This book contains essays by Albert Wifstrand, most of which have
previously only been published in Swedish. The author brings his
range of learning and insight to bear on fundamental questions
regarding the Greek of the New Testament. By bringing a full range
of stylistic, grammatical and socio-historical data into
consideration, Wifstrand finds a place for the language of the New
Testament within the evolution of post-classical Greek. This
includes full appreciation of the so-called classicistic
renaissance in language and culture in the early Empire and its
influence on the development of later Greek. Wifstrand's firm grasp
of the full history of the Greek language and culture from
classical to Byzantine times allows him to offer original insights
into the difference between Greek and modern prose style. In the
course of his discussions, he also offers insightful analysis of
how the Greeks viewed the Romans, the ancient views of the child,
and how ancient cosmology was related to their conception of the
entire universe. Writers that he treats in detail include the New
Testament authors of Luke and Acts, the Epistles of James and
Peter, Melito, and Galen, among others.
