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…
This volume came out at the same time as, and as a good complementary volume to the Bloomsbury Companion to Lexicography. Although there is not much overlap in the content, they are two important fields in linguistics (or in lexicography’s case, a field associated with linguistics) that those of us in biblical studies must take heed of….
There is a shortage of user-friendly resources for learning biblical Aramaic. Recently, Miles van Pelt published a grammar with a reader that goes through every Aramaic verse in the OT. There are some helpful grammatical and morphological notes throughout, but not…

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….
Here they are, all the biblical studies books that came out in June that are worth checking out. Did I miss any? Comment below! Otherwise, happy shopping.
Crossway has some solid books for pastors and students wanting some fresh ideas on church planting and ministry. Enjoy the deals and share with your friends.
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….
