>From a sermon-creation and/or basic Bible study point of view, it seems to
me that the lexicons by Baltz & Schneiber and by Spiq are too limited in the
number or words defined. The works by Brown and Kittel are better, but the
diachronic semantics sometimes tempt the preacher into transferring OT word
uses to NT texts. They also tend to provide more than the person needs who
is producing a message every week. I think the time spent in mastering BDAG
is well worth the trouble. I'm not sure, but I think I remember seeing a
paperback instructing the user on how to best utilize BDAG. I use it as my
tool of first reference. In our graduate program in Trinidad, the students
are required to buy it in their second year of Greek. They can either buy
it hardback or as part of Libronix, their required software. To my
knowledge, none has found it that difficult to use.
