Described as an “invaluable reference work” (Classical Philology) and “a tool indispensable for the study of early Christian literature” (Religious Studies Review) in its previous edition, this new updated American edition of Walter Bauer’s Wörterbuch zu den Schriften des Neuen Testaments builds on its predecessor’s staggering deposit of extraordinary erudition relating to Greek literature from all periods. Including entries for many more words, the new edition also lists more than 25,000 additional references to classical, intertestamental, Early Christian, and modern literature.
In this edition, Frederick W. Danker’s broad knowledge of Greco-Roman literature, as well as papyri and epigraphs, provides a more panoramic view of the world of Jesus and the New Testament. Danker has also introduced a more consistent mode of reference citation, and has provided a composite list of abbreviations to facilitate easy access to this wealth of information.
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.
Danker’s edition of Bauer’s Wörterbuch will be an indispensable guide for Biblical and classical scholars, ministers, seminarians, and translators.
Based on Walter Bauer’s Griechisch-DeutschesWörterbuch zu den Schriften des Neuen Testaments, sixth edition, edited by Kurt Aland and Barbara Aland, with Viktor Reichman, and on previous English editions by W. F. Arndt, F. W. Gingrich, and F. W. Danker.
Without warning, a huge map of the world appeared in Loren’s mind’s eye. Loren blinked, but the map was still there. Soon it was covered with ocean waves beating on every shore. Then the waves turned into the faces of young people flowing over every nation. Was Loren being given a glimpse of the future? If so, what part was he going to play? Ever since he was a young boy dreaming of writing “God is Love” on the moon so that all the world’s people could see it, Loren Cunningham has committed his life to reaching the whole world with the Good News of Jesus Christ, ministering in every nation on earth. Through his unswerving belief that nothing is impossible for God, Loren’s vision of waves of young people became the reality of Youth With A Mission, unleashing young Christians in missionary service when that was unheard of. Today, through the mission he began, multiplied thousands of believers- young and old- are working together to bring the gospel to the whole earth.
When you saw that this article was going to be about lust, which Bible verses came to mind? My guess is that you started out with the command about adultery and then remembered Jesus's words about lusting after women (and cutting off your hand). And while those passages and others like them are indeed important, they address a very small part of God's words about lust. That's because, although lust in modern parlance is usually thought of in terms of inappropriate sexual desire, scripturally the word means far more than that.
Top Preaching Tools & Resources That Belong in a Pastor's Library
By Kirk Miller
In his classic work, The Christian Ministry, Charles Bridges opens his section on sermon composition with these words: How much responsibility attaches itself to the subject matter and the mode of our pulpit addresses! It cannot be of light moment, whether our people are "fed with knowledge and understanding," or with ill-prepared and unsuitable provision. […]
What's the Fear of the Lord Really? And Why Does It Matter?
By Wendy Widder
If someone or something has ever put the fear of God in you, it likely wasn't a positive experience. And you'd be happy if it never happened again. That cultural idiom is resoundingly negative. But the Bible calls the fear of the Lord the beginning of wisdom—making this fear an incredibly positive, even necessary thing.
What Does the Bible Say about Sexual Immorality? 3 Key Questions
By Donald C. McIntyre
What does the Bible say about sexual immorality? How does God, through Scripture, comfort the sexually struggling, engage the skeptic, and provide a template for those exasperated by their attempts to live a holy sexual life?

Defiled Defined: What "Defiled" Means in the Old Testament
By Ken Casillas
You probably don't use the word defiled in everyday conversation. But if the synonyms dirty or unclean come to mind, you're on your way to understanding the key Old Testament theme of defilement. It's just that in Scripture, defilement isn't limited to physical uncleanness. Often it's ceremonial and symbolic, and the symbolism points to the most serious kind of uncleanness—moral and spiritual uncleanness.
Being a Christian in a Non-Christian World: 7 Tips from Church History
By Robert Elmer
even beyond the earliest examples in the book of Acts, Christians throughout history have experienced many of the same challenges and frustrations we face. They wrestled with materialism and obedience to God, with sharing their faith and worries and distractions and more.
Jesus Christ is alive and living in the hearts and lives of billions of Christians. I am interested in what He is saying and doing in the lives of those who know and love Him and interested in being a familiar and trusted blogger about Him
