Now that Thayer's Lexicon is out, if you purchased it, have you changed your priority of Greek Lexicons? I know many have BDAG, LEH LXX, BAGD, LSJ/Liddell. What is your list of Greek lexicon priorities now and where does Thayer fit in?
I have Thayers near the top.
I've put thayer at the top and am impressed.
Why does or would a person prefer Thayer's to BDAG? And can Thayer's be trusted where it might disagree with BDAG or give different word meanings than BDAG, since Thayer was written before the discoveries of the papyri and the understanding of Koinê Greek they provided?
For the reason Nicky gave, Thayer's was out-of-date as soon as it was published. BDAG is the most well respected lexicon amongst the vast majority of biblical scholars. It's great!
I am still saving up to afford BDAG. [:)]
I think the older lexicons are great, when you're trying to understand the logic in the older commentaries. Detective work.
