mikes Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 Just heard about this hitting paper in november: The Concise Greek-English Lexicon of the New Testament. You can pre-order for $55 to be shipped sometime around november. Basically an updated, mini-BDAG! I would LOVE to see this in Accordance and I know how long it will take! ANY feedback regarding at least interest would be nice to know. Here's the description from the site: Frederick William Danker, a world-renowned scholar of New Testament Greek, is widely acclaimed for his 2000 revision of Walter Bauer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Hall Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 I think this would be an awesome addition. I currently have the Shorter Lexicon of the Greek NT by Gingrich & Danker in paper and love it. The Concise Dictionary sounds similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
countach Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 Err... what is the benefit of a concise lexicon in electronic form? Your computer doesn't get smaller and lighter. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Cochran Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 Err... what is the benefit of a concise lexicon in electronic form? Your computer doesn't get smaller and lighter. I would think, 1) price and 2) those of us who aren't Greek Scholars, but would still like a good (enough) gloss. While I want BDAG and HALOT, $200+ for dictionary (ahem, sorry lexicons) is a tad much (for my budget). I'd personally like it. Just my $0.02. And actually, I like "lighter" in terms of less stuff, higher quality, or less information to allow me to access and use that information instead of having "more" in terms of stuff I won't use.

Alan Kurschner Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 I want to encourage Accordance to acquire this module. When I was with a former Bible Software program four years ago, it was the concise BDAG that I used for my popup window! I miss that substantive short lexicon. I would love to be able to have The Concise Greek-English Lexicon of the New Testament as my popup lexicon for Accordance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helen Brown Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 Remember that this book isn't even published yet, so it will inevitably be a long while before we can release it in Accordance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kristan Slack Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 Helen, Has there been any update on the status of this book being available for Accordance? It's been in print form for a few years now. It does bring benefits to it which BDAG doesn't have (particularly meaning-phrases rather than single word glosses). thanks, Kristan Sydney Australia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helen Brown Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 We are working on so much, and there hasn't been a demand for this, so I don't think we are pursuing it at present. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unix Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 I would have liked to have it. See: http://www.accordancebible.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=9354&page=4&do=findComment&comment=42676 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
