Language Notes Text: English, Latin, Greek
Jonathan Ricketts said An Excellent Resource. In moving into a study of the doctrine of God, I bought this as a pair to go with reading through James Dolezal's "God Without Parts." This book certainly helps you work through other reading with finding definitions or longer explanations, but it also excels on its own. If you have an idea of a couple words that begin a study in a particular topic (such as the doctrine of God), then starting there, you can go from reference to reference finding all of the vocabulary in a field with very well thought out definitions/explanations. This is an excellent resource for any theological student. "but it's wonderful if you are reading some scholastic texts and don't" according to Daniel Stephens. This may appear a rather arcane book, but it's wonderful if you are reading some scholastic texts and don't have a Ph.D in historical theology. Muller provides clear and concise definitions without being reductionistic or trivializing the depth and complexity of the terms and concepts. It is an excellent help in really understanding scholastic texts and the issues being debated in them.And if you are a super nerd, sometimes opening the book to a random page and reading about a term, then flipping to a related term, and so on, can be pretty enjoyable. ;-). "A most helpful book." according to Kindle Customer. This is the perfect book for Latin and Greek theological terms. So very helpful to me while doing message/sermon transcriptions.
