Designed as a tool for those
students and laypeople without a knowledge of New
Testament Greek, Bullinger's A Critical Lexicon and
Concordance to the English and Greek New Testament
goes beyond resources such as Strong's Dictionary by not
only providing a concordance and translation glosses,
but also a complete lexicon with definitions, all in an
accessible manner.
Bullinger's A Critical Lexicon and Concordance in
many ways is a comparable tool Strong's Dictionary, but
also surpasses it. The volume's organization by English
head words makes it particularly accessible to the
English-only student, while also providing the
individual Greek words that those English words
translate. Combined with his judicious knowledge of the
Scripture and the Greek language, these features make
Bullinger's work an important and practical resource for
those who lack a knowledge of New Testament Greek.
Rather than being organized by Greek, Bullinger
determined to make the King James Version the central
organizing principle. Even more importantly, he
recognized that there is no way of telling exactly which
manuscripts the KJV translators used along with the
Textus Receptus. Therefore, Bullinger helpfully provides
citations of other manuscripts and critical editions,
including the texts of Griesbach, Lachmann, Tischendorf,
Tregelles, Alford, and the manuscript Codex Sinaiticus.
These additional references take the reader well beyond
the features of Strong's by allowing them to judge and
decide for themselves what is the true text and what is
not. Moreover, where Strong's definitions are limited
only to the translation glosses of the KJV, Bullinger
only organized his lexicon around the words of the KJV.
The definitions and glosses form a complete Greek
lexicon with the accompanying contextual and grammatical
information one would expect in a full lexicon organized
according to the Greek. All in all, Bullinger's A
Critical Lexicon and Concordance functions as a helpful
tool to compare with other dictionaries, such as Vine's
Complete Expository Dictionary of Old and New Testament
Words.
"Bullinger
. . . published A Critical Lexicon and
Concordance to the English and Greek New
Testament. . . . The book serves as a
concordance as well as a lexicon. In the index
is the list of Greek words in the New Testament
with a list of each of the words used to
translate it, with the number of times they
occur. . . . The new edition of Bullinger is
very handy indeed." --The
Christadelphian
"[A
Critical Lexicon and Concordance] is
intended as a help to those unacquainted with
Greek, and is really a valuable work." -- The
Comprehensive Concordance to the Holy Scriptures
The design
of this work is to give every English word in
alphabetical order, and under each the Greek
word or words so translated, with a list of the
passages in which the English word occurs,
showing by a reference figure which is the Greek
word used m each particular passage. Thus, at
one view, the Greek word with its literal and
derivative meanings may be found for every word
in the English New Testament. -- Publisher's
Weekly, Vol. 74
