About the Book
Singular-Meaning Lexicon and Handbook of the Greek New Testament is divided into two distinct sections. The Lexicon first gives a singular meaning for every NT Greek word. Next, the meaning is discovered by analysis of every occurrence of that word in the NT. Meanings are sifted until a singular meaning is found that adapts in every location of that word. This would be as near as a human could get to the meaning that was in the one mind of God, who is the author. The Handbook includes a treatment on the rare subject of the scriptural history of language. The Grammar section is an attempt to adapt the NT Greek grammar so that it is consistent. Issues like the passive meaning given to the middle voice, imperatival force put on the participial verb forms etc. are discussed.
