Customer Reviews

Excellent resource

The Theological Wordbook of the Old Testament is an excellent resource for those that desire to research the meanings of significant Hebrew words. It is very useful for those with little to no working knowledge of the Hebrew language. It is simple to use and provides great insight. For example, the word "bless" includes the idea "to endue with power for success, prosperity, fecundity, longevity, etc." (page 132)I turn to this volume almost every time I need to research the meaning of a Hebrew word. It is a great buy for the price.

Satisfied for About 20 Years Using this Set

This is a great set. I got it about 20 years ago when it first came out, and, as a pastor of over 23 years, I say "Go for it!" Although I do not refer to this work every week, it comes in handy when I need to do a Hebrew word study. Because it is cross-indexed with Strongs, you can find the Hebrew words (and their definitions/expansions) without knowing a stitch of Hebrew.For practical ministry use, this is the set to get! It provides plenty of information, clear definitions, but does not get tedious (usually). I would recommend it over older studies which are not nearly as accurate (especially those done before the Dead Sea Scrolls were discovered in the 1940's).

What the Old Testment Really Means

Well organized, this book is an important tool for all of us who study the Bible looking for understanding the relationship between the New and the Old Testments. It helps us a lot, because it teaches what God really wanted to say, revealing the real meaning of the words of the old escriptures. I like it very much and use it a lot because it has always an answer to my inner questions about the word of God. It is a book no Bible student should miss.

Books for the serious Old Testament student

This two volume set is exhaustive tool for the serious Old Testament student. Conveniently cross referenced to Strong's Exhaustive Concordance numbers, it doesn't take long to find what you are looking for. No one denominational bent is emphasized so it is a good tool for all denominations of the Christian faith as well as a good tool for non-Christians.

It comes close to information overload!!!!

The Theological Wordbook of the Old Testament is an invalluable tool if you want to get behind every word, (except names) of the old testament text. I use it extensively and have not been able to find it's equal. The information is easy to find because it uses the strongs numbering system. This work really lets the person of serious study grasp a clearer understanding of what the scripture is saying. No serious bible student/reader should be without it.
