An encyclopedia based on the NIV and the NASB, this volume explores the Hebrew and Greek words that lie behind the English words.  Covering the OT as well as the NT, this tool surpasses the well-known Vine’s Expository Dictionary of NT Words.

Whether you’re a pastor, a student, or simply a lover of the Bible, this book helps you get more out of God’s Word by revealing the original meanings of key biblical words. The reader-friendly, narrative style makes it easy to explore the Hebrew and Greek words that lie behind the English words. You’ll discover significant shades of meaning and nuances that bring depth to your understanding of Scripture.

This highly accessible reference tool surpasses the well-known Vine’s Expository Dictionary of New Testament Words in a number of ways:

• Thorough coverage of both Old and New Testaments gives you a firm grasp of the entire Bible.
• The Goodrick/Kohlenberger numbering system allows for accurate identification of Hebrew and Greek words.
• Top evangelical scholarship ensures current insights into the meanings of words.
• Biblical concepts are fully discussed, providing you not only with understanding, but also, where appropriate, with practical and devotional insights you can apply to your life.
• Entry words are taken from the NIV and the NASB—respectively, the best-selling contemporary translation and today’s most literal word-for-word translation.
• Major KJV terms are cross-referenced to broaden your understanding of translational nuances and distinctions.
• Four indexes include: Hebrew words, Greek words, Scripture references, and topical index.
