The Hebrew-Greek Word Study Bible
At our association meeting, our DOM brought a case of the The Hebrew Greek
Word study Bible
Does anyone have copy?
What are your thoughts about it
The editor, Spiro Zodhiates, was discovered to be plagiarizing much of the Hebrew content of his
The Complete Word Studies. Personally, as an author I would not use his work for that reason alone.
Zodhiates is known for his Greek expertise, but remember that he being a Greek, his expertise is in modern Greek, which sometimes does not carry over into studies of koine Greek.
One more thing. While word studies are very useful (I've done many myself), they are not so popular among scholars as they used to be. It is necessary to take sufficient care not to make some of the common errors: the etymological fallacy, using the wrong century as a source for meaning (classical Greek is from the centuries BC), etc. I don't know that Spiro makes these errors--just sayin'!
