The idea behind this book may be a good one and certainly we all need more help in vocabulary acquisition. For most of us, long after we have pretty much mastered paradigms and syntax vocabulary still lags far behind, so I appreciate the effort.
As to whether reading vocabulary words clustered in groups of related meanings had any real advantage, I'll just have to take the author's word for it. It is nice to see how many synonyms appear in NT Greek, and the relative number of occurances of each word, but I just can't image this book being of any long term value, particularly when compared to Trenchard's masterpiece. I KNOW reading works grouped according to cognates helps.
The other big advantage of Trenchard's book (I know one is not meant to replace the other, but think about it; any time you spend with this book you could be spending with Trenchard, not to mention reading the NT itself!) is that Trenchard's section on cognates includes about 85% of NT words and his book as a whole includes 100%, whereas Wilson's book includes only 73%. That may not sound like a big difference, but of course for advanced learners, we want help learning ALL the words, most of all the rare ones which are hard to master. | | | Write your own review about Mastering New Testament Greek Vocabulary Through Semantic Domains
