Jamichuk | May 22, 2017 | 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.

Paul_Brunning | 3 altre recensioni | Apr 26, 2016 | While there were several excellent essays: those by Reg Grant, Dan Wallace, Jeff Louie, and Willie Peterson, there were several others that I thought unhelpful and a bit muddled. Eckman's "The Holy Spirit and our Emotions" seemed exegetically unsound. Overall, the writing (or editing) was poor. Knowing Dan Wallace's (the editor) commitment to excellent writing, this surprised me greatly.
Some very useful essays, but overall a disappointment.

matthauck | 3 altre recensioni | Apr 13, 2010 | Wallace's new book on Granville Sharp and the significance of the Greek article in various KAI constructions may very well be up being the best Greek monograph I've read this year (2009). I read then entire book over a period of two days because I couldn't put it down - and that's saying something for a grammar book.
The book begins with a historical sketch of Granville Sharp's life and his scholarly work, as well as a discussion of the initial critical response to his monograph on the Greek article and then also the cause of neglected and abuse of his proposal.
Hopefully, what Wallace has done here will correct that problem and Sharp will be once again recognized as a viable and helpful rule for analyzing Greek articular nominal constructions.
5 stars hands down.

In Chapter 1, Dan Wallace presents a brief, accessible apologetic for the reliability of the New Testament, taking specific aim at Ehrman’s arguments. Next Philip Miller examines Ehrman’s methodology and reveals that Ehrman is committed to the premise that the least orthodox readings are closer to the original text, regardless of whether the textual evidence and scholarly consensus supports him. These two chapters provide a more general overview of the issue. Matthew Morgan and Adam Messer provide a more detailed account by each examining a specific text which are asserted to be ‘corrupt’ by Ehrman and others (John 1.1c and Matthew 24:36, respectively). They each demonstrate the spurious nature of Ehrman’s claims Tim Ricchuiti examines the text-critical transmission of Thomas showcasing where theological interests effected the transmission of that text in line with the theology of the Nag Hammadi writings. In the final chapter, Brian Wright examines the textual evidence for the equation of Jesus as God in the New Testament. Wright demonstrates that such claims are not a result of corruption, but are original to the first century Christian community.
This book is written for a scholarly rather than popular level (and is endorsed by an impressive stream of theological conservative scholars). Certainly students engaged in Biblical studies or textual criticism would benefit from reading this book. Yet, this book is also of value beyond the walls of academia. Giving the ubiquity of Bart Ehrman on college campuses, the New York Times best sellers list, and numerous television appearances, serious engagement with ideas is a necessary apologetic task. A book I read by Sam Harris, one of the so-called New Atheists, recommended Misquoting Jesus because of the way it undermines Christian truth claims and casts doubt on the reliability of the Bible. This book reveals the places where Ehrman’s assertions do not stand up to examination. Some of this book, will be too technical for popular consumption, but the book would make a good addition to a pastoral library and Dan Wallace’s and Philip Miller’s essays certainly are accessible to an educated layperson. I think the arguments in this book will remain significant for the Evangelical community at large.
Thank you to Kregel Publications for providing me with a copy of this book in exchange for this review.
