← A Dictionary of the Bible — Volume 5

*,* It will be generally allowed that a new Concordance to the Greek Testament is much needed in the interests of sacred scholarship. This work adopts a new principle, and aims at providing a full and complete Concordance to the text of the Greek Testament as it is set forth in the editions of Westcott and Hort, Tischendorf (8th), and the English Revisers. The first-named has throughout been taken as the standard, and the marginal readings have been included. Thus the student with any one of these three editions in his hands will find himself in possession of a complete Concordance to the actual text on which he is engaged. While the method employed, it may fairly be claimed, precludes the omission of any word or phrase which, by even a remote probability, might be regarded as forming part of the true text of the New Testament, on the other hand passages disappear as to the spuriousness of which there is practical unanimity among scholars.

Professor W. SANDAY, D.D., LL.D., Oxford, writes: ‘There can be no question as to the value of the new ‘‘Concordance.” It is the only scientific Concordance to the Greek Testament, and the only one that can be safely used for scientific purposes.’

‘It would be difficult to overpraise this invaluable addition to biblical study. . . . For all English students of the Greek Testa- ment this great work is indispensable.’—BritIisH WEEKLY.
