About the Author (1917-1981) Former professor of Old Testament and Catholic Theology at the University of Bonn in Germany.Professor emeritus of Old Testament interpretation at the University of Uppsala, Sweden.
Great Resouce if it's right for you I recently inherited this whole set and am enjoying it very much. If you are an Old Testament teacher at the college or seminary level, I don't know how you'd get by without this. However, if you are a pastor, even the so-called pastor/scholar, I'm not so sure this is a great choice (unless you have lots of money and time). There are other great resources out there like 1) the 3 volume Theological Lexicon of the Old Testament, 2) the 5 volume New Internati. TDOT Vol 1 I'm not a biblical scholar and I can't read Hebrew, but I have the TWOT in book form as well as in the Online Bible. The TWOT references the correct page where words are found in the TDOT and I can then track words. After looking at the first 3 volumes and working some words, I can see how the TDOT is a great counterpart to the TDNT. I recommend it for anyone wanting to learn more about the Old Testament and the Hebrew language.. Most comprehensive mwettach This is the most comprehensive OT dictionary on the market. Is is a scholarly work and as such does not aspire to be particularly pious or directed at believers, but rather at OT students and scholars of any religious orientation.The work is a translation from the German original and as I currently do have access to volume 1 in German I will do a quick comparison.(1) The English translation has far better readability, because it uses a larger font, larger

Anderson, Henri Cazelles, David Noel Freedman, Shemaryahu Talmon, and Gerhard Wallis.The intention of the writers is to concentrate on meaning, starting from the more general, everyday senses and building to an understanding of theologically significant concepts. The lexical work includes detailed surveys of a word’s occurrences, not only in biblical material but also in other ancient Near Eastern writings. Sumerian, Akkadian, Egyptian, Ethiopic, Ugaritic, and Northwest Semitic sources are surveyed, among others, as well as the Qumran texts and the Septuagint; and in cultures where no cognate word exists, the authors often consider cognate ideas.TDOT’s emphasis, though, is on Hebrew terminology and on biblical usage.
