This volume continues the major work published by the JSNT Supplement Series in the area of Greek linguistics of the New Testament, and explores what the editors believe are crucial phases in the application of linguistics to New Testament Greek. The first half of the volume includes essays on such topics as linguistics and literary criticism, linguistics and historical criticism, and linguistics and rhetoric. The second half includes essays dealing with the relations and uses of individual words, but ranges from oral composition to the value of word frequency in determining authorship. Some of these essays review established models of research; others propose new models and criteria of linguistic analysis.
The value of this volume is that it accomplishes its purpose to show the value of integrating the insights of modern linguistics into biblical studies. * ExegeticalTools *
I wondered how I could integrate my semantic parsing into the analysis of the biblical texts, and I’m delighted to see Danove doing exactly that. Such a lexicon would tell us a great deal about the semantic, lexical, and syntactic structures that accompany each verb. This could go a long way toward assisting discourse analysts and exegetes … I recommend to all biblical studies students and professors the study of modern linguistics. Since we work with discourses in everything we do, we must know how language works and how to analyze it. This volume makes a solid contribution toward helping us do that. -- Todd Scacewater * Exegetical Tools *
