Description:

This dictionary has been designed for use in conjunction with the United Bible Societies’ Greek New Testament. It is distinctive, for rather than listing the various meanings of words on the basis of traditional etymological methods which follow logico-historical principles, the different meanings are arranged according to their usage in the New Testament, so that the more central and frequent meanings are given first and the secondary or peripheral meanings follow. Moreover, the meanings are given in present day English, rather than in accord with traditional ecclesiastical terminology.

Barclay M. Newman was chair and chief translator of the Contemporary English Version of the Bible when it was published in 1995. He was also a member of the Old Testament committee for the Good News Bible, which was published in 1976, and revised in 1992 as the Good News Translation. Newman has spent his career involved in numerous translation projects, while also writing more than 100 articles. One of his most influential works is the >Greek-English Dictionary of the New Testament. He is also the coauthor of several UBS books including A Handbook on Jeremiah and A Handbook on the Book of Joshua.
