If I were stranded on a desert island and could have only one book other than the Bible, this would be it. (Okay, the four volume set. I'm cheating.) Brown's magnum opus is a gateway to biblical and systematic theology and an invaluable aid to exegesis. Brilliant in its paradoxical breadth, depth and concise focus, this dictionary is much more than a "tool." It may be creatively used for study, devotion, historical, theological and interdisciplinary reading. Spend the money to get this set, then use it regularly to your own betterment and the benefit of others!
i love this set of books. it compares the original text, classical literature, a variety of commentaries and culture context with regard to nearly any word or topic found in the new testament. my favorite entry thus far is the idea of "binding and loosing" as it relates to rabbinical teaching.
