The Hebrew-Greek Key Word Study Bible: NASB-77 Edition, Hardbound [Zodhiates, Dr. Spiros, Baker D.R.E., Dr. Warren Patrick] on desertcart.com. *FREE* shipping on qualifying offers. The Hebrew-Greek Key Word Study Bible: NASB-77 Edition, Hardbound Review: True to its WORD - This Bible is essentially a serious attempt to integrate the Strong's Concordance into the Bible, so that, while you are reading the words, you have many opportunities to look up the word in the Hebrew and Greek dictionaries in the back. This can be quite enriching, giving you a much more accurate sense of the translation, which the creators explain in the preface, when they say that when you read the word "love", for example, it's important to know there are 3 senses of the word, and so by underlining the text and directing you to the dictionary in the back, you can get a better sense of the verse's meaning. Other features of this Bible are the grammatical notes (done with a special abbreviation key process, which simply educates you on the precise grammatical tense of the verb or grammatical rule being used on the verse's word; it's quite easy to use. Like other reference bibles, it has a cross-reference system, a concordance in back (not complete), and several other nice features, such as the red-letter edition (my edition), introductions, and a "key" diagram for key concepts and its exegesis at the bottom of the page. Since most Bible enthusiasts spend a lot of time with their Bibles, other factors come into play, such as texture of pages, see-through, smell, font size, spacing, etc. I find all these features to be just fine. The pages are a bit thin, and a little handling will definitely start some creases going, but bibles are meant to be READ, right? And to put all that info into one volume (Bible + Hebrew+Greek dictionaries), you need a lot of pages. For example, this Bible is 2300 pages! Compare that to Zondervan's KJV Study Bible at 1975 pages. Please note that only the UNDERLINED words have references to the dictionaries in the back, so that means if you run across a non-underlined word, and you want to know more about its translation, you cannot look it up! You must break out your own Strong's Exhaustive Bible Concordance and look it up. Also, this is NOT a study Bible, i.e., if you need some passages explained to you (esp. with the KJV), you won't get it here. This is pretty much a word-based "lookup" Bible; technically, you CAN interpret it yourself, if you know the exact translation, but unless you are a Biblical scholar.... But I love that this Bible successfully tries to make God's word "come to life" by integrating, in a very attractive and easy-to-use package, Strong's Concordance (as well as an amplified AMG dictionary/concordance) with Scripture. It makes one really inspired to look things up, esp. because the authors seem to select interesting "key words" for you. Over time, you cannot help to become much more familiar with the Hebrew and Greek words themselves. I am very pleased with this volume! Review: Best Bible Translation—Gift to Your Loved Ones - Definitely my favorite Bible because it has Hebrew and Greek dictionaries in the back so you can get the full meaning of a word and also the root words. I had the pleasure of studying Greek with Dr. Spiros Zodhiates (He edited this version.) who lived in Greece when he heard the Gospel and was saved at fourteen years of age as I recall. He told me his mother disowned him and kicked him out of the house. He had no where to go and slept on the porch. The next morning she opened the door, he was still there, and she brought him back in and allowed him to share the Gospel with her. She, too, converted to Christianity. He later moved to America and started a ministry in Chattanooga, TN (AMG Publishing) I highly recommend the NASB translation because I think the NASB is a better translation than the NIV. (King James Version is the best translation but NASB is easier to understand for newbies.) I’ve given this Bible as gifts throughout the years. So will probably be buying this Bible again. Out of my Bible collection, the Hebrew/Greek is my go to Bible. To really understand God’s word, it helps to know a little about the languages they were written in. You might not ever become a Bible scholar of the 66 books of the Bible, but at least you’ll have this wonderful tool you can use to better understand the living word of the Creator. At the time the Gospel was written, Koine Greek was the language spoken throughout a large part of the then known world. Interesting that Christ was born during this age when many people spoke the same language. Perfect timing to reach a vast part of the world that needed to hear about God’s plan for redemption and salvation. A way to live eternally with God in heaven. One fun tidbit I discovered from the Greek dictionary was that the meaning of “sing songs and hymns and make melody in your heart” means to sing along with instruments that are plucked. The word “song” in Greek is kitharodos and the instruments that were plucked in the first century were harps and lyres along with other stringed instruments. Today that would include a guitar. Here’s the aha moment. The root word of kitharodos is kithar—the same word in the English language that became guitar. This is the Bible I truly recommend because of these included dictionaries.

Excellent study bible and a basic reference in one book
I got this to better learn the meanings of words in the Bible based on their original Hebrew or Greek language counterparts. I really like that in one text now, I have the Bible, a concordance, and both a Hebrew and Greek key word dictionary. I also like the commentary provided at the start of each book, as well as amplifying footnotes throughout. Tthe pages are a little thin--I wish they were more substantial. I tore one just trying to reposition one of a set of Bible tabs I'd bought. I guess they keep the pages thin for cost as well as size/weight, as there is a lot of content in this one volume. Overall, I really like this Bible though, and I'm looking forward to being able to learn more and better understand what I'm reading, without having to learn Hebrew or Greek!

I have several KJV study bibles, and this one caught my eye because it explains the original Hebrew and Greek languages indepth. I have the bonded leather-wide margin edition (handy for writing notes!) and have to say, I've learnt so much already after only 2 weeks and would recommend this Bible to anyone wanting to really study the Word and understand what it says in the original languages!

some pages are very good, but some other pages are so bad quality, and there is also issues with the sewing, and also the commentary is not so good, the dictionary does not explain every word that need to be explained, like isaiah 14:12, wich the kjv uses Lucifer wich is not found in the hebrew text, there is no explanation that Lucifer is not Satan, too much hidden truth in this Bible, definitely it is not a full study Bible with dictionary, the smell is so good and the leather is good also, but paper quality is terrible. but some pages look very nice.
