The same problem arises in Greek: a vocabulary list ordered by frequency across the whole New Testament prepares a student for everything in general and nothing in particular. This volume reorders the task.

It is intended to help students, pastors and professors who wish to read a particular book of the Bible in its original language master the vocabulary that occurs most frequently in that book. Christopher J. Fresch's guide works alongside a grammar rather than replacing one, and it is the quickest route into a chosen epistle or Gospel.
