The Analytical Lexicon to the Greek New Testament

by William D. Mounce

The Analytical Lexicon to the Greek New Testament was created to aid in the study of the Greek New Testament, using sophisticated computer resources to ensure an accurate, helpful, and in-depth analysis of the word forms that make up the New Testament. Its combination of features sets it apart from all previously published analytical lexicons: · Based on the UBS 3d edition (revised). · Includes both accepted and variant readings · Consistent with today’s standard Greek lexicons · Gives the frequency of each inflected form, verse references for forms that occur only once · Includes Goodrick-Kohlenberger numbers for all words · Includes principal parts for all verbs · Contains a grammatical section with a discussion of paradigms and explanations as to why paradigms are formed as they are Most significantly, The Analytical Lexicon to the Greek New Testament is keyed to the author’s Morphology of Biblical Greek, which explains in detail why some Greek words follow certain patterns and other Greek words follow seemingly very different patterns. The Analytical Lexicon to the Greek New Testament is more than a tool for quick reference―it provides the Greek student or scholar with an index to another body of literature.

Awesome for the study of Biblical Greek, particularly when studying the New Testament. Great resource - I learned a lot! W. D. Mounce is definitely an authority on this topic, and he makes it VERY easy to comprehend if you are willing to put in the study time. Loved it!

Mounce, William D. The Analytical Lexicon to the Greek New Testament. Grand Rapids, MI: Zondervan, 1993.

Helpful. For example,

'Woman,' Jesus replied, 'believe me, a time is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem.'”

Jesus' statement, “Believe me” could be paraphrased, “I tell you the truth.” “A time (or hour, hōra, ὡρα) is coming (erchetai, ἐρχεται)” is prophetic language (1 Sam 2:31; 2 Ki 20:17; Jer 31:31) and here is addressing a particular and significant period in the life of Christ (see v23 below for more).

I prefer this Greek Lexicon because it seems to be more simple to use for a person learning Biblical Greek and for those of us who focus on other areas of ministry more than Greek.
