We’ll e-mail you a weekly Greek paradigm with instruction and translation exercises.
We’ll e-mail you five lessons in difficult Greek texts to push your language skills.
Watch us translate together through the Epistle to Diognetus, which contains some of the most literary Greek in the Apostolic Fathers. This passage presents many lexemes that are unfamiliar and rare in the NT. But the difficulty of the vocabulary is balanced by the parallelisms that help make translation easier….
A significant observation on which much of my dissertation hinges is that Eph 4:11-16, which uses obvious body imagery, also uses temple imagery. At least five Greek roots in Eph 4:11-16 that describe the church are also used in Eph 2:19-22 to describe the church explicitly as a temple….

This week we tried something new again and translated six verses from Galatians 1 in a digital image of Sinaiticus, courtesy of BibleWorks 10. We had some better participation this week but could still use a few more users with microphones! I read out what people type so everyone can hear it, but bring yourselves next week with a microphone….
This book was the product of a symposium in Perth Australia at Trinity Theological College. Key speakers were Larry Hurtado, Roland Deines, Allan Chapple, and Mark Seifrid.

Paul the Jew. Especially since WD Davies’ Paul and Rabbinic Judaism, the quest for Paul’s Jewishness has continued. Of course Paul has other influences aside from Judaism, but his Jewish roots do often seem to be the most prominent. This new ….
I know Dr. Poythress personally and he’s a wonderful man and a brilliant, interdisciplinary scholar. His books are thought provoking and you are sure to find ideas that will stick with you (perhaps haunt you) for years….
In a recently published article (full PDF linked below), I suggest a different reading in Jas 3.3a from what is found in the critical texts of NA28/UBS4 which read: εἰ δὲ τῶν ἵππων τοὺς χαλινοὺς εἰς τὰ στόματα βάλλομεν εἰς τὸ πείθεσθαι αὐτοὺς ἡμῖν, καὶ ὅλον τὸ σῶμα αὐτῶν μετάγομεν.
