Discourse Analysis and the Greek New Testament Text-Generating Resources (Hardcover): Stanley E. Porter, Matthew Brook... Discourse Analysis and the Greek New Testament Text-Generating Resources (Hardcover)
Stanley E. Porter, Matthew Brook O'Donnell
R3,393 Discovery Miles 33 930 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

This volume examines and outlines a Systemic Functional Linguistic (SFL) model of discourse analysis and its relationship to New Testament Greek. The book reflects upon how SFL has grown as a field since it was first introduced to New Testament Greek studies by Stanley E. Porter in the 1980s. Porter and Matthew Brook O’Donnell first introduce basic concepts regarding discourse analysis and the major approaches towards it within New Testament studies. They then provide a detailed exploration of discourse analysis in terms of the textual metafunction, beginning with an introduction to the architecture of language within SFL, before exploring several individual elements within it. By focusing upon these individual components – in particular, theme and information structure, markedness and prominence, and coherence and cohesive harmony – Porter and O’Donnell introduce and exemplify the major resources of the textual metafunction.

Hermeneutics, Linguistics, and the Bible - The Importance of Context (Hardcover): Stanley E. Porter Hermeneutics, Linguistics, and the Bible - The Importance of Context (Hardcover)
Stanley E. Porter
R2,884 Discovery Miles 28 840 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

The volume present Stanley E. Porter's considered thoughts and reflections on key questions of meaning and context, addresseing the problems of biblical interpretation and how a close collaboration between hermeneutics and linguistics can help to solve them. The chapters display Porter's work in both fields, examining how hermeneutics functions as a field in modern biblical studies, and how the quest for meaning in biblical texts is underpinned by the study of linguistics. The volume focuses on context for understanding the meanings of biblical texts. Porter suggests that linguists can learn more from the philosophical questions around meaning that hermeneuts apply in their study of biblical texts, and that there is more fruitful work to be done in the field of hermeneutics using insights from linguistics.

Interpretation for Preaching and Teaching – An Introduction to Biblical Hermeneutics (Paperback): Stanley E. Porter Interpretation for Preaching and Teaching – An Introduction to Biblical Hermeneutics (Paperback)
Stanley E. Porter

Renowned biblical scholar Stanley Porter offers an accessible introduction to hermeneutics to help students and pastors better interpret and understand God's Word. Interpretation for Preaching and Teaching focuses on various levels of interpretation and proclamation, which are arranged in a necessary hierarchy: language and linguistics, the biblical text, biblical theology, systematic theology, and homiletics. Stanley Porter grounds the discussion within a conversation of biblical authority and offers a fresh examination of the key issues. The result is a workable method that introduces each of the major topics of interpretation and addresses some of the complexities of their use. This book provides the basics for a Bible interpreter to move from fundamental questions about the task of biblical interpretation to understanding a text and its theology to creating and delivering a sermon. It offers valuable guidance for professors and students of hermeneutics and equips pastors and Bible teachers to deliver a relevant message to those who rely on them to be faithful interpreters.

Criteria for Authenticity in Historical-Jesus Research (Hardcover): Stanley E. Porter Criteria for Authenticity in Historical-Jesus Research (Hardcover)
Stanley E. Porter
R6,017 Discovery Miles 60 170 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Historical-Jesus research continues to captivate the interests of scholars, and recently, there has been renewed discussion of the criteria for authenticity. The first half of this volume reviews the state of play in historical-Jesus research and examines the criteria in particular. One chapter is devoted to the so-called 'Quests', and a second critically charts the development of the criteria in the light of form criticism. One of the conclusions of this part of the volume is that several criteria, especially those based on linguistics, need re-evaluation. The second half of the volume proposes three new criteria, based upon use of the Greek language. These criteria are: Greek language and its context; textual variance; and discourse features. The criteria are proposed as a way forward in historical-Jesus research.

Christian-Jewish Relations through the Centuries (Hardcover, illustrated edition): Stanley E. Porter, brook W. pearson Christian-Jewish Relations through the Centuries (Hardcover, illustrated edition)
Stanley E. Porter, brook W. pearson
R6,340 Discovery Miles 63 400 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Christian-Jewish relations have had changing fortunes throughout the centuries. Occasionally there has been peace and even mutual understanding, but usually these relations have been ones of tension, often involving recrimination and even violence. This volume addresses a number of the major questions that have been at the heart and the periphery of these tenuous relations through the years. The volume begins with a number of papers discussing relations as Christianity emerged from and defined itself in terms of Judaism. Other papers trace the relations through the intervening years. And a number of papers confront issues that have been at the heart of the troubled twentieth century. In all, these papers address a sensitive yet vital set of issues from a variety of approaches and perspectives, becoming in their own way a part of the ongoing dialogue.>
