While there are almost 1000 questions in the Greek New Testament,
many commentators, pastors, and students skip over the questions
for more 'theological' verses or worse they convert questions into
statements to mine them for what they are saying theologically.
However, this is not the way questions in the Greek New Testament
work, and it overlooks the rhetorical importance of questions and
how they were used in the ancient world. Questions and Rhetoric in
the Greek New Testament is a helpful and thorough examination of
questions in the Greek New Testament, seen from the standpoint of
grammatical, semantic, and linguistic analysis, with special
emphasis on their rhetorical effects. It includes charts, tools,
and lists that explain and categorize the almost 1000 questions in
the Greek New Testament. Thus, the user is able to go to the
section in the book dealing with the type of question they are
studying and find the exegetical parameters needed to understand
that question. Questions and Rhetoric in the Greek New Testament
offers vibrant examples of all the major categories of questions to
aid the reader in grasping how questions work in the Greek New
Testament. Special emphasis is given to the way questions persuade
and influence readers of the Greek New Testament.
