This work draws together hundreds of word studies from Father Spicq's much admired biblical commentaries. There are over 300 articles on over 600 different Greek words, outlining their etymology and their usage in classical, Hellenistic, and non-literary Greek sources, the Septuagint, and late Jewish and early Christian writings. Spicq's Theological Lexicon has numerous footnotes which lead the reader to useful books and journal articles. The work can be used with ease by persons with no knowledge of Greek - all Greek words are transliterated into Roman letters. If a man wants to be always in God's company, he must pray regularly and read regularly.
All spiritual growth comes from reading and reflection.
Saint Isidore of Seville, Book of Maxims, 7th century.
