Synopsis

The Lexicon to the Syriac New Testament by William Jennings has been a classic reference for over 85 years. This new edition is now coded to the Light of the Word Ministry (LWM) numbering system which is in use in all of its publications.This lexicon refers to Syriac words that are only used in the New Testament and has "copious references, dictions, names of person and places and some various readings found in the Curetonian, Sinaitic Palimpsest, Philoxenian and other manuscripts." This quotation is taken from the Jennings original title description. There are also many references to specific verses and the meanings of specific forms of the words as used in the context. This is a very useful tool for Bible students in studying the range of meaning of a particular word.
