Interior design: William D. Mounce

For my sons,

Tyler and Hayden

whom God called to himself at an early age,

blessed them with spiritual sensitivity beyond their years,

and in whatever they do, will be ministers of their Lord,

“proclaiming the excellencies of him who called them

out of darkness into his marvelous light.

My son, if your heart is wise,

my heart too will be glad. (Prov. 23:15)

Sons are a heritage from the Lord,

children a reward from him.

Like arrows in the hands of a warrior

are sons born in one’s youth.

Blessed is the man

whose quiver is full of them. (Ps. 127:3–5)

About Mounce’s Complete Expository Dictionary of Old and New Testament Words

For years, Vine’s Expository Dictionary has been the standard word study tool for pastors and laypeople, selling millions of copies. But sixty-plus years of scholarship has shed extensive new light on the use of biblical Greek and Hebrew, creating the need for a new, more accurate, more thorough dictionary of Bible words. William Mounce, whose Greek grammar has been used by more than 100,000 college and seminary students, is the editor of this new dictionary, which will become the layperson’s gold standard for biblical word studies.

Mounce’s Expository Dictionary of Old and New Testament Words is ideal for readers with limited or no knowledge of Greek or Hebrew who want greater insight into the meanings of biblical words to enhance Bible study. It is also the perfect reference guide for busy pastors needing to quickly get at the heart of a word’s meaning without wading through more technical studies.
