And I hope you *never* have them buy an analytical! They will never learn
Greek with such a beast and you will be forever frustrated as a teacher if
you allow them to use one. *Do* require a lexicon. I start them on Newman
(realizing its limitations), but tell them that it is a "beginner's
dictionary" and that they will need to move to a "real" lexicon
asap--namely BAGD (whoops! make that BDAG). But since BDAG hasn't
materialized yet, I'm not requiring it at this point (though I will the
first semester that I can actually put my hands on a printed copy of it.)
(I've heard rumors--unconfirmed at this point--that the ship date for BDAG
has been pushed back to Jan '01. Anyone heard anything recently? Esp. those
of you who know Fred Danker?)
