Since 1914 Cambridge has published The Elements of New Testament
Greek, a best-selling textbook for scholars and students of the
Bible. The original book by Nunn was replaced and succeeded in 1965
by J. W. Wenham's book of the same title; now Jeremy Duff has
produced a new book to continue this long-established tradition
into the twenty-first century. Learning Greek is a journey of many
steps. In this book each of these steps is explained clearly, and
reviewed using questions and exercises. Lessons are ordered so the
most important aspects of Greek are learnt first and the vocabulary
consists of the most commonly occurring words in the New Testament.
Hundreds of examples cover every book of the New Testament and
there is a New Testament passage to translate in almost every
chapter. An audio CD containing vocabulary lists, reading passages
and paradigms is also available to accompany this book. Free
software and teaching resources are also available at the book's
website.
Do you know who wrote Mark's Gospel? At first glance, it may seem a
ridiculous question. 'Mark, of course!' I hear you shout? But who
was Mark? Mark's name doesn't appear on the list of disciples, as
Matthew's does. His Gospel doesn't start with a clear statement of
investigation, as does Luke's, offering credibility. Yet,
remarkably, large chunks of Mark's Gospel appear in both Matthew's
and Luke's work. What's going on? Jeremy Duff provides insightful
answers in his new book Peter's Preaching, revealing how an ancient
source describes Mark as Peter's translator to a Greek-speaking
world. Intriguingly, though, this source also tells us that while
Mark recorded Peter's preaching 'accurately', he did not record it
'in order'. Mark devised his own order of the stories, for his own
purpose, using a structure and format that were as radical in the
first century as ebooks are today. But that is only the start of
Jeremy's detective work in this stimulating book, which moves on to
uncover Peter's thought on the key themes of the Christian message,
found distributed throughout the Gospel. Jeremy pieces these themes
together like a jigsaw to reveal how Peter understood them, and how
that understanding helps us to appreciate the radical nature of
first-century Christian faith.
