“Advances in linguistics have made significant contributions to our understanding of biblical Greek and hence our interpretation of the biblical text. Even so, many New Testament students and scholars are often unaware of these advances or find it difficult to know where to begin to understand the issues and how to appropriate linguistic contributions for their own studies. Linguistics and New Testament Greek offers essays by scholars who are actively engaged in current linguistic and New Testament scholarship. These essays survey the issues and debates in clear and accessible language that will help the nonspecialist as well as those who are already reasonably familiar with some of these issues. This volume goes a long way toward building a solid bridge between linguistic advances and the study of New Testament Greek.”—Dana M. Harris, associate professor of New Testament, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School 

“Linguistics and biblical exegesis often seem like estranged family members. The essays in this volume give readers a snapshot of some of the discussions taking place in linguistics, and it is instructive to see where the contributors agree and where they dissent. Virtually all the authors explain the relevance of their contribution for biblical studies, and I hope this book will be one step forward in restoring the relationship between linguistics and exegesis.”—Thomas R. Schreiner, James Buchanan Harrison Professor of New Testament Interpretation and associate dean, Southern Baptist Theological Seminary 

“In this welcome volume, leading specialists address major questions currently being discussed in the linguistic study of the New Testament. It will no doubt be appreciated by those with a good command of New Testament Greek who are interested in supplementing their practical competence with a viable theoretical basis.”—Heinrich von Siebenthal, Staatsunabhängige Theologische Hochschule Basel; author of Ancient Greek Grammar for the Study of the New Testament
