Compact Greek-English Lexicon of the New Testament
Digital Logos Edition
Overview
This handy dictionary is a revision and expansion of Alexander Souter’s A Pocket Lexicon of the Greek New Testament. Long a favorite among biblical scholars, Souter’s Pocket Lexicon offers concise yet clear English definitions and helpful grammatical information on every Greek word used in the New Testament.
Compact Greek-English Lexicon of the New Testament includes full and insightful definitions, especially of frequent “little words” (articles, prepositions, etc.), as well as many biblical references. Word definitions are placed first and set off in italics for quick reference. It was written after recent papyrus discoveries, which is important for the most up-to-date definitions.
- Features English definitions with grammatical and etymological information
- Includes new Greek word entries that reflect New Testament textual discoveries
- Provides a revision and expansion of Alexander Souter’s popular A Pocket Lexicon to the Greek New Testament
This is a thoroughly updated version of a handy resource first composed by Alexander Souter and published in 1916. Editor Mark House has made a number of additions and corrections and updated the translations, yet this remains the highly portable and useful tool it has been for nearly a century. Each Greek word is succinctly assigned its English equivalent or equivalencies, often with an illustrative reference to a particular New Testament text or a grammatical note. The size, reasonable price, and helpful, reliable content make this perfect for a student of the NT to carry to class or library without having to weigh down a backpack with a heavy lexicon.
—The Bible Today
A last comment: the positives and exemplary scholarship of this book are certainly to be commended. Every serious New Testament Greek scholar should have a copy in his or her library.

Imagine if you take this work and it's concise definitions and then added all the Greek words found in all the various Greek New Testament manuscripts with morphology information for each. Now hyperlink each word to grammatical parsing tables in the appendix to create a truly marvelous Analytical Lexicon. The book you have just imagined is available here on Logos as "Analytical Lexicon of New Testament Greek Revised and Updated" Edited by Maurice A. Robinson and Mark A. House, published in 2012. I love and can highly recommend that work as I have it in print and in my digital library.Ross Purdy

This work was designed to be carried along with your Greek New Testament and is compact. It does not make sense as an electronic resource though. There are more comprehensive works which can be had in LOGOS which are more thorough and authoritative and simply a better investment.
