A very handy and essential resource for searching up New Testament words in their original Greek, and understanding their meaning in their original historical-grammatical context. I’ve started referring to this handbook more and more lately, and have found it very useful.

“The discussion of each New Testament word of religious or theological significance includes comments on the word‘s secular Greek background; its role in the Old Testament,
both in the Hebrew and the Septuagint texts; its usage in such sources as Philo, Josephus, the pseudepigraphal and rabbinical literature; and finally its varied uses in the New Testament and, where pertinent, in the Apostolic Fathers. […] This shorter version is being released in the confidence that these materials can both extend and deepen our understanding of the theology and message of the New Testament, and in this way contribute to the proclamation of the gospel and the edification of the church.”

Another tool of the trade that won't be put aside until I'm dead and gone.
