Devotions on the Greek New Testament
About This Book
Fifty-two short devotions based on passages from the Greek New Testament--written by some of the top Greek scholars of today.
The main point each devotion offers comes from a careful reading and study of the passage in the Greek New Testament, not from the English Bible. The authors use a variety of exegetical approaches in their devotions: grammatical, lexical, rhetorical, sociohistorical, linguistic, etc. Some insights focus on particular words and their role in the passage, while others highlight background studies or provide a theological reading of the passage.
Each devotion draws students into translating a short passage and pursuing an understanding of why this or that insight matters for their lives and ministries. Devotions on the Greek New Testament encourages professors, students, and pastors alike to continue to use their Greek Bibles beyond their seminary years.
Celebrated contributors include:
- Scot McKnight
- Daniel B. Wallace
- Craig L. Blomberg
- Mark Strauss
- William D. Mounce
Devotions on the Greek New Testament can be used as a weekly personal devotional or as a supplemental resource throughout a semester or sequence of courses.
