Linguistics and the New Testament

Reviews / Votes

The value of this volume is that it accomplishes its purpose to show the value of integrating the insights of modern linguistics into biblical studies. * ExegeticalTools * I wondered how I could integrate my semantic parsing into the analysis of the biblical texts, and I'm delighted to see Danove doing exactly that. Such a lexicon would tell us a great deal about the semantic, lexical, and syntactic structures that accompany each verb. This could go a long way toward assisting discourse analysts and exegetes ... I recommend to all biblical studies students and professors the study of modern linguistics. Since we work with discourses in everything we do, we must know how language works and how to analyze it. This volume makes a solid contribution toward helping us do that. -- Todd Scacewater * Exegetical Tools *
