Designed For The Serious Bible Student Or Scholar: Originally published in 1877 and later revised through 1908, Bullinger’s goal was to produce a study of important Greek words that would be useful to himself and be accessible to all serious students of God’s Word. Several years were expended in this effort which was then submitted to the judgement and review of many other scholars renowned for their Biblical background and knowledge of the Greek language.

Comprehensive Detail For Every Greek N. T Word: Every English word found in the Authorized King James New Testament Bible is given 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. A reference figure is used to indicate which Greek word is used in each particular passage. Such detail is useful to the Bible student who desires to understand the number of Greek words that can sometimes be trans­lated to a single English word. For example, the word “come” may be represented by as many as 32 Greek words and it is often important for the serious Bible student to know which is the particular original Greek word in any given passage and its meaning. Bullinger frequently provides more insight into Greek words than do more basic dictionaries such as found in the Strong’s Exhaustive Concor­dance. This is illustrated by the English word “love” which in the Greek language can range from a deep reverence all the way to a friendship depending upon which Greek word is used. The Bible student will also discover that a noun form of a Greek word for “love” is highly unusual as it is not generally found in Greek works outside of the New Testament. “Love” used as a noun in John 13:35 is revealed to have a much deeper meaning than the English language can convey in a single word. It implies a deep love springing from admiration and veneration and which chooses its object with a single-sided will and devotes a self-denying and compassionate devotion to the object of that love. In other words. Christian love (like type of our Heavenly Father) is not dependent upon reciprocated love. It is solely dependent upon the love giver and not upon an equal love from the receiver of that love. There are many, many such delightful insights awaiting the reader in this great work by E.W. Bullinger who was truly one of the great scholars of God’s Word.
