Editor: Colin Brown
THE NEW INTERNATIONAL
DICTIONARY OF NEW TESTAMENT
THEOLOGY is, first, a basic translation, and
then an extensive revision and considerable
enlargement, of a German work entitled
Theologisches BegriJfslexikon Zum Neuen
Testament. On its first publication in German
this was recognized as a major work of
reference, and has since become more and
more widely acclaimed as an important tool
for understanding the theology and message of
the Bible. Its translation and publication in
this new English edition, together with the
extensive revisions and extensive additions,
have enlarged it so as to make it a unique
source of information, invaluable to ministers,
teachers, and anyone interested in the study as
well as the teaching of the Bible.
What the reviewers say:
"This Dictionary had already proved its
worth in its original German form, and the
present revised and enlarged English edition
will make it a much appreciated companion to
the New Testament for students, preachers,
and teachers throughout the English-speaking
world." (F. F. Bruce, University oj Manchester)
"Indispensable for advanced theological
students and scholars as well as for ordinary
Bible students." (Christianity Today)
"The ministry of any pastor would be
enriched immeasurably if he would keep this
dictionary on his desk for constant reference
during the time of sermon preparation .... it
is perhaps the best buy of the year." (Eternity)
"It is an excellent work . ... I am impressed
with the significance of this dictionary. It is
characterized by the most thorough
scholarship." (Donald W. Burdick, Conservative
Baptist Theological Seminary)

THE NEW INTERNATIONAL
DICTIONARY OF NEW TESTAMENT
THEOLOGY is a unique source of
information, invaluable to ministers, teachers,
and anyone interested in the study as well as
the teaching of the Bible.
Some of its main features are:
• Concise discussion of the major theological
terms of the Bible
• Arranged in English alphabetical order;
does not demand prior knowledge of Greek
or Hebrew
• Discusses the use of each key word in
classical and secular Greek, the Old
Testament and Rabbinic writings, the New
Testament usage and reference
• English edition based on Theologisches
Begriffslexikon zum Neuen Testament,
extensively revised and enlarged
• Glossary of Technical Terms giving concise
definitions of specialist expressions and
usage in Vol. I
• Index of Hebrew, Aramaic, Greek, and
theological subjects (Vol. I and 2 separately
indexed, Combined Index to all three Vols.
in Vol. 3)
• Full and up-to-date bibliographies
• International team of contributors
The three-volume set of The New
International Dictionary rif New Testament Theology
is a treasure house of knowledge concerning a
study of Greek words. But it is so written as to
be usable by pastors and lay people who are
not versed in the Greek language. It treats
these words in alphabetical order and relates
them to passages in which they appear in the
New Testament.
Unlike most works of this type, these
volumes provide a maximum of information
with a minimum of reading. I know of no other
work like it. And I heartily recommend it to all
serious students of the New Testament.
