(Dr?) Penner. You are responsible for a dip in my bank balance!
On a serious note though, looking forward to getting into it. Would you say that it has avoided some of the criticism levelled at the Theological Dictionary of the New/Old Testament?

Very nice work. If anyone has access to the article on βιάζεται, there would be great joy and thankfulness if a picture or Academia.edu download could be posted!

I would say we tried to avoid those shortcomings!

In one sentence or so, could you tell me what the core of these criticisms are? Just trying to get a sense of what is good, better, and best ... and bad, worser, and worst.

I am hoping one of our resident linguists can answer, I would probably bodge it. Michael Aubrey has some on it here though in a longer form
