ukfraser Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 (edited) BDAG tends to be referred to as the standard on this forum supplemented by NIDTTE, but with the current offer, would NIDTTE suffice without bdag? Or will you always recomend having BDAG as its the standard? I currently have a limited number of resources which meet my needs but have been thinking about a more detailed lexicon for some time. If buying just one, this seems to be an offer that is too good to miss (alternatively, i can also continue to wait for a similar offer on BDAG as dont have any specific needs). Principal interest is gnt and lxx. Edited September 4, 2016 by ukfraser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonathanHuber Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 BDAG is thorough, covering every word in the NT (though not all the LXX). NIDTTE goes into greater detail about many words, and the theological discussions are very helpful, but it's not exhaustive. I don't think one really substitutes for the other. They're both great and complement each other. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ukfraser Posted September 4, 2016 Author Share Posted September 4, 2016 (edited) Thanks jonathan. One of my current basic lexicons claims to have all the gnt in and has meet my needs up till now (though i have missed some extra detail). I like the format of nidntte (from the screen shot) and am looking for more detail so it is looking like one of those offers that is just too good to pass up. I have a bit of time to see what other pearls of wisdom i get, but thanks for the clear response. ;o) Edited September 4, 2016 by ukfraser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wcombs Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 Speaking as an former seminary prof., BDAG is the standard NT Greek lexicon. There is nothing else like it. Nothing else compares to it. It is the very first tool one should have after the Greek NT itself. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fabian Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 (edited) I would prefer http://www.degruyter.com/viewbooktoc/product/59046?rskey=FIwM42&result=23 if this where in Accordance. Or the publisher Brill.com has also fine Greek dicts. And Springer for Latin. Greetings Fabian Edited September 4, 2016 by Fabian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimpleTheist Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 Honestly, buy both. BDAG is the standard Lexicon, but NIDNTTE is, in my opinion, is equally required. While I would normally say that BDAG should be first, I am personally going to buy NIDNTTE first, since the the current accordance discounted price is way too good to pass up. So in this particular case, buy NIDNTTE and then later when you can afford it (or there is an awesome sell) buy BDAG. The lesser lexicons can suffice for now as this is a can't pass up deal on the NIDNTTE. Eventually get both, but go ahead and buy the NIDNTTE right now. For anyone reading this after the sell on NIDNTTE ends, I would recommend getting BDAG first, then NIDNTTE, but for the moment, go ahead and get the NIDNTTE and hold off on BDAG. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have both in hard copy, but not (yet) in Accordance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ukfraser Posted September 12, 2016 Author Share Posted September 12, 2016 Many thanks for the advice. Purchased! Glad to see others are taking advantage of this sale ( though surprised nivac isnt making an appearance, i guess most got it when it was on sale earlier this year, if not get it now!). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helen Brown Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 NIVAC-NT is on sale, I don't know why Zondervan did not offer the OT as well. This sale definitely ends on the stroke of midnight Friday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ukfraser Posted September 13, 2016 Author Share Posted September 13, 2016 (edited) Hi helen, nivac nt is not showing on the top ten products which surprise me as the top three are all in the sale and mounce has made it to no 5. But for those who dont already have it, i find it an excellent series for stimulating thought outside the box when reading a passage and well worth getting at this sale. Whenever i use this, there is always a sentence or comment that gets me to start thinking in a totally different direction than the way i had originally approached the passage based on hearing decades of sermons. ;o) Edited September 13, 2016 by ukfraser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EricC Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 On the main Store page, there is a listing of Featured Products and Top Selling Products at the bottom of the page. Thank you, Julie.

ukfraser Posted September 13, 2016 Author Share Posted September 13, 2016 (edited) Good questions eric. Although you can filter the top sellers, i like looking at it during sales, and since this particular zondervan sale started, the top three rocketed up the chart and some of the items in the previous sale which were quite high quickly fell out, though there are a few non sale items that are always in it. I am guessing its fairly real time coz nidntte has overtaken nidott since saturday (swapped 2nd and 3rd) and mounce moved up from 6th to 5th. ;o) Some of us need to get a life! I must say that occasionally i would love to know how many items are actually sold during a sale, are we taling 10s or 100s. ;o) Ps, one other geek feature, have you noticed that you can see who is on line if you scroll to the bottom of the main forum page?

Glad to see others are taking advantage of this sale ( though surprised nivac isnt making an appearance, i guess most got it when it was on sale earlier this year, if not get it now!). For me it is definitely more surprised, why this 3 items are since months or years in the top 10. If you buy all 3 you'd better take the upper collection which this has included. The Original Language. Spend a little bit more but you got more than twice of the value. Greetings Fabian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ukfraser Posted September 15, 2016 Author Share Posted September 15, 2016 Nidntte made it to number 1 with a day to spare, still no sign of nivac nt or any of the new excellent exclusive sale not to mention fabian's mystery question Has the zondervan sale been successful? (I have already been emailed by zondervan about their own different sale.) ;o) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
