A Brief Book Notice from Books At a Glance

 

Linguistic studies generally and New Testament Greek, in particular, are areas of learning that have advanced significantly in recent decades. Students who learned Greek years ago have perhaps heard of these advances but often have not been able to keep up. This new book is intended to fill that gap.

Each chapter, each by a specialist, provides an accessible introduction to one current area of discussion/debate and samples its relevance to biblical studies.

A very helpful contribution.
