Overview

The Lexham Greek-English Interlinear New Testament Collection (3 vols.) brings together two interlinearized Greek New Testaments. The Greek texts behind these two interlinears are The Greek New Testament: SBL Edition (SBLGNT) and the Nestle-Aland 27th Edition of the Greek New Testament. In addition to the interlinear translations, direct links to Louw and Nida's Greek-English Lexicon of the New Testament based on Semantic Domains are provided for every Greek word in both interlinear editions. These links are context-sensitive and connect directly to the appropriate Louw and Nida article. Those familiar with Louw and Nida's lexicon know that one Greek word may have many different entries in the lexicon, one for each semantic sense. These Louw-Nida references jump to the appropriate article when there is more than one option—providing a contextually-appropriate lexicon definition for the word under study. These links will also allow for searching the New Testament text by Louw-Nida domain and article information.

Also included is the Greek New Testament: SBL Edition and its critical apparatus. This makes it possible to quickly search for and compare the differences between the Greek text of the two interlinears as well as other Greek New Testaments you might have in your digital library.

Following the model of the Lexham Hebrew-English Interlinear Bible, the Lexham Greek-English Interlinear New Testament presents two levels of interlinear translation. The first is the lexical value, which is a gloss of the lexical or dictionary form of the word. The second is the English literal translation, a contextually sensitive gloss of the inflected form of the word. The difference in these glosses is subtle, but powerful. The first gloss answers the question, “What does this word mean?” The second gloss answers the question, “What does this word mean here?” The Greek text is fully morphologically tagged and includes dictionary forms of words (lemmas) for easy lookup in standard Greek lexical tools.

The Lexham Greek-English Interlinear New Testament: SBL Edition provides the very same interlinear analysis as the edition above, but takes as its starting point The Greek New Testament: SBL Edition for the Greek text. Both editions provide the same helpful morphological analysis and links to Louw and Nida's Greek-English Lexicon of the New Testament based on Semantic Domains for in-context definitions of every Greek word in the New Testament. The difference between the two editions is only in the textual basis, where the SBLGNT differs from the NA27 in over 540 variation units.

This new critical text is based on a thorough examination of the major critical editions, apparatuses, and manuscript discoveries and the apparatus provides an accessible and easy to use look at textual variants. The sight of numerous manuscripts listed in any critical apparatus can be overwhelming (regardless of whether it's that of Alford, Tischendorf, Tregelles, or the even the NA27 and UBS4). Often even seasoned scholars struggle to know how to weigh the evidence before them. This reality becomes clear when we find that even major technical commentaries scarcely do more than list the manuscript evidence with little or no discussion of their significance. But because the SBLGNT's apparatus cites other critical editions rather than specific manuscripts, users have instant access to how the some of the greatest text-critical minds of the past two centuries have weighed the evidence and their resulting conclusions. The Greek New Testament: SBL Edition becomes even more valuable with the ability to examine its text right beside any of the dozens of Greek editions that you might own in Logos Bible Software.
