Eddie:

I was just reading Mounce's new Complete Dictionary of Old and New Testament words. It is not a dictionary; it is a commentary. Comparing Danker's and Mounce's works, I see the distinction. I think both lexica are needed, as well as other sources, if one is going to do a thorough study on a word or passage.
