http://www.perseus.tufts.edu This is probably the best source for ancient, primary sources. It provides both the original Latin or Greek works, as well as English translations of them. It even has the Greek New Testament! You can set the original languages to hyperlink all of the Greek/Latin words, so when you click on them, it will take you to the appropriate entry from the Liddell-Scott-Jones Lexicon.
www.ccel.org “Christian Classica Ethereal Library” This is library of full-text resources, from the time of the apostles onwards.
http://classica.mit.edu/index.html “the Internet Classics Archive” This contains primary sources from “a list of 441 works of classical literature by 59 different authors…Mainly Greco-Roman works (some Chinese and Persian), all in English translation.” It includes authors such as Philo, Josephus, Tacitus, Thucydides, and Homer.
http://penelope.uchicago.edu/Thayer/E/Roman/Texts/home.html “LacusCurtius: Into the Roman World” This site contains the original Greek or Latin, as well as English translations, of over 40 authors from the ancient world.
http://www.thelatinlibrary.com “The Latin Library” This contains primary sources from ancient ancient Latin writers. The works are in the original Latin, although the site also provides links to other good sources on the ancient world.

Rose, H.J. A Handbook of Greek Literature from Homer to the Age of Lucian. New York, 1961. This is not a primary source, but will help you navigate the vast body of literature.
Rose, H.J. A Handbook of Latin Literature form the Earliest Times to the Death of St. Augustine. New York, 1949. [These two works by Rose are excellent, readable, introductions to classical literature, which is the literature that comprises the “Greco-Roman literary environment” of the New Testament. Since Greek, not Latin, was the dominant language of the Eastern Roman Empire, you should probably start becoming conversant with the Greek literature of the time, even though both are tremendously important.]

Greek-English & Hebrew-English Lexicons
Bauer, Walter. A Greek-English Lexicon of the New Testament and Other Early Christian Literature. 3rd ed. Edited and revised by F.W. Danker. Translated and adapted by W.F. Arndt, F.T. Gingrich, and F.W. Danker. Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 2000. (BDAG) [This edition is the newest and best revision of this lexicon. The earlier, 1979 version is quite good, and is the latest edition we have in the library. The older version is abbreviated (BAGD). This is the academic gold-standard for NT word-study.]
Holladay, William L. A Concise Hebrew and Aramaic Lexicon of the Old Testament. Grand Rapids: Eerdmans, 1971. (HALOT) [This is the newest and best Hebrew lexicon. It is easy-to-use, easy-to-read, and is the academic gold-standard for OT word-study. This particular volume is an abridgment of the original, 5-volume, German version of the HALOT, composed by Koehler & Baumgartner.]
Moulton, James H. and George Milligan, The Vocabulary of the Greek Testament: Illustrated from the Papyri and other Non-Literary Sources. Grand Rapids: Eerdmans, 1930. (Moulton-Milligan) [This gives you a word’s usage in the ancient world, based on non-literary texts such as papyri mss, inscriptions, etc. This type of evidence tends to give us a glimpse into how “regular people” used Greek words. It would be analogous to defining modern English words by using evidence from songs, emails, signs, notes, and certain types of blogs.]
Liddel, H.G., and R. Scott. A Greek-English Lexicon. Rev. ed. Aug. by H.S. Jones. 9th rev. ed. Oxford: Clarendon 1996. [This is the academic gold-standard for Classical Greek. It does the same thing as BDAG, except it works with Classical as well as Koine Greek.]
Brown, Francis, S. R. Driver, and C. A. Briggs, eds. A Hebrew and English Lexicon of the Old Testament. Oxford: Clarendon, 1907. (BDB) [For many, this is still the standard Hebrew lexicon. It was the gold-standard for a long time, but has been supplanted by newer lexicons. Because it arranges Hebrew words by their theoretical roots, and because it has not been updated since the turn of last century, it is a good, but not the best, Hebrew-English lexicon out there.]
Theological & Exegetical Dictionaries
Greek or Hebrew-English or English-Greek or Hebrew
Brown, Colin, ed. The New International Dictionary of New Testament Theology. 4 vols. Grand Rapids: Zondervan, 1975-1978. (NIDNTT) [Arranges words in English, in English alphabetical order. Not comprehensive, but discusses words of major theological significance.]
VanGemeren, W.A. New International Dictionary of Old Testament Theology and Exegesis. Carlisle: Paternoster, 1997. (NIDOTTE) [Arranges Hebrew words in Hebrew alefbetical order, (and not by their English translation.) If you don't read Hebrew, then you can still find words by looking in the indexes in volume 5, or in the topical dictionary in volume 4.]
Spicq, Ceslas. Theological Lexicon of the New Testament. Translated by James Ernest. 3 vols. Peabody: Hendrickson, 1994. [Arranges Greek words in Greek alphabetical order. Selective in the words it discusses, but the discussions are quite helpful.]
Jenni, Ernst, and Claus Westermann. Theological Lexicon of the Old Testament. 3 vols. Peabody: Hendrickson, 1997. [Arranges Hebrew words in Hebrew alefbetical order. Selective in the words it discusses, but the discussions are quite helpful.]
Balz, Horst, and Gerhard Schneider, Exegetical Dictionary of the New Testament. 3 vols. Grand Rapids: Eerdmans, 1990. (EDNT) [Arranges Greek words in Greek alphabetical order. Selective in the words it discusses, but the discussions are quite helpful.]
Harris, R. Laird, Archer, and Bruce Waltke. Theological Wordbook of the Old Testament. 2 vols. Chicago: Moody Press, 1980. [This original English composition is a very good place to start your word study. The index at the end of volume 2 is keyed to Strong's numbering system.]
Kittel, Gerhard, and Gerhard Friedrich, eds. Theological Dictionary of the New Testament. Translated and Edited by G. W. Bromiley. 10 volumes. Grand Rapids: Eerdmans, 1964-1976. (Kittel, 1 vol. ed. aka Little Kittel)
[Arranges Greek words in Greek alphabetical order. Multi-volume, thorough discussion of important New Testament words. Definitions are discussed by time period (e.g., Classic Greek and Hellenism; Judaism; NT). The criticism of this work is that it tends to be imprecise about contexts. It does a fine job with diachronic analysis, but does not do so well with synchronic analysis. This is a good source to get a broad sense of the ways a word has been used, but it is not consistently reliable for defining the parameters of how the NT limits the semantic domain.]
Botterweck, Johannes, and Helmer Ringgren. Theological Dictionary of the Old Testament. Revised edition. Translated by John T. Willis. Grand Rapids: Eerdmans, 1975. [This is the Hebrew companion to Kittel's TDNT. The original German of the TDOT was composed from 1970-1995, and, like it's English counterpart, was a multivolume work.]
Gilbrant, Thoralf, and Ralph W. Harris, eds. Complete Biblical Library. 39 vols. Springfield, MO: Gospel Publishing House. [This is a multivolume series of interlinear Old Testament and New Testament books. Words are assigned numbers that correspond to the multi-volume Hebrew and Greek lexicons that are part of the set. It is a quick and helpful way to get a concise survey of the Greek and Hebrew words used in the Bible.]
Mounce, William Dm. Mounce’s Complete Expository Dictionary of Old & New Testament Words. Grand Rapids: Zondervan, 2006.
[Arranges English words in English alphabetical order. Billing itself as the successor to Vine’s Expository Dictionary, Mounce’s dictionary is easy to read and has a number of helpful indices at the back. The dictionary itself does a very good job listing the biblical passages in which the Hebrew and Greek words are used. It does not provide diachronic context, but instead focuses on where the words have been used in the Biblical text.]
Concordances
“Exhaustive” Concordance = Every word, every occurrence
“Complete” Concordance = Every word, not every occurrence
“Analytical” Concordance = word & occurrence, also indicating which original word in which occurrence stands behind the English translation.
Moulton, W.F., A.S. Geden, and H.K. Moulton. A Concordance to the Greek Testament. 5th ed. Edinburgh: T&T Clark, 1978; repr. Grand Rapids: Baker, 1997. [This lists Greek words in Greek alphabetical order according to their occurrence in the New Testament.]
Strong, James. The New Strong’s Exhaustive Concordance of the Bible. New York: Eaton & Mains, 1990. (Strong’s) [Lists English words in English alphabetical order. This concordance lists every English word of the KJV New Testament, followed by examples of each occurrence. The back of the book has a Hebrew-English and Greek-English dictionary, listing the underlying Hebrew or Greek word. Each word in the original language is assigned a number. Because of the popularity of the KJV and Strong’s concordance, these “Strong’s Numbers” are widely used in interlinears and other sources targeted to non-Hebrew/Greek reading people.]
Goodrick, Edward W. and John R. Kohlenberger III, eds. NIV Exhaustive Concordance. Grand Rapids: Zondervan, 1990. [This does the same thing as the Strong’s, but is based on the English of the NIV, not the KJV.]
Kohlenberger, John R., III, ed. The NRSV Concordance Unabridged, Including the Apocryphal/ Deuterocanonical Books. Grand Rapids: Zondervan, 1991. [This does the same as Strong’s, but is based on the English of the NRSV.]
Dictionaries
Powell, Mark Allan, ed. HarperCollins Bible Dictionary. Revised and updated. 3rd ed. New York: HarperCollins, 2011. [This updated edition was a project of the Society of Biblical Literature and represents the best of cutting-edge biblical scholarship. The only drawback is that it’s only one volume long. But it’s a great place to start, and then move on to an Anchor or New Interpreter’s. ]
Freedman, D.N., ed. Anchor Yale Bible Dictionary. 6 vols. New Haven: Yale University Press, 2008. (ABD) [This is a massive, scholarly work on words and ideas related to both Old and New Testament studies.]
Sakenfeld, Katharine Doob, ed. The New Interpreter’s Dictionary of the Bible. 5 vols. Nashville: Abingdon, 2009. [This and Anchor vie for top spot in the multi-volume Bible Dictionary set.]
Bromily, Geoffrew W., ed. The International Standard Bible Encyclopedia. 4 vols. Rev. ed. Grand Rapids: Eerdmans, 1979-1988. (ISBE) [This is another good dictionary. It has more maps and illustrations than the other two, and its bibliographies are quite helpful.]
Freedman, David Noel, ed. Eerdman’s Dictionary of the Bible. Grand Rapids: Eerdmans, 2000.
Richards, Lawrence O. Expository Dictionary of Bible Words. Grand Rapids: Zondervan, 1985.
