A Greek-English Lexicon of the New Testament and Other Early Christian Literature

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)
