This collection of research brings together current debates in New Testament textual criticism.Topics range from the significance of catena manuscripts to a newly proposed method of dating manuscripts. Other topics include philology in the digital era, early Protestant Bibles, conjectural emendation, text transmission, and misunderstandings in the Latin Catholic Epistles.While most essays involve aspects of manuscripts as past entities, many of them also discuss the present and the future of interpreting these documents. With the rise of technology, there are tools available that change some of the ways scholars understand textual criticism, but some text-critical discussions don't involve technology at all.This book seeks to inform scholars on the most recent debates and discoveries in this important field of biblical studies. It is flush with images detailing the textual flow of connected manuscripts, charts of digital analysis of manuscripts, illustrations that show the features of text-critical computer software, and images highlighting the interpretive significance of manuscript decoration.

"The apostolic fathers (late first century to mid second century) are early and important links to apostolic Christianity, although there is vigorous debate regarding their connection with the normative teachings of the primitive church. This new reference work, designed to be used alongside Michael Holmes's third edition of the Apostolic Fathers (Baker, 2007) makes these vital writings more accessible by providing students with contextually sensitive glosses of words that occur fewer than thirty times in the New Testament These definitions are presented in the order in which they occur in the texts, along with the frequency of the word in the book, to facilitate a seamless reading process. Thus, students of New Testament Greek will be able to more comfortably expand their studies to read the works of Clement of Rome, Ignatius of Antioch, the Shepherd of Hermas, Polycarp of Smyrna, Papias, and others. This work will spur many students of the New Testament to explore the writings of the apostolic fathers and wrestle with their content, theology, praxis, use of the New Testament, and devotion to the risen Lord."--Publisher's website.

For seminary students, the goal of studying Greek grammar is the accurate exegesis of biblical texts. Sound exegesis requires that the exegete consider grammar within a larger framework that includes context, lexeme, and other linguistic features. While the trend of some grammarians has been to take a purely grammatical approach to the language, Greek Grammar Beyond the Basics integrates the technical requirements for proper Greek interpretation with the actual interests and needs of Bible students. It is the first textbook to systematically link syntax and exegesis of the New Testament for second-year Greek students. It explores numerous syntactical categories, some of which have not previously been dealt with in print. Greek Grammar Beyond the Basics is the most up-to-date Greek grammar available. It 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.
