Description

In this volume, a leading expert brings readers up to date on the latest advances in New Testament Greek linguistics. Stanley Porter brings together a number of different studies of the Greek of the New Testament under three headings: texts and tools for analysis, approaching analysis, and doing analysis. He deals with a variety of New Testament texts, including the Synoptic Gospels, John, and Paul. This volume distills a senior scholar's expansive writings on various subjects, making it an essential book for scholars of New Testament Greek and a valuable supplemental textbook for New Testament Greek exegesis courses.

Preface
A ll of the essays in this volume address matters of the Greek New Testament, especially in its linguistic dimensions, variously conceived and defined. There are some theoretical essays, but most of them are applied to particular problems and texts within the Greek New Testament.
None of the essays in this volume has been published before, although one of them draws on a paper published previously. However, the essays were written for a variety of original purposes. Most of them—somewhere around seventeen of them, if I have remembered and counted correctly—were originally delivered at conferences such as the Society of Biblical Literature or Society for New Testament Studies or as invited papers (sometimes both). I appreciated the responses that I received from those who attended, heard, and discussed the papers further. I am especially appreciative of one student at Westminster Seminary in Korea who took the time to go through one paper in detail and provide written comments. These were very helpful, and I am sure that if I read Korean, I would have benefited even further from additional comments he made. In any case, thank you to all who took these papers seriously and responded to them. I also am thankful for the fervent and continuous debate with my former colleague Professor Arthur Gibson about one of the papers. I deeply miss these discussions, and I wish we had been able to continue them over the years. I am sure I have not convinced you, Arthur, about proper nouns, but I have done my best. I am also thankful for comments made on various papers by several of my students, former students, friends, and colleagues, including (but not inclusively) Gus Konkel, Matthew Brook O’Donnell, Hughson Ong, Francis Pang, Andrew Pitts, Steven Studebaker, Randall Tan, and Cynthia Long Westfall, who have even gone so far as to suggest terms and wordings that I have adopted. I also thank Bryan Fletcher for compiling the indexes.
Getting these papers into publishable shape has required the work of two people in particular. I thank my former student and now colleague Christopher Land for initially editing and setting up most of these files for publication. He offered much editorial help and many useful comments on the various essays, from which I have greatly benefited. I also thank my former student Gregory Fewster for his similar help, especially with a couple of essays that were far from being in the complete form that they needed to be. Both of these colleagues have taken on this project with fervor and made the final product much better than it would have been. They not only paid attention to the many small things but also offered global comments and criticism, to the point of suggesting other words and adding words and sentences (and sometimes more!) here and there (many, if not most, of which I have gladly accepted and incorporated), along with rewriting numerous sections. I am very grateful to both for their excellent work.
These papers were mostly written during my time at two different institutions. The University of Surrey Roehampton (now Roehampton University) and McMaster Divinity College both provided the opportunity to complete the research and writing of these papers. Even though I am president of the latter institution, and that is truly my full-time day (and sometimes also night) job, I have been supported in my off-hours research pursuits.
I also thank my friends at Baker Academic for their help in making this project possible, especially James Ernest.
I conclude with thanks once again to my tremendous wife, Wendy, both for being an academic colleague extraordinaire and, far more importantly, for being the soul and spirit of our lives together.
