Scripture, Texts, and Tracings in 2 Corinthians and Philippians
advances the interpretation of 2 Corinthians and Philippians by
exploring how the Apostle Paul quotes, alludes to, or "echoes" the
Jewish Scriptures. Identification of allusions is at the forefront,
as are questions about the Torah, God's righteousness,
reconciliation, new creation, new covenant, Christology, lament
language, cultic metaphors, canon, rhetoric, and more.
For those wanting to retain language abilities for research or
recreation, this volume contains the Gospel of Luke and the Book of
Acts in interlinear and parallel formats in Hebrew, Latin, Greek,
English, German, and French.

in Koine as well as a source citation. Speak Koine Greek is a
user-friendly compilation of expressions meant to help learners
progress in fluency and knowledge of Koine while having fun doing
so. As a further add-on, companion audio files for this book are

Second Corinthians is Paul's apology to the Corinthians for failing
to visit them, using rhetorical persuasion in his letters, and
appearing unapproved for the collection. The scholarly consensus
maintains that 2 Corinthians is a conglomeration of letters due to
its literary and logistical inconsistencies. Consequently, most
interpretations of 2 Corinthians treat only parts of it. However, a
different consensus is emerging. Fredrick Long situates the text
within Classical literary and rhetorical conventions and argues for
its unity based upon numerous parallels with ancient apology in the
tradition of Andocides, Socrates, Isocrates and Demosthenes. He
provides a comprehensive survey and rigorous genre analysis of
ancient forensic discourse in support of his claims, and shows how
the unified message of Paul's letter can be recovered. His study
will be of relevance to Classicists and New Testament scholars
alike.

The Greek of 2 Corinthians is some of the most complex of any New
Testament text, displaying Paul's full range of rhetorical
strategies. Long's analysis of the soaring rhetoric locates Paul's
letter within the first-century Mediterranean world, employing
grammar and syntax to provide a window into that time. This
handbook is a must-have for students wishing to master Greek in the
context of New Testament studies.
