Interview with Charles Lee Irons: Syntax, Exegesis, and Forthcoming

This week we featured Charles Lee Irons’ work, A Syntax Guide for Readers of the Greek New Testament, as our Book of the Week. And it is truly a resource to keep right next to your Greek New Testament. It could shave many precious minutes off your sermon preparation and keep you from flipping through your intermediate syntax categories every few minutes….

Greek Webinar: Mary’s Magnificat

This week we ventured into Luke’s Gospel and translated through Mary’s Magnificat, Luke 1:46-55. As you’ll see, we noted that about 11 of the 12 verbs are aorists, with the only present-tense verb being the very first one, “my soul is magnifying the Lord.” Why do you think all the other verbs are aorists? Comment below to help us out! Especially if you have any sources on it. If you want to tackle some similar Greek from Acts, check out William…

Greek Webinar: Diognetus 9:2-5

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….

Article Published on the Original Reading of James 3:3: “Behold,” or “But if” and Why it Matters?

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. I suggest that ἴδε instead of εἰ δὲ has both older external evidence and a better argument from internal evidence for its adoption….

Greek Webinar: Hebrews 6:4-8

I’m biased, but I’d call our second Greek webinar a fun success! We worked through Hebrews 6:4-8, that thorny (pun on v. 7…) warning passage. Close attention to the Greek will automatically rule out some of the interpretations you’ve probably come across before. I am actually unavailable this Friday June 17, so unless I say otherwise, join us again next time Friday June 24 at 2pm EST. At the end, someone asked about Hebrews resources. Hebrews does indeed have the hardest…
