This book is keyed to Strong's Reference Numbers. Merrill F. Unger (Author), Jr. William White ( )

Explaining Greek when you can use Greek is tricky enough. Explaining it when you can't is almost impossible.

It's no insult to say that this book takes on a difficult task -- trying to make clear what the words of an English translation of the Bible mean. To accomplish this task, it looks back at the Greek words -- but tends to use the English. Which, of course, means that there is confusion when different translations use different renderings of Greek words. This problem cannot really be solved.

The problem of bringing a theological axe to the task just makes things worse. There is a rather conservative feeling about this book. I don't know if that's really true -- but I didn't like it much. I want to interpret the text myself, and this does not help.

Of course, the real solution is ultimately to study the Greek directly. Learning Greek fluently is a difficult task -- but just learning enough to read the words, and getting a United Bible Societies edition, and a good Interlinear, and a copy of Bauer-Arndt-Gingrich-Danker, and an analytical lexicon, can have about 80% of the effect at the cost of maybe 20% of the work. It costs more than this book, but the results are a lot better.

And that's with reference to the Greek, which is the fuller part of the book. At least the Greek section can give you ideas. It's not a bad book; it's just that you'll want a lot more. The Hebrew part, by contrast, is so thin that it really isn't worth the bother. ( )
