Summary:

Chamberlain has written several scholarly articles on Septuagint lexicography, and here provides a supplement to the Greek-English Lexicon of the New Testament and Other Early Christian Literature (BDAG), the standard New Testament lexicon. He developed it by poring through and comparing several standard editions of the Greek Septuagint, and finding variations that are not accounted for in the standard lexicon. He does not include the most common words, for which the range of meanings is essentially no different than in BDAG. When the word is not in the New Testament lexicon at all, or is different enough to be considered a totally separate word, he constructs a whole new lexical entry.
