Do You use Either A lexicon or A Word Dictionary?

I try to do one or two word studies every month. I do not read Hebrew or Greek. Therefore I use references designed for English-only users. Here are the references I have found to be most useful. Most use the NIV 1984.

Theology word dictionaries

New International Dictionary of Old Testament Theology & Exegesis , 5 Volumes, edited By Willem A. VanGemeren (Zondervan, 1997).

New International Dictionary of New Testament Theology, 4 Volume Set, edited by Colin Brown (Zondervan, 1986).

The NT series has been replaced by New International Dictionary of New Testament Theology, Abridged One-Volume Edition, edited By: Verlyn D. Verbrugge (Zondervan, 2003).​

Lexicons

A Concise Hebrew and Aramaic Lexicon of the Old Testament, William L. Holladay (Wm. B. Eerdmans, 1971).

A Greek English Lexicon of the New Testament and Early Christian Literature 2nd ed. (BDAG). The 3rd edition, which I do not have, is the current edition.​

Hebrew and Greek Concordances

The Hebrew-English Concordance to the Old Testament (Zondervan, out of print but available on used book market).

The Greek-English Concordance to the New Testament (Zondervan).​

Quick - convenient size - cheap

Mounce's Complete Expository Dictionary of Old & New Testament Words, edited By: William D. Mounce (Zondervan, 2006).​

 

I had heard that some do not appreciate the revisions in the 3rd edition of BAGD, but was unaware of the reasons. Thanks for sharing that comment.
