
The Analytical Lexicon to the Greek New Testament was created to aid in the study of the Greek New Testament, using sophisticated computer resources to ensure an accurate, helpful, and in-depth analysis of the word forms that make up the New Testament. Its combination of features sets it apart from all previously published analytical lexicons:

· Based on the UBS 3d edition (revised). · Includes both accepted and variant readings · Consistent with today’s standard Greek lexicons · Gives the frequency of each inflected form, verse references for forms that occur only once · Includes Goodrick-Kohlenberger numbers for all words · Includes principal parts for all verbs · Contains a grammatical section with a discussion of paradigms and explanations as to why paradigms are formed as they are

Most significantly, The Analytical Lexicon to the Greek New Testament is keyed to the author’s Morphology of Biblical Greek, which explains in detail why some Greek words follow certain patterns and other Greek words follow seemingly very different patterns.

The Analytical Lexicon to the Greek New Testament is more than a tool for quick reference—it provides the Greek student or scholar with an index to another body of literature.

Customer Reviews

Great Analytical Lexicon
I don't understand the other review here. Perschbacher's analytical lexicon is essentially identical to this one, and contains errors (according to Mounce himself, in a note he sent to the B-Greek list) that are corrected in Mounce's analytical lexicon. As for morphology, you probably can't get much more detailed than Mounce's book by that title -- but that's another work entirely. This book (or SOME up-to-date analytical lexicon) is essential for non-Greek students working from an interlinear, and also very helpful for those who've taken Greek and can't recognize all the forms by sight (WHO CAN!?!?).

You need this book
If you are taking your first semester of Greek, and trying to learn how to translate the New Testament, you need this book. Every word in the New Testament is here so no matter how the Greek root has been mutated into some unrecognizable form, you can still figure it out. This book will help avoid sleepless nights puzzling over the Greek text.

Mounce's Analytical Lexicon
This provides all the information you need to parse words in Greek translation assignments. It is well put together, and as user friendly as this type of resource can be. I recommend reading the "how to use" section of the preface in order to use this tool most effectively.
