There are some points in this piece that have not been highlighted which could generate useful discussion. For e.g. (from note #6)

There's more on Kittel & the Nazi party in Wikipedia:
Gerhard Kittel was an ardent supporter of the German Nazi party. William F. Albright wrote that, "In view of the terrible viciousness of his attacks on Judaism and the Jews, which continued at least until 1943, Gerhard Kittel must bear the guilt of having contributed more, perhaps, than any other Christian theologian to the mass murder of Jews by Nazis.”

Yet Witness Lee emphasizes his use of Kittel’s works:

“In my home there are close to 100 sets of books by different writers who are authorities on the Bible. For instance, there is a German writer named Gerhard Kittel whose work, Theological Dictionary of the New Testament, specializes in New Testament word studies. He expounded, word for word, the Greek words used in the New Testament. There are ten volumes in this set. One Greek word can have eight to ten pages of explanation, expounding in detail the classic usage of the Greek word, how it was used during the time of the Lord Jesus on the earth, its fundamental usage in the Bible, and its common usage by the Greeks.” [W. Lee, Proper Aggressiveness of the Lord's Serving Ones, Chap 7, Sect. 2] W. Lee commends Kittel’s TDNT highly saying, “There is a very good Greek dictionary—Theological Dictionary of the New Testament—which explains every word in the New Testament. It was written in German by a German brother whose last name was Kittel. The entire New Testament uses more than 7,600 Greek words, and Kittel’s research puts them into 10 big volumes, clearly indicating the usage of every Greek word. He explains the changes in their meanings from their most ancient uses to their classical usages. He also gives clear explanations of how the words were used when the Greek language pervaded the Mediterranean region. Not only so, in these volumes he also discusses the meanings of each word as used in the New Testament writings, as well as their meanings in ordinary usage outside of the biblical writings. From this book we see that Greek words have different usages according to 5 periods of time. Kittel points out all these usages for us. Because of this book we can get to the depths and carefully study every book of the New Testament.” [W. Lee, Speaking for God, Chap. 6, Sect. 5] W. Lee commends Gerhard Kittel’s multi-volume work saying, “The Theological Dictionary of the New Testament written by Gerhard Kittel...contain[s] deep analysis on the meaning and usage of every significant word in the NT.” W. Lee declares, “I consult this set of books the most. As a result I can cut straight the word of the truth according to the Greek language when I expound the New Testament.”
