The New Reader's Lexicon is here!

After a year of securing a contract, nine months of producing the manuscript, and 15 months of editing and waiting, the New Reader's Lexicon is finally here. It's been a fun couple of weeks to see it arrive in stages. Last Tuesday I arrived in my office in the morning to find my free author's copies had arrived. This week at ETS the book is being displayed by the publisher to many Greek professors and other New Testament scholars. My daughter even took it to show to her second grade class! If I can get second graders to read Greek, graduate students should be a piece of cake!
