    BDAG Abbreviations List
    One of the things that makes BDAG difficult to use is that almost everything in an entry is abbreviated! Here is a Word doc of all the abbreviations. I don't suggest printing it out (it's 103 pages!). Instead, I'm giving it to you so you can search for an abbreviation if you want to do so. You can use the shortcut key combination ctrl+F and find anything in a Word doc.

Don't worry about the ones that are in later chapters of Croy. The idea here is to give you the big picture realizing that it will come into focus a little at a time.
