The people who asked wanted to use it with Catholic schools, home school kids, Confirmation classes or other situations where internet connections are slow or non-existent, or who did not want the kids roaming in the ‘net unsupervised.>> It a good idea, but I can’t just shovel the site onto a CD. It has thousands of links to other sites, the whole raft of commercial pages, and there have been times when I had a web counter. These would have caused problems if the idea was to really have it available whole and complete offline. Besides, there were always more pages to write, more names to research, more topics to catalog.>> Well, there is still much more to research, catalog and write, but I have hammered out an offline edition. My conversion software strips out the online stuff, and the final product is self-contained.>> The file is available for download here by clicking the appropriate link or CD image below. Please note the size of this thing. If you’re on a dial-up connection, it could take a while. The alternative is to order the site on CD. It’s $5 for a CD, but on the plus side I’ll send you a copy of version 1.1 when it’s ready in October, and I’ll throw in some other eBooks.

What’s New in Version 3.0 (See full changelog)

The post The “Enhanced” Synonyms of the New Testament (Updated 2016) 3.0 appeared first on theWord Dictionary Modules.

This is not a dictionary.

This large commentary “contains outlines, expositions, and illustrations of Bible texts, with full references to the best homiletic literature”.

This homiletical classic is similar to the Biblical Illustrator on a smaller scale. The end of each section contains the bibliography references to famous authors and sermons. This multi-volume commentary is suitable for “Bible Expositors”—those who teach and preach and study.

The Expositor’s Dictionary of Texts was compiled/edited by William Robertson Nicoll who also edited the Expositor’s Bible Commentary and the Sermon Bible. Assisting Nicoll in the editing process was Jane Stoddart and James Moffatt.

I made this module a few years back (exactly how I made it is a little fuzzy, but I remember it was a pretty complicated process that involved MS Word, Excel and several customize macros). The module is a dictorary module with entries for almost all content based words in the English KJV (words like “and”, “the”, “a”, etc). When you click on (or mouse over, depending on your settings) the English word in the bible window, the dictionary module will display a list of all the Hebrew words that have been translated into that English word, followed by a list of all the Greek words that have been translated into that English word. Below each Hebrew/Greek word is a list of the scripture references where that Hebrew word underlies the English word in question. The Hebrew and Greek words are listed according to frequency of occurrence with the most commonly used entries appearing first.

Needless to say, scripture references where the Hebrew/Greek word is translated into a different English word are not included. To view the other ways a particular Hebrew/Greek word has been translated, set your Strong’s number default dictionary to KJV Concordance, then you simply click on (or mouse over) the Strongs number for that word and you will be able to see a list of all the passages where that underlying Hebrew/Greek word occurs.

I think I made this document by extracting information from the KJV Concordance module and reformatting it to meet my needs. After seeing this post, I was reminded of what a cool and useful module this is, and made me regret not sharing it with other sooner…I hope it’s useful to someone out there.

The purpose of this module is to make this resource available to a wider English-speaking audience—especially those whose knowledge of the Biblical languages is very basic, “rusty,” or non-existent. Trench’s Synonyms of the NT holds a wealth of information on many Greek words used in the New Testament. But unless you can read Greek, Hebrew and Latin, you are likely to miss out on a lot by having to skip over those sections.

Version 3.0 has the following changes and additions: Popup links to LXX references in Greek-English interlinear format added.

I have keyed each Greek and Hebrew word to Strong’s numbers, both in the headings and in the body of the text. This creates a hyperlink between this dictionary module and any Bible module (with Greek words, such as the TR+ or IGNT Interlinear module) in theWord that is keyed to Strong’s. If you have this module open and click on a Greek word in the Bible text that happens to be discussed in Trench’s ‘Synonyms,’ it will open automatically to that entry.

In cases where Trench discusses a word found in the Classical and/or Patristic Greek, but not found in the NT, I have linked that word to its definition in Liddell-Scott-Jones Greek-English Lexicon. (Note: The LSJ module may be downloaded for free from www.theword.net. This is indicated by a superscripted [LSJ] next to the word. For example, τέμενος[LSJ] [“sacred enclosure”].

I have provided inline translations for nearly all Greek, Hebrew and Latin text, where it was deemed practical and useful. Such translations are indicated in [“dark blue text, and placed inside square brackets”].

I provided an index at the end of the module. Each Greek word is keyed to Strong’s for quick reference, and hyperlinked to the section in Trench’s Synonyms where it is discussed.

In certain cased I provide transliteration for Greek and Hebrew words in the body of the text. This is indicated in orange text. I did not include transliterations for words in the headings, since the transliteration of a word can be viewed simply by moving the mouse over the Strong’s number.

Pop-up hyperlinks to references to the Septuagint text (LXX) are added, including the Apocrypha. This is from Brenton’s Greek-English text.
I have added Strong’s numbers to the module index. If you are using an English version that is keyed to Strong’s (e.g., KJV), you may click on the Strong’s number. If the word is discussed in Trench’s ‘Synonyms,’ the module will open automatically to that entry. I recommend opening the module in a window set to “general book modules” (See the F1 help file under ‘Book Modules’).

From Logos page on Trench’s work Trench’s Synonyms of the New Testament

R. C. Trench’s Synonyms of the New Testament is one of the earliest and most-quoted authorities on NT Greek word studies. Many later writers are indebted to him for their understanding of this subtle language. In fact, Trench receives a special mention in the preface of both Vine’s and Vincent’s word studies and is quoted over 140 times by Wuest and 104 times in TDNT.

Now, for the first time in electronic format, you can go straight to the source and gain insight for yourself into hundreds of words with great theological significance!

Synonyms offers 107 entries that compare and relate more than 325 words drawn from the Greek NT. Trench’s analysis is detailed and thorough, reflecting the author’s deep love of languages. He reveals the differences in meaning and connotation between synonymous words, tracing words’ history and usage by classical and biblical writers.

What distinguishes Trench’s Synonyms from other books of word studies or from a dictionary like TDNT? Simply this: Synonyms is highly focused on exploring the relationships between related clusters of words. Not only do you benefit from his original thoughts on a word (not filtered by a later scholar), but you also get a more thorough explanation of just how one word is similar to and differs from another.

Archbishop Richard C. Trench (1807-1886) was a man whose passion for words and etymology led to the creation of the first Oxford English Dictionary. This same energy and thirst for knowledge drove him to carefully identify New Testament word origins and distinguish between various shades of meaning.

Here’s an example of one of Archbishop Trench’s analyses:

On p. 239, he begins a discussion of the various NT words for sin. First, he very succinctly lays out the basic concept behind each word:

“It may be regarded as the missing of a mark or aim…(hamartia)…the overpassing or transgressing of a line…(parabasis)…the disobedience to a voice…(parkoe)…the falling where one should have stood upright (paraptoma)…ignorance of what one ought to have known…(agnoema)…diminishing of that which should have been rendered in full measure…(ettema)…non-observance of a law…(anomia or paranomia)…a discord in the harmonies of God’s universe…(plemmeleia)”

Then he goes on to expound in greater detail, over the next 10 pages, how each of these words is derived and how each differs from the others. Trench is highly sensitive to the ways word meanings shift over time and context. In his discussion of hamartia, for example, he distinguishes between Homer’s usage (signifying a thrown spear that misses its target) to that of Aristotle (a mistake, only sometimes serious) to Plato (closer to our notion of sin). Trench observes:

“It is a matter of course that with slighter apprehensions of sin, and of the evil of sin, there must go hand in hand a slighter ethical significance in the words used to express sin. It is therefore nothing wonderful that (hamartia) and (hamartanein) should nowhere in classical Greek obtain that depth of meaning which in revealed religion they have acquired.”

Interesting quote in preface to Vincent’s Word Studies:

In the histories of its choicest words, Christianity asserts itself as a redeemer of human speech. The list of New-Testament words lifted out of ignoble associations and uses, and mitred as ministers of sacred truth, is a long and significant one; and there are few more fascinating lines of study than this, to which Archbishop Trench long ago directed English readers in his “Study of Words” and his “New-Testament Synonyms.”

Anti-Nicene Fathers

The post Anti-Nicene Fathers appeared first on theWord Dictionary Modules.

• “Containing Definitions Of All Religious Terms:
• A Comprehensive View Of Every Article In The System Of Divinity;
• An Impartial Account of all the Principal Denominations.
• Together with an Accurate Statement of the Most Remarkable Transactions and Events Recorded in Ecclesiastical History”

by Rev. Charles Buck, with a forward by Rev. George Bush. Originally published 1802 in two volumes.

There are over 1500 entries in this dictionary.

(From a seller’s review of the 1831 ed.): 

“Despite a stated reliance on the plain meaning of the Bible and the dictates of common sense, Buck’s Theological Dictionary, first published in London in 1802, sought to provide a textual basis for the evangelical community. By combining brief essays on orthodox belief and practice with historical entries on various denominations, Buck provided an interpretive lens that allowed antebellum Protestants to see Christianity’s almost two millennia as their own history.

American evangelicals rapidly seized on Buck’s dictionary, ceding to it an almost canonical status as the textual interpreter of what it meant to be evangelical.

Buck’s Theological Dictionary still contains some interesting material, especially when it comes to Religious Sects. Some of the more obscure ones that you will find in this book include:

• Beareans,
• Brownists,
• Cereinthians,
• Circoncelliones,
• Dunkers,
• Hopkinsians,
• Illuminati,
• Joachimites,
• Libertines,
• Manicheans,
• Marcionites,
• Materialists,
• Monophysites,
• Moravians,
• Muggletonians (no, I did not make that one up, and it has nothing to do with Harry Potter),
• Novations,
• Origenists,
• Pelagians,
• Petrobrussians,
• Philadelphian Society,
• Photinians,
• Picards,
• Pricillianists,
• Rellyanists,
• Sandemanians,
• Serpentinians,
• Socinians,
• Supralapsarians,
• Swedenborgians,
• Theophilanthropists,
• Valentinians,
• Waldenses,
• Waterladians and others.

There is also some good content on Quakers, Shakers, Universalists and others as well. As for the various Protestant denominations, Judiasm, Catholicism, Islam (Mahometanism), etc. there is plenty on that as well.”
