Outstanding book for translation and study of the Greek text. It synthesizes a vast amount of original language material in a compact and accessible format. I've used this book for personal study and recommended it to students in my NT Greek classes. This resource is a treasure!

This is an outstanding commentary on the Old Testament. Unger brings history, Hebrew word studies, archaeology, customs, excellent outlines, and Biblical theology together in a readable, conservative volume.'' This book is one of very few that discusses typology, symbolism, and prophecy. It's a gold mine of interesting and relevant information. I have required students to use this book for years, and I regularly get comments from students telling me what a blessing this book is. It's unfortunate that this book went out of print, but it would be great if it would become available in the Logos format. Unger writes from a dispensational perspective, but even if people take a different position on this, the insights are certainly worth the price of the book. No fluff, high-content, highly recommended.

One of the best word study books aimed at a less-technical level. No one book has everything; it's good to have several books to consult when doing word studies. This book is clearly written and conservative throughout, with much helpful material. I own a number of word study books including Vines Expository BDAG, NIDNTTE, TDNT, TWOT, Collin Brown, and NIDOTTE, and I still find this book helpful. Another book similar to this that is worthy of purchasing in addition to Richards' book is Vine’s Complete Expository Dictionary of Old and New Testament Words. I have assigned readings from all of these books in the first year Greek and Hebrew classes I've taught, and students have found the readings a blessing.

Excellent resource for anyone who has had Hebrew and Greek. It enables a person to see at once which Greek word in the Septuagint was used to translate every Hebrew word in the Hebrew Bible. The book uses visual separators between words, making it easy to read and identify the correlations. This book is also helpful for strengthening Hebrew and Greek language skills, in that the reader can pair the words from both languages, creating a web of knowledge. This is a one-of-a-kind book. Dr. Tov is a renowned expert on the LXX, and this work is highly recommended.

Excellent word study discussions--a great supplement to Vines Complete Expository Dictionary of Old and New Testament Words. This book is readable, informative, and rich in helpful insights. Recommended.

Some helpful material, but beware that there is also false teaching in these books regarding a second way of salvation for those who have not heard. Bruner holds that they will be saved per Matt. 25 (Judgment of the Nations) by doing good works. I found his discussion of this subject disturbing, and have thus lowered my rating of Bruner's commentaries on Matthew.

Clear, concise, and a treasure trove of information. Outstanding commentary!

These two volumes are the most detailed, scholarly commentaries on Revelation from a pretribulational, premillennial perspective that I know of. Dr. Thomas was en engineer before getting his theological training at Dallas Theological Seminary. His writing reflects his analytical, scholarly approach, writing with great attention to detail. Dr. Thomas, early in his career wrote a thesis on the book of Revelation and it remained a lifelong area of passion for him. These volumes are the fruit of his lifetime of study on the book of Revelation. (Dr. Thomas was my faculty advisor at The Master's Seminary—I have the highest respect for his scholarship and contribution to Christ's kingdom.)
