I would get Liddell-Scott, 9th edition.  I know BDAG is great, but it is also theologically driven. One nice thing about Liddell Scott is that its frame is much broader.  It helps serve a bit of a corrective against circular thinking within the theological community (and I, speaking as one in the circle).  
 
Both would be better.   A good lexicon (and concordance) is worth much more than commentaries.

Subject: [B-Greek] A Couple of Questions Concerning Reference Works



All,

I would like to ask a couple of questions concerning reference works. First
of all, I have Robertson's "Greek Grammar in Light of Historical Research"
and I was wondering if it would be worth getting Wallace's "Greek Grammar
Beyond the Basics." Wallace's volume is not that expensive, but my money
could be used more effectively if his book wouldn't really add a lot to what
Robertson covers in his work.

Secondly, I have Kittel's TDNT, and many other lexicons, but I do not have
Bauer and Danker's "Greek-English Lexicon of the N.T. and Other Christian
Literature." I realize this lexicon is preferred by many, but it is quite
expensive. Would it really give me information that I do not have in the
TDNT volumes and the other Lexicons (Thayer, Liddell & Scott, etc.)?

Thanks in advance.
Will
