Book Recommendations
Into the New Testament was originally
designed for use in an online synoptic gospels class at Luther Seminary.
In that class, I ask students to use a study Bible, a Synopsis of
the Four Gospels and either a paper concordance and lexicon or the
software program,
Bibleworks.
The
Luther Seminary Bookstore offers
discounted prices on much of their stock, and they offer mail-order
service by email, phone or fax.
 The
Harper Collins Study Bible NRSV (hardcover), also available
in paperback.
This is my favorite study Bible, but it is not the
only useful one. You can find a list of other recommendations on
the print resources page.
 Synopsis
of the Four Gospels.
This book arranges similar stories from
the gospels side by side in multiple columns on the page. There
are Greek, Greek-English, and English-only versions of this book.
The web page, Getting
to Know Your Synopsis, shows you how to use this book.
 The
Greek-English Concordance to the New Testament.
If you don't
know Greek, you can still use this book by looking up an NIV
English word in an index at the back of the book, and then finding
the corresponding Greek word by number.
Completing
a Word Study includes tutorials on how to use this concordance.
 A
Greek-English Lexicon of the New Testament
and Other Early Christian Literature, 3rd ed.
This is like
a dictionary in which you look up a Greek word and find a range
of its meanings in English. You need to know the Greek alphabet
to work with this book.
