New to Accordance

Hello, I just purchased Accordance a month ago! I currently have the Advanced Collection. I was wondering if you all had some recommendations for a Hebrew and Greek Lexicon to use. Preferably one that is included in my current collection, because I just spent close to $1000. I am excited to learn more about Accordance, after switching from a bad experience with Logos.

I like these three. BDB would come first, second would be Concise DCH, then Jenni-Westermann.

As for Greek, the current standard is BDAG, but it is not in your Advanced collection (but it is in the Ultimate), and as a $159 add on to your Advanced, it is not cheap. The BDAG/HALOT bundle is arguably (go on argue with me) the current scholarly standard for Biblical research, but at $299 is even more expensive, though much cheaper than buying them individually ($159+$199=$358).

 

People will probably disagree with me, but Louw-Nida would be my next pick. It isn’t as exhaustive (or exhausting) as BDAG, but is more modern (in a sense) in the way it is organised - by semantic domain rather than by simple alphabet. This means when you look up a word it drops you into a region of synonyms in the lexicon. Very handy.

 

Personally I like LSJ as a classicist, but BDAG is certainly better for NT and other early Christian literature as that is what it was designed for.

Thanks Ken! I do appreciate your opinion. I have to say that I have invested (in such a short span of time) the upgrade to Ultimate. As I feel it would be a good investment for BDAG and HALOT, plus some other good resources. :)

OK. Yes ultimate is pretty good! And excellent value for money - if you have the money!
