 Save your money April 30, 2007

This book really is a waste of money. It's not worth the paper it's written on. I wish I could sell it. I'll never use it. I was totally surprised. I have the Old and New Testament Word Studies by Zodhiates and I do recommend those, but not this.

What a TOTAL waste of money. This is nothing more than a bunch of numbers and you don't even know which word the numbers are for....just what scripture. The Concordance by itself is much more useful. This book does not give you any deeper understanding than a concordance. Don't waste your money on this!!

There are less than 5 lines of instructions, which have nothing to say about how to use the book; and those lines of instructions are convoluted and confusing. The contents are mystifying: a typical example is Acts 1:3. This verse has 31 words but this "complete dictionary" references only one word to Strong's concordance, and thus to "The Complete Word Study Dictionary" with no comment or explanation. This does not provide "a deeper understanding of the word".

not at all what I expected or was looking for, but that is not Amazon's fault. I should have known what I was ordering.
 Useful for the layperson, but don't rely on it. May 8, 2002

First, let us say what this is not. This is not a lexicon. It is a theological dictionary. Which means he's interpreting terms for you. Those interpretations can be good, they can be bad, they can be speculative. You get all of the above in this work. Lexicons do this to some extent as well, but not as much as theological dictionaries do. This work can be useful if you're not experienced with the original languages. But if you want the best tools, learn the Greek alphabet and get yourself a lexicon. If you want something handy in one easy-to-use volume. This will work. But don't trust it exclusively, and don't neglect your own studies for his interpretations.
