Developed as a series of lectures delivered at King's College, Ireland, this 1880 work by a professor of theology studies the synonyms in the New Testament as written in Greek in order to discern possibilities of meaning that less subtle languages-such as English-cannot manage to impart. The author believed that one of the most valuable things a teacher could pass along to his students is a deep interest and reverence for grammar and language, and so this valuable exercise delves into the sometimes vague and sometimes specific meanings of Biblical words that men have come to for guidance in their lives. Meant for serious students and scholars, this book requires a working knowledge of Greek, and will greatly reward those readers of ancient languages, Irish philologist and Anglican archbishop RICHARD CHENEVIX TRENCH (1807-1886) is best remembered for his work The Study of Words. Through his writing, he aimed to show how words, even single words, contained within them a complete story, a history that even had moral implications. His other published works include English Past and Present (1855) and A Select Glossary of English Words (1859).

Seller's Description:
Fair. in No jacket. Text in ENGLISH, with considerable GREEK references: Thick hardcover with edgewear and fraying to green cloth cover and NO dust jacket; fairly limited (to my mind) notations (both in English and Greek), markings and underlining, otherwise the pages are crisp and in good condition (just a strip of clear reinforcement tape at a front hinge); some of the handwritten notes in the Contents section (which is entirely in Greek) would be helpful to the reader, I would think, as they include translations of many of the Greek words found there; published by Wm. B. Eerdmans, 1966 Fifth Printing; stated on copyright page: "This printing is a reproduction of the ninth edition published in London in 1880"; 405 pgs. including Index of Synonyms and Index of Other Words (see picture of my book within this description)

...to get a first edition, which is in excellent condition considering its age.
Helpful when dealing with the subtleties of the Greek language -- which is highly expressive when compared to English, and therefore very useful for in depth studies of the Word. This is a handy linguistic tool.
