The Complete BDAG & HALOT Collection

The BDAG/HALOT Bundle includes a copy of HALOT (Hebrew and Aramaic Lexicon of the Old Testament [HALOT | 5 vols.]) and a copy of BDAG (A Greek–English Lexicon of the New Testament and Other Early Christian Literature, 3rd ed. [BDAG]). Together they provide the best deal available for these two premier biblical language dictionaries.

The Logos Editions of each of these important reference works provide you with lexical information at the click of the button. BDAG and HALOT integrate seamlessly with the rest of your resources. For example, all Scripture references within BDAG and HALOT appear on mouseover and are linked to the Greek and Hebrew texts and English translations in your library. What’s more, you can customize your library to automatically open BDAG or HALOT whenever you double-click on a Greek or Hebrew word in any of your resources.

A Greek-English Lexicon of the New Testament and Other Early Christian Literature Third Edition

• Author: Walter Bauer
• Editor: Frederick William Danker
• Edition: 3rd
• Publisher: University of Chicago Press
• Publication Date: 2000
• Pages: 1,108

Perhaps the single most important lexical innovation of Danker's edition is its inclusion of extended definitions for Greek terms. For instance, a key meaning of episkopos was defined in the second American edition as overseer; Danker defines it as "one who has the responsibility of safeguarding or seeing to it that something is done in the correct way, guardian." Such extended definitions give a fuller sense of the word in question, which will help avoid both anachronisms and confusion among users of the lexicon who may not be native speakers of English.
