That's a good set of resources! I like using the BDB and also the Theological Wordbook. I still have my hardback copy of A Greek-English Lexicon of the New Testament and Other Early Christian Literature (2nd edition). There is a helpful book called the Index to Brown, Driver, and Briggs Hebrew Lexicon - compiled by Bruce Einspahr. It lists the lexical Hebrew word form for each chapter and verse in the OT books. These are indexed to the page and section of BDB. As a used book, it is pretty cheap.

Thank you for the kind words and the suggestion! The Index to BDB sounds like a great idea.

Great review and great insights!! My favs are Hebrew Theological Dictionary of the Old Testament and the Theological Dictionary of the New Testament. I have an electronic version of the Old Testament. The hard copy is kind of pricey. I picked up a hard copy of the Theological Dictionary of the New Testament at a local Bible College for about $100.

Thank you for your kind words! I really appreciate you mentioning TDOT and TDNT. I own them both digitally and like how thoroughly researched and comprehensive they are. If other resources ever come to mind, please feel free to share them.

@ You’re very welcome. When I do a word study, I always use TDOT or TDNT. I am also a big fan of the Theological Wordbook. I appreciate your responding.
