The first English translation of Walter Bauer's in 1957 was based on the fourth edition of the German, and the second, in 1979, based on the fifth German edition. Here Danker (New Testament, Lutheran School of Theology, Chicago) draws on the sixth German edition and the two previous English editions, as well as his own broad knowledge of Greco-Roman literature, papyri, and epigraphs. He has extended the definitions for the Greek terms to help readers and translators avoid anachronisms, and to lessen confusion for readers who may not be native English speakers. The dictionary goes only from Greek to English, not vice versa. (From the Publisher)

This book is recognized as a classic by Greek scholars the world over. This is not a book for someone who has no knowledge of Koine Greek, but is a valuable resource for understanding the grammar of the Koine Greek for those who know the difference between, say, the Present tense and the Aorist tense of a Greek verb. If you have a hankering to know how an infinitive might change a verb tense, then you will probably find it here. For those who do have some Greek background, it will enrich your research and may clarify many a difficult passage for you. (From the Publisher)

For over a century, Thayer's has been lauded as one of the best New Testament lexicons available. Both accessible and thorough, it is a work suited for the student of New Testament Greek. Thayer's provides dictionary definitions for each word and relates each word to its New Testament usage and categorizes its nuances of meaning. Its exhaustive coverage of New Testament Greek words, as well as its extensive quotation of extra-biblical word usage and the wealth of background sources consulted and quoted, render Thayer's an invaluable resource.
