Bert, don't limit God either. I got BAG and a host of other books for $40
from a preacher who was "quitting the business" and going in to another line
of work. He advertised books for sale in the local newspaper, and when I
got there all the research books were sitting on a back shelf, lonely and
forlorn. Nobody wanted them, and he was happy to get rid of them to me for
$40 cash.
The haul included:
BAG
The Life and Times of Jesus the Messiah - Edersheim
Old Testament Bible History - Edersheim
The New Bible Dictionary - Eerdmans
Word Studies in the Greek New Testament - Vols I, II and III - Wuest
The Bible and Archeology - Thompson
I still marvel today when I realise what I have.

> Occasionally a section from BDAG gets cited on-list and I find it a bit
intimidating for a beginner like me and that has kept me from finding out it
I can even afford to buy a copy.(Does your comment -go sell what you have
and purchase one... indicate that this is an expensive book?)

and my wife and kids have hinted that some money is coming my way for books
and I would like to make an informed choice. Thank you
