The first textbook that systematically links syntax and exegesis of
the New Testament-perfect for students of Greek who are
"second-year" or at an intermediate level. For seminary students,
the goal of studying Greek grammar in the first place is to
ultimately get beyond the grammar itself and understand it well
enough to use it in the accurate exegesis of biblical texts. Greek
Grammar Beyond the Basics-the most up-to-date Greek grammar
available-integrates the technical requirements for proper Greek
interpretation with the actual interests and needs of Bible
students. It explores numerous syntactical categories, some of
which have not previously been dealt with in print, and has a
number of distinguishing features, including: Exegetically
significant illustrations, discussed in depth. Semantic
situations-or contexts for simple semantics-are developed and
analyzed. Expanded definitions and numerous examples and
syntactical categories. Grammatical statistics listed at the
beginning of major sections. Scores of charts, tables, and graphs.
Sound exegesis requires that the exegete consider grammar within a
larger framework that includes context, lexeme, and other
linguistic features. This textbook faithfully equips intermediate
Greek students with the skills they need to do exegesis of biblical
texts in a way that is faithful to their intended meaning. The
expanded edition contains a subject index, a Greek word index, and
page numbers in the Syntax Summary section.
New York Times bestselling author Dr. Darrell Bock teams up with
Dr. Daniel Wallace to help you separate fact from fiction among
constant attacks on Christianity from popular culture and bogus
scholars. There is a quest going on to reduce Jesus to a mythic
legend or to nothing more than a mere man. Scholars such as Elaine
Pagels and James Tabor are using recent discoveries like the Gospel
of Judas and the Gospel of Thomas to argue that the Christ of
Christianity is a contrived figure and that a different Christ-one
human and not divine-is the "true" Christ. Both research
professors, Bock and Wallace set out a vigorous defense of
Christianity against a popular trend that they dub "Jesusanity",
where Christ was simply a human teacher. In their trademark,
easy-to-understand style, the authors take on attempts to redefine
Jesus in a convincing way that will help you understand that the
orthodox understanding of Christ and his divinity is as trustworthy
and sure as it ever was. This book: Refutes the six main claims
that represent a large part of skepticism about Jesus today
Provides credible answers to attacks on the traditional texts
Defends against the interpretations of bogus scholars and the
arguments of biased scholars Constructs a positive case for the
Jesus of faith If you're exhausted by the constant attempts to
dethrone Jesus, renew the security of your knowledge of who Jesus
really is: the Son of God.
Daniel B. Wallace s groundbreaking books Greek Grammar Beyond the
Basics: An Exegetical Syntax of the New Testament and Basics of New
Testament Syntax have become the standard textbooks among colleges
and seminaries for teaching New Testament Greek syntax. This
workbook, designed to accompany both books, presents a dynamic
approach to learning Greek syntax. Instead of simply learning
syntax in single-verse snippets, students are exposed to all of the
major syntactical categories in exegetically and theologically
significant passages."
Since the unexpected popularity of Bart Ehrman's bestselling Misquoting Jesus, textual criticism has become a staple of Christian apologetics. Ehrman's skepticism about recovering the original text of the New Testament does deserve a response. However, this renewed apologetic interest in textual criticism has created fresh problems for evangelicals. An unfortunate proliferation of myths, mistakes, and misinformation has arisen about this technical area of biblical studies. In this volume Elijah Hixson and Peter Gurry, along with a team of New Testament textual critics, offer up-to-date, accurate information on the history and current state of the New Testament text that will serve apologists and Christian students even as it offers a self-corrective to evangelical excesses.
From the worldwide phenomenon of "The Da Vinci Code" to the
national best-seller "Misquoting Jesus," popular culture is being
bombarded with radical skepticism about the uniqueness of Christ
and the reliability of the New Testament. "Reinventing Jesus" cuts
through the rhetoric of extreme doubt expressed by these and
several other contemporary voices to reveal the profound
credibility of historic Christianity. Meticulously researched,
thoroughly documented, yet eminently readable, this book invites a
wide audience to take a firsthand look at the solid, reasonable,
and clearly defensible evidence for Christianity's origins.
"Reinventing Jesus" shows believers that it's okay to think hard
about Christianity, and shows hard thinkers that it's okay to
believe.
