Biblical Lexicology: Hebrew and Greek. Semantics – Exegesis – Translation

Lexicography, together with grammatical studies and textual criticism, forms the basis of biblical exegesis. Recent decades have seen much progress in this fields, yet increasing specialisation also tends to have the paradoxical effect of turning exegesis into an independent discipline, while leaving lexicography to the experts. The volume seeks to renew and intensify the exchange between the study of words and the study of texts. The main current and prospective projects of biblical lexicology or lexicography are presented, thus giving an idea of the state of the art.
