TDNT - the reference par excellance for NT Greek words (Bewertung 5 von 5)
» George K. Swanson
Several of the other reviews listed by Amazon under this Volume 2 of TDNT by Kittel&Friedrich seem to refer to the single volume abridged edition or some volume that is indexed in English. In my personal study of NT Greek, I have invested in some 25 references or so (lexicons, concord., word studies, dictionaries, grammars, etc.) and I have not found anything that approaches the scope and completeness of the multi-vol. TDNT. It is a very worthwhile investment for serious NT study
Useful, clear, and concise; potentially easy to use (Bewertung 4 von 5)

The work is helpful. Some times the comments are basicically definitional while at other times the comments add nuances and flavors I would have missed.. E.g., when studying a book that discusses spirituyal warfare, one author--a scholar--suggested that Luke 10:18 implies that Satan left heaven mad at believers, and went on the attack. I had always been taught that he was forced out. Upon looking up the word translated,< FALL>, which is transliterated
, the point is made that the word typically meant to fall unintentionally. I thought anyone who storms out of a place angry does so intentionally; while anyone who is thrown out is typically suprised. I settled for the traditional view.
It does not always answer my questions so neatly, but I am happy with the investment. I am very cautious about giving the highest rating out to any thing or any one but Jesus.
It is relatively easy to use. I have used it less than 10 times but the table of Greek words and the table of English words seem to match up very well with those in Vine's expository. (I own the expanded edition and have not looked at the regular edition in some time, but I do not think it would be significantly different. I would expect the word usage/choice for the entries to be the same.)
Nazi Heritage: I almost past up the work for this reason. One does not need to be a Christian to do thorough exegesis especially as it relates to individual word meanings. Classical Greek scholars do exegesis quite well. Many Conservative Christian scholars quote them. Many are not Christians. One of my favorite philosophy instructors at school thought Christianity irrational. During our frequent discussions, his ability to interpret was at times astounding. (He was not a religous philosopher. It's a long story.) He could never accept the reality of the spiritual truths presented by Christ, but he could interpret well enough. The original authors of this work seem to do that well
Useful, economical, frustrating (Bewertung 3 von 5)

I find the "little Kittel" easy on the budget and shelf space. However, as one who has had Greek in seminary, I find the use of transliterations for all the Greek words to be a pain. I'd rather look up Greek in Greek than trying to figure out which English word equivalent is used or how they transliterate things.
The lack of any Strong's numbers or actual greek-text index detracts from this otherwise valuable resource. Besides that, it is a gold mine of exegetical insight
A top-notch one-volume history of N.T. Greek vocabulary (Bewertung 5 von 5)

This is the 10-volume "Kittel" dictionary minus the footnotes. The history of each word from the Greek New Testament is surveyed beginning with its Hebrew roots and usage in the Septuagint. Its usage is then decribed in secular Greek. Then its use is surveyed through the New Testament, grouped according to Pauline use, Johanine use, use in the Gospels, etc. In the process the reader can see the scope of meanings of a given word, and how those meanings developed, revealing the rich "flavors" attached to many Greek words.
Regarding the Nazi affiliation of its editor and some of its authors, we are all a mixed bag. Do we refuse to listen to music conducted by Herbert von Karajan because he was a Nazi, or of Strauss because he was a womanizer? As James Sveda said on a "Record Shelf" program on NPR years ago on this subject, "Perhaps the last word on this subject was said by a carpenter who lived two thousand years ago, 'Judge not, lest you yourselves be judged.'"
This is a wonderful resource, especially for those lacking the expertise (or the $$) to tackle the full 10-volume work
Nazi scholar's Bible dictionary (Bewertung 1 von 5)

Gerhard Kittel was both a Bible scholar and a Nazi who supported segregating Jews into ghettos where they would be denied civil rights in the broader German society. Others from a Nazi anti-Jewish scholarly thinktank also contributed to this work. Kittel was arrested by the French after WW2. This work has scholarly importance, but given the sensitivity of Bible scholarship produced under Nazi auspices, I hope that over time a revised edition of this work will be produced by a team of scholars, including Jews, reviewing and adding to the original work
