I'm teaching myself NT Greek and OT Hebrew.  As I go through Pratico 
& Van Pelt for the latter (Mounce for the former), I'd like to 
double-dip the reading exercises by doing them in Greek as well.  Can 
anyone recommend a Greek dictionary/lexicon that would be useful in 
working both the Septuagint _and_ the NT?  Gingrich's Shorter 
Lexicon?  Mounce's Analytical Lexicon?  Any advice would be most 
appreciated.

If you're serious about continuing to read the NT in Greek, I suggest that 
you "bite the bullet" and get the big magillah for NT -- BDAG.  For the LXX 
there is a separate lexicon as well.  Of course for not much more money than BDAG 
you can get L-S-J but it isn't geared specifically to the NT and patristics -- 
nor to the LXX.
