kpang808 Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 Is it worth purchasing this set on sale? Especially if I already have HALOT, BDB, NIDOTTE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Francis Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 I don’t own halot, but find TDOT very useful. It is very similar to NIDOTTE. I find it quite useful and use it a bit more than NIDOTTE. I do not read Hebrew nor am I an in-depth scholar but that said I find TDOT very useful in gaining insights. The TDOT has been called at times a bit idiosyncratic but I personally feel it is fairly solid in its scholarship and things can always be compared to NIDOTTE if you find something you do not think seems right. -Dan PS: I would love to hear what a serious Hebrew scholar has to say.

kpang808 Posted November 17, 2017 Author Share Posted November 17, 2017 Thanks for the insights Dan! I would love to hear some other feedback as well before making the investment, especially since Accordance doesn't have a return policy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michel Gilbert Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 It's at the very top of my wish list of current Acc offerings. I have a few volumes in paper, otherwise I use the library for now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kpang808 Posted November 17, 2017 Author Share Posted November 17, 2017 Are you planning on buying it? I am still wondering if I should or shouldn't lol... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michel Gilbert Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 When I can afford it, I will. I can't right now. It's quite technical, used mostly by scholars. There is a ton of information in it not available in the other works you mentioned. You could check out a copy at a library first.

Daniel Francis Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 (edited) NEW! Theological Dictionary of the Old Testament Has very little more to add and you are already aware of it, I went back to see if anyone had contributed more on it's importance or quality. -dan http://brianwdavidson.com/2016/03/13/tdot-for-accordance-bible-software/ Has a specific Accordance review talking about the importance of this work...

cmcintos Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 I own it and it is in my opinion one of the best resources available, depends on how much info you need in a lexicon. BDB is basic and HALOT is better, Dictionary of Classical Hebrew and TDOT have more info on any particular word you are looking at. I think all of these resources have something to offer but BDB and HALOT serve most peoples needs. If you use the TDNT for Greek then you have a pretty example of sort of lexicon TDOT is... worth the investment if you are into deep word studies.
