Public service was the port of entry into immortality for citizens of ancient Greece and Rome. Thousands of inscriptions attest the manner in which a grateful public heaped awards and honors on philanthropists and benefactors. Classical and New Testament scholars have paid little attention to the influence of the stylized form in these inscriptions on Greek literature. Using the technique of semantic-field analysis, Frederick Danker demonstrates that, among others in the New Testament, St. Luke and St. Paul display strong interest in the Hellenistic benefactor as interpretive medium for understanding early Jewish-Christian prophetic and ethical instruction. Under the author's careful analysis of inscriptional usage, many texts in the New Testament take on renewed significance.

Frederick William Danker, a world-renowned scholar of New Testament Greek, is widely acclaimed for his 2000 revision of Walter Bauer’s A Greek-English Lexicon of the New Testament and Other Early Christian Literature. With more than a quarter of a million copies in print, it is considered the finest dictionary of its kind. Danker’s Concise Greek-English Lexicon of the New Testament will prove to be similarly invaluable to ministers, seminarians, translators, and students of biblical Greek. Unlike other lexica of the Greek New Testament, which give only brief glosses for headwords, The Concise Greek-English Lexicon offers extended definitions or explanations in idiomatic English for all Greek terms. Each entry includes basic etymological information, short renderings, information on usage, and plentiful biblical references. Greek terms that could have different English definitions, depending on context, are thoughtfully keyed to the appropriate passages. An overarching aim of The Concise Greek-English Lexicon is to assist the reader in recognizing the broad linguistic and cultural context for New Testament usage of words. The Concise Greek-English Lexicon retains all the acclaimed features of A Greek-English Lexicon in a succinct and affordable handbook, perfect for specialists and nonspecialists alike.
