The reputation of the NIGTC series is so outstanding that the appearance of each new volume is noteworthy. This book on 2 Corinthians is no exception. Master New Testament exegete Murray J. Harris has produced a superb commentary that analyzes the Greek text verse by verse against the backdrop of Paul's tumultuous relations with his converts at Corinth.

Believing that Scripture cannot be understood theologically unless it has first been understood grammatically, Harris provides a careful, thoroughgoing reading of the text of 2 Corinthians. He gives special attention to matters of translation, making regular references not only to the standard modern English translations but also to influential older versions such as "The Twentieth Century New Testament" and those by Weymouth, Moffatt, and Goodspeed. His close attention to matters of textual criticism and grammar leads to discussions of the theology of 2 Corinthians that show the relevance of Paul's teaching to Christian living and church ministry.

Other notable features of the book include a comprehensive introduction in which all the relevant literary and historical issues are discussed, an expanded paraphrase of the letter that conveniently shows Harris's decisions on exegetical issues and indicates the flow of Paul's argument, a chronology of the relations of Paul, Timothy, and Titus with the Corinthian church, and an excursus on Paul's "affliction in Asia" (1:8-11) and its influence on his outlook and theology.

Prepositions are important in the exegesis of the Greek New Testament, but they are at the same time very slippery words because they can have so many nuances. While Prepositions and Theology in the Greek New Testament rejects the idea of a "theology of the prepositions," it is a study of the numerous places in the Greek New Testament where prepositions contribute to the theological meaning of the text. Offered in the hope that it might encourage close study of the Greek text of the New Testament, its many features include the following: Coverage of all 17 "proper" and 42 "improper" prepositions Explores both literary and broader theological contexts Greek font-not transliteration-used throughout Comprehensive indexes to hundreds of verses, subjects, and Greek words Discussion of key repeated phrases that use a particular preposition

The author of Jesus as God and From Grave to Glory: Resurrection in the New Testament now presents a study of what ancient non-bilical writers said about Jesus of Nazareth, as well as a thoughtful harmonization of the Gospel resurrection narratives.

New Testament scholar Murray Harris examines all New Testament references to Jesus as God, believing that the titles of Jesus encapsulate the early Christian understanding of the role and status of Jesus, and contending that the title of Theos has not received adequate attention from biblical scholars.i

The New Testament finds many ways to depict the relationship of Christians and their Lord. They are his disciples, sons, daughters and friends. But it is perhaps too little recognized that they are also his slaves. In this New Studies in Biblical Theology volume, Murray J. Harris sets out to uncover what it means to be a slave of Christ. He begins by assessing the nature of actual slavery in the Greco-Roman world and the New Testament's attitude towards it. Drawing insights from this, he goes on to unfold the metaphor of slavery to Christ. Among the topics discussed are slavery and spiritual freedom, lordship, ownership, and privilege. Slave of Christ is a model of good biblical theology, providing insights both for future study of the Bible and for practical application. Addressing key issues in biblical theology, the works comprising New Studies in Biblical Theology are creative attempts to help Christians better understand their Bibles. The NSBT series is edited by D. A. Carson, aiming to simultaneously instruct and to edify, to interact with current scholarship and to point the way ahead.

Muchos dicen que Jesus no resucito de los muertos, y entre sus argumentos encontramos la llamada teoria del desvanecimiento, las diversas hipotesis para explicar el sepulcro vacio, las explicaciones psicologicas para explicar las apariciones que la Biblia recoge, y el argumento del Sudario de Turin. Pero, son convincentes estos argumentos? Que contra-argumentos ofrece la fe cristiana? Es Jesus Dios? Algunos aseguran que la Biblia no dice tal cosa, sino que esa es la interpretacion de los creyentes fanaticos. Pero a harris eso no le convence. Analizando el Nuevo Testamento, Harris apela al estatus divino que jesus mismo se atribuye, y que tambien los demas le otorgan, a las funciones divinas que Jesus desempeno, y al titulo divino 'Dios' que se uso para referirse a Jesus."
