Basic to learning New Testament Greek is acquiring an adequate vocabulary. Mark Wilson introduces Greek students to a method widely used in general language learning--semantic domains. Wilson arranges Greek words in the ninety-three categories of Louw and Nida's Greek-English Lexicon and includes frequency counts for every Greek word. "Mark Wilson has built on Louw and Nida's work, capitalizing on the association of terms within their semantic domains for the acquisition of vocabulary. What a great idea! This should be a very helpful tool for students moving beyond the basic building blocks toward reading proficiency." --George H. Guthrie, Benjamin W. Perry Professor of Bible Union University "I highly recommend this book to all students as a helpful guide to learning the vocabulary of the Greek New Testament and as a supplement to [Louw and Nida.]" --David Alan Black Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary "This is a book to be warmly commended and heavily used. I think it will greatly reduce the fear of vocabulary study that some students develop because of the previous lack of just this kind of learning aid." --Robert W. Yarbrough Trinity Evangelical Divinity School Mark Wilson (D.Litt. et. Phil., University of South Africa) is the director of the Seven Churches Network. He is an adjunct professor of New Testament at Regent University and has taught biblical Greek at Oral Roberts University. He has edited several of Sir William Ramsay's works, including the full-color revision and update of St. Paul the Traveler and Roman Citizen.

This is the first major study to focus solely on the victor sayings and should prove invaluable to scholars and students of Revelation and apocalyptic literature. It demonstrates that the motif of victory is Revelation''s macrodynamic theme. Chiasmus is proposed as the book''s macrostructure, based in part on the chiastic nature of the promises to the victors, with the later fulfillment of these promises in the book. The proposed forms for the seven letters--forms such as edicts, oracles, and epistles--are examined, and it is concluded that they are a mixtum compositum best called ""prophetic letters."" The sociological significance of victory is explored within the Greco-Roman world. The text of the promises and their co-texts (as reflected intertextually in traditions of biblical literature) receive thorough examination. The eschatological fulfillment of the victor sayings is surveyed in Revelation''s later chapters, especially in chapters 21-22, where the new Jerusalem is depicted. The study concludes with an investigation of the ways that the promises were appropriated for the time and the text world of Revelation.""In this volume Mark Wilson offers a study of the ""victor sayings"" found in the seven letters to the churches in Revelation 2-3. Wilson shows that the theme of victory--particularly the victory of Jesus Christ over the powers of evil--pervades the substance of John''s visions, drawing frequently on the imagery of the victor sayings in the letters to the churches to do so."" --Jeffrey Lamp, Professor of New Testament, Oral Roberts University ""Wilson''s volume is the first academic study to focus solely on the victor sayings in Revelation. Wilson argues convincingly that the victory of the saints, anchored in the victory of Jesus himself, emerges as a prominent theme of the book. The volume will serve as a standard source for scholars, students, and pastors interested in the historical and literary background of the letters to the seven churches."" --J. Rodman Williams, Emeritus Professor of Renewal Theology, Regent University ""Wilson understands and interprets the victor sayings in Revelation 2-3 in the Apocalypse of John by applying a kaleidoscope of scientific expositions of a section of the New Testament as part of the Christian Bible together with relevant sections in the Old Testament. Wilson''s work of reemphasizing and substantiating the basics of the Christian hopes and expectations constitutes a major and vital contribution.""--Herman Lombard, Emeritus Professor of New Testament, University of South Africa Mark Wilson serves as the director of the Asia Minor Research Center in Izmir, Turkey, where he lives much of the year with his wife, Dindy. He is a research associate in the Department of Old Testament and Ancient Near Eastern Studies at the University of South Africa and serves as an adjunct professor of early Christianity at several seminaries. An author and editor of a number of books and articles, Wilson has released three other volumes on Revelation. He is a member of eight biblical and archaeological societies and often leads study tours in Turkey to the ""seven churches"" of Revelation.

"This is a novel idea and an inspired one.

Aune Professor of New Testament, University of Notre Dame Author of the three-volume Revelation in the Word Biblical Commentary series "A useful tool for teachers and a helpful guide for students to many complex and disputed issues. . . . Teachers and students from a great variety of cultural and theological backgrounds will all find that this book enhances their access to and communication of the book of Revelation." --Adela Yarbro Collins Buckingham Professor of New Testament Criticism and Interpretation, Yale Divinity School Author of The Apocalypse and Crisis & Catharsis: The Power of the Apocalypse "More than any book in the Bible, Revelation needs to be visualized to be understood. Charts on the Book of Revelation is a major step forward in doing just that. Every pastor and Bible teacher will benefit from using these charts in their study and as overheads when teaching and preaching through the book." --Grant R. Osborne Professor of New Testament, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School Author of Revelation in the Baker Exegetical Commentary on the New Testament series "If you are looking for helpful maps and charts that are substantive and revealing in regard to the book of Revelation, look no further than Mark Wilson's excellent resources. I know of no better collection of materials that illuminates Revelation than these resources." --Ben Witherington III Professor of New Testament Interpretation Asbury Theological Seminary Author of Revelation in the New Cambridge Bible Commentary series "Charts on the Book of Revelation is a useful supplement to courses on the Book of Revelation in both the church and the academy. Wilson's charts cover a range of historical, literary, rhetorical, and interpretive issues that will guide the careful student in making more viable interpretations of this difficult yet enriching book. An excellent resource to use with today's visual learners as they approach this highly visual book for study. --Robert Walter Wall The Paul T. Walls Professor of Biblical and Wesleyan Studies Chair, Department of Christian Scriptures Seattle Pacific University Author of Revelation in the New International Biblical Commentary series "This is an enormously helpful book, bringing together in visual form extensive comparative data both from and about Revelation. Not to be confused with prophecy charts of a bygone era, here we find charts on everything from various views of authorship and date to extensive list of scriptural allusions and verbal parallels, from John's use of symbols and numbers to all references to angels and demons--and much else--79 in all. Each is carefully annotated with the source of the information. While the parallels are not always convincing, they always provide an interesting place to start and will save the reader much time in collecting data." --David L.
