Please see the excellent software & book review by DoctorDaveT below.
This monumental reference work, complete in ten volumes, is the authorized and unabridged translation of the famous Theologisches Wörterbuch zum Neuen Testament, known commonly as “Kittel” and considered by many scholars to be the best New Testament Dictionary ever compiled. Mediating between ordinary lexicography and the specific task of exposition, TDNT treats more than 2,300 theologically significant New Testament words, including the more important prepositions and numbers as well as many proper names from the Old Testament. Presenting the words in the order of the Greek alphabet, TDNT typically discusses the following for each word: its secular Greek background, its role in the Old Testament, its use in extra biblical Jewish literature, and its varied uses in the New Testament. Substantial bibliographies and footnotes supplement the articles. It is designed for the intermediate and advanced Greek student. Each significant Greek word of the New Testament is comprehensively presented and takes account of its:
- Greek background
- role in the Old Testament (in the Hebrew and the Septuagint)
- use by Philo, Josephus, and in the rabbinical literature
- uses in the New Testament and its various genres
- appearances (where appropriate) in the Apostolic Fathers
More than 100 distinguished scholars contributed to the work, including specialists in Old Testament, Septuagint, Hellenistic, Semitic and Rabbinic studies. Extensive bibliographies and detailed footnoting supplement the articles.

Revised Chinese Union Version 和合本修訂版 和合本修订版, Simplified Chinese 简体版 (RCUVs)
修訂緣由
「聖經都是上帝所默示的，於教訓、督責、使人歸正、教導人學義都是有益的，叫屬上帝的人得以完全，預備行各樣的善事。」
提摩太後書3:16-17
為了讓華人也有一本他們能讀得明白的中文聖經，在一百多年前，多位西教士離鄉別井，遠赴重洋，來到中國，克服語言的限制、文化的差異，把聖經翻譯成中文。「和合本」聖經終於在一九一九年面世，讓中國億萬同胞認識真道，靈命得以建立。
廣泛諮詢
「和合本」聖經自面世以來，一直是廣為普世華人教會使用的「標準譯本」，輔助華人教會在這八十多年的歲月中成長。隨着時代的轉變，中文出現很大的變化，一些在當代十分順暢的字詞和語句，今天已鮮為人知，有些詞語的含義也改變了。因此，為了讓這一代華人更清楚、更容易地明白上帝的話語，聯合聖經公會於一九八三年先後在香港及新加坡等地，舉行有關修訂「和合本」的研討會，教會領袖普遍認同有需要對「和合本」作出修訂，於是我們組織一隊聖經學者、翻譯顧問及編輯人員，開始從事修訂的工作。
經過多年努力，我們於二零零零年完成了新約初稿，並出版了《四福音書》和《羅馬書》試用本。同年九月，聯合聖經公會再次在香港召開會議，議決由香港聖經公會全權統籌初稿試用後的修訂工作，並從中國、馬來西亞、新加坡、香港等地邀請多位聖經學者、翻譯顧問和編輯人員，參與「和合本」最後的修訂及審閱工作。中國基督教兩會不但在一九九零年派同工參與此項聖工，並於二零零三年正式來函表達支持，務求「和合本」修訂版出版後，能為普世華人教會所樂用。
為了使修訂工作精益求精，我們於二零零一年九月在香港，以及二零零二年一月在新加坡和馬來西亞舉行「和合本」修訂版顧問座談會。我們更於二零零四年十二月，特別為「和合本」最後的修訂事工舉行了一次大型的交流會，應邀赴會的海內外百多位華人學者及教牧同道均表達「和合本」修訂版應盡量採用各地華人都能明白的文句與詞彙。這是一個很寶貴的共識，亦符合我們修訂的原則。
嚴謹修訂
在長達二十多年的修訂過程中，同工們祈求聖靈的帶領，並帶着戰戰兢兢的心，對每一個句子、詞彙、字眼，都嚴謹地對照原文，也參考各種譯本，仔細推敲，反復琢磨，力求完善。
我們所依據的新約原文聖經是聯合聖經公會於一九九三年出版的希臘文聖經（第四版），其中匯集了聖經及考古學學者們許多年來對聖經抄本的考證、校勘等方面的研究成果，是目前全球最為可信的文本。此外，我們在修訂的過程中，也參閱了近幾十年來各國聖經學者的學術文獻，使我們對原文聖經的理解更加準確。
除了忠於原文外，我們還考慮到文字的曉暢，對較古僻、容易產生歧義和不符合今天人們表達習慣的字、詞、句都作出適當的修改；同時，我們也力求保持「和合本」原來的風格，只在有需要修改時才作出修改。
感謝主的保守
在上帝的帶領下，經過多年的耕耘，《和合本修訂版》經已面世。深盼各位兄姊不吝指正，讓這修訂版更趨盡善盡美。在此，我們除了感謝眾多主內同工和顧問們歷年來的委身與辛勞，以及各位弟兄姊妹的代禱和支持外，更要感謝那位一直引導我們的上帝，惟有靠賴他的恩典，才能完成這項他所託付我們的工作。
最後，我們謹以摯誠獻上這本聖經，求上帝使用，叫更多的人認識他，歸向他，並且「得以完全，預備行各樣的善事」。
願一切榮耀歸於上帝和他的愛子耶穌基督！
詳細介紹
La Biblia de las Americas (LBLA)
LA BIBLIA DE LAS AMERICAS es una traducción fiel de las Sagradas Escrituras según fueron escritas originalmente en hebreo, arameo y griego. Se ha producido con el propósito de ofrecer al mundo de habla hispana la riqueza y el poder de la Palabra de Dios en forma tal que sea un verdadero tesoro devocional y un instrumento práctico de estudio.
Esta versíon es producto de la intensa labor y dedicación de un considerable número de eruditos de distintas denominaciones cristianas, representantes de varios países de Hispanoamérica, de España y de los Estados Unidos. Se publica con la firme convicción de que las Sagradas Escrituras, según fueron escritas en los idiomas originales, fueron inspiradas por Dios, y puesto que son su eterna Palabra, hablan con renovado poder a cada generación para impartir la sabiduría que lleva a la salvación en Cristo, equipando al creyente para disfrutar de una vida abundante y feliz en la tierra, y constituyéndolo en testimonio viviente de la verdad para la gloria eterna de Dios.
El Comité Editorial ha observado dos principios básicos: En primer lugar, ha tratado de ceñirse en todo lo posible a los idiomas originales de las Sagradas Escrituras, y en segundo lugar, ha observado las reglas de la gramática moderna en una dimensión continental contemporánea, usando un estilo ágil y ameno, procurando mantener la mayor belleza literaria.
An Interpretive Lexicon of New Testament Greek
DESCRIPTION
Book Summary
This interpretive lexicon is a Greek language resource that is intended to help students and translators to easily and quickly determine the range of translation possibilities for a wide variety of the smallest and most difficult words in the Greek New Testament to translate
About the Book
Save considerable time in translating and exegesis of the Greek New Testament text.
This Lexicon has a very specific and important purpose: to make the process of New Testament interpretation easier and more accurate by providing a comprehensive yet concise interpretation of Greek words that determine logical relationships between statements or clauses.
These words (prepositions, adverbs, particles, relative pronouns, conjunctions and other connectors) are essential to revealing and supporting the main ideas in the text and are especially useful for interpreting logical arguments, such as those found in the epistles.
While not exhaustive, this Interpretive Lexicon lists the vast majority of Greek connecting words, especially those that are notorious for being some of the most difficult words to translate.
Features include:
- Concise definitions for quick analysis.
- Examples of where the word is found in Scripture.
- Page references to several major lexical resources for further translation options and nuances.
- Interpretation of the broader categories of each word (for example: locative (in, among, on), means-end (with, by), grounds (because, on account of), temporal (while, at), and so on.
The interpretive feature of the book–evaluating the word’s function in discourse–is tremendously helpful for the exegetical process, allowing the translator to closely follow the logical flow of the text with greater efficiency. This Interpretive Lexicon is a valuable handbook for student, pastor, and scholar alike.

Hebrew for Reading Comprehension
Hebrew for Reading Comprehension is a first year Biblical Hebrew grammar which is designed to promote reading comprehension and translation precision while reducing the confusion of traditional grammars. Two major features which distinguish this from other grammars are a tremendous reduction of emphasis on vowel pointing and a paradigm-less approach to teaching verbs.
This Grammar’s Differences
- The end goal is always kept in mind: reading comprehension and translation precision.
- Vowel pointing is not emphasized. Students learn to read unpointed and pointed Hebrew from the beginning. Exercises have both pointed and unpointed Hebrew.
- Verbs and verbless clauses (i.e., sentences) are introduced at the very beginning so that the student feels like they are learning language as language, not as lists.
- There is an almost complete lack of verb paradigms. Rather, verbs are introduced in the third person (all tenses/aspects), then the second person, then the first.
- Students do not have to be trained linguists in order to utilize the textbook. Instead, the book includes reviews of basic grammatical terminology and explanations of other important terms.
- Some traditional (confusing) linguistic terminology is avoided.
- Here is a chart which compares this grammar with others. Click here to download a .pdf file.
Philosophy of the Grammar
The following essays describe the philosophy underlying the grammar.These were both presented at Central States Society of Biblical Literature meetings.
William P. Griffin, “Killing a Dead Language: A Case against Emphasizing Vowel Pointing when Teaching Biblical Hebrew,” SBL Forum , n.p. [cited May 2007]

Die Bybel 2020-vertaling
DESCRIPTION
DIE BYBEL 2020-VERTALING: HOOFLETTERUITGAWE
Hierdie bronteksgeoriënteerde direkte vertaling streef daarna om só te vertaal asof die Bybelskrywers in hulle eie woorde van duisende jare gelede self aan die woord gestel word in vloeiende, idiomatiese Afrikaans. Geskik vir voorlesing en gebruik in eredienste, asook vir kategese, Bybelstudie en persoonlike gebruik.
Omdat die Bybelgenootskap van Suid-Afrika (BSA) die toepassing van die Ou Testamentiese tekste in die Nuwe Testament op Jesus as die Christus aanvaar, is daar besluit om in sodanige tekste met behulp van voetnote in die Ou en Nuwe Testament oor en weer deur middel van kruisverwysings hierna te verwys.
Na aanleiding van gesprekke tussen die BSA en ’n aantal kerke asook ’n besluit van die Kerklike Advieskomitee: Die Bybel in Afrikaans, het die BSA die betrokke kerke genooi om verteenwoordigers te benoem vir ’n werkkomitee om hom hieroor te adviseer. Die komitee se advies was dat hoofletters in Ou Testamentiese tekste wat in die 1933/1953-vertaling met hoofletters geskryf is, so behou word, asook Ou Testamentiese tekste wat deur skrywers in die Nuwe Testament op Jesus as die Christus van toepassing gemaak word. Die BSA het hierdie advies aanvaar, en die vertaling kom verder in alle opsigte ooreen met die ander uitgawes.
Die Werkkomitee het bestaan uit verteenwoordigers van die Afrikaanse Baptiste Kerk, die Afrikaanse Protestantse Kerk, die Apostoliese Geloofsending van Suid-Afrika, die Pinkster Protestantse Kerk, die Volle Evangelie Kerk van God in Suidelike Afrika, met as waarnemers die Vrye Gereformeerde Kerke in Suid-Afrika.

IVP Bible Background Commentary, New Testament 2nd Edition
DESCRIPTION
This revised edition of the standard reference work in its field has been expanded throughout to now provide even more up-to-date information by Craig Keener, one of the leading New Testament scholars on Jewish, Greek and Roman culture.
To understand and apply the Bible well, you need two crucial sources of information. One is the Bible itself. The other is an understanding of the cultural background of the passage you’re reading.
Only with the background can you grasp the author’s original concerns and purposes. This unique commentary provides, in verse-by-verse format, the crucial cultural background you need for responsible–and richer–Bible study. It includes a glossary of cultural terms and important historical figures, maps and charts, up-to-date bibliographies, and introductory essays about cultural background information for each book of the New Testament.
Based on decades of in-depth study, this accessible and bestselling commentary is valuable for pastors in sermon preparation, for Sunday-school and other church teachers as they build lessons, for missionaries concerned not to import their own cultural biases into the Bible, for college and seminary students in classroom assignments, and for everyday Bible readers seeking to deepen and enhance their study of Scripture.
THEWORD ENHANCEMENTS
theWord version of this resource is enhanced for your convenience in a Hybrid-form module. It is a book, that acts more like a commentary. Bible passages can be syncronized so that the book follows along as you study verses and passages of the Bible. Most verse references have popups of the verse when hovered. Also Glossary words have links and popups to the Glossary for easy reference of terms marked with *.
