THE NEW INTERNATIONAL
DICTIONARY OF NEW TESTAMENT
THEOLOGY is, first, a basic translation, and
then an extensive revision and considerable
enlargement, of a German work entitled
Theologisches BegriJfslexikon Zum Neuen
Testament. On its first publication in German
this was recognized as a major work of
reference, and has since become more and
more widely acclaimed as an important tool
for understanding the theology and message of
the Bible. Its translation and publication in
this new English edition, together with the
extensive revisions and extensive additions,
have enlarged it so as to make it a unique
source ofi nformation, invaluable to ministers,
teachers, and anyone interested in the study as
well as the teaching of the Bible.
What the reviewers say:
"This Dictionary had already proved its
worth in its original German form, and the
present revised and enlarged English edition
will make it a much appreciated companion to
the New Testament for students, preachers,
and teachers throughout the English-speaking
world." (F. F. Bruce, University of Manchester)
"Indispensable for advanced theological
students and scholars as well as for ordinary
Bible students." (Christianity Today)
"The ministry of any pastor would be
enriched immeasurably if he would keep this
dictionary on his desk for constant reference
during the time of sermon preparation. ... it
is perhaps the best buy of the year." (Eternity)
"I t is an excellen t work . . .. I am impressed
with the significance of this dictionary. It is
characterized by the most thorough
scholarship." (Donald W. Burdick, Conservative
Baptist Theological Seminary)
