Baylor Handbook on the New Testament Series (8 vols.)
Overview
What distinguishes the Baylor Handbook on the Greek New Testament Series from similar resources is the detailed and comprehensive attention paid to the Greek text of the New Testament. Each book in this series explains the syntax of the biblical text, offers guidance for deciding between competing semantic analyses, and deals with text-critical questions that have a significant bearing on how the text is understood. Accessible and succinct, these handbooks address questions that are frequently overlooked by standard commentaries, serving as essential reference tools for New Testament study.
This collection is perfect for students, pastors, scholars, or laity seeking a deeper understanding of the Greek biblical text. What’s more, with Logos, every word is essentially a link! Scripture references are linked directly to the Bibles in your library—both the original language texts and English translations. Double-clicking any word automatically opens your lexicons to the relevant entry, making words instantly accessible. With Logos, you can quickly move from the table of contents to your desired content and search entire volumes and collections by topic, title, or Scripture reference.

I am reviewing Luke and Matthew in the BHGNT What distinguishes this series from other available resources is the detailed and comprehensive attention paid to the Greek text of the New Testament. Each handbook provides a convenient reference tool that explains the syntax of the biblical text, offers guidance for deciding between emulating semantic analyses, deals with text-critical questions that have a significant bearing on how the text is understood, and addresses questions relating to the Greek text that is frequently overlooked. Although this handbook is part of the secondary literature, it will push the reader to the text of Matthew’s Gospel. Olmstead has produced a masterful and incisive treatment of the Greek text of the Gospel of Matthew. This Handbook provides essential detail to understand Matthew's Gospel in the Greek Language. Luke: A Handbook on the Greek Text is part of an expanding Greek commentary series by Baylor University Press that walks a reader through each word, phrase, and verse of the Greek New Testament. The body of the handbook offers an English translation of each section of the biblical text. Next, there is the full Greek text of a given verse. Then follows a word-by-word (and/or phrase-by-phrase) analysis of the Greek NT text. One advantage to this structure is that, without having to have recourse to any other books, the user of this handbook has the full Greek and English texts of Luke in front of them. There is also useful material at the back of the handbook: a glossary of nearly 50 grammatical terms and concepts, a bibliography, a grammar index (with grammatical concepts listed in English and words listed in Greek), and an author index. If I wanted to trace Luke’s use of the double accusative, for example, I’d see a list of verse references in the grammar index for further study. This book is not for the basic Greek student. If you buy this expecting it to be a commentary, you will be very disappointed. This book will be of more use to intermediate Greek students who are working through the text and are sometimes uncertain how to parse or translate a particular word or phrase. This is a specialized work and does not aim to situate each passage in its literary or historical context. The handbook will not replace a good lexicon. Some words simply have parsing information given, with little to no elaboration on the word’s meaning. To be truly comprehensive in this regard would double the size of the book, so it’s an understandable decision. Just keep BDAG close by as you read. That said, in this handbook, you will get detail even down to the level of Greek accents. I am excited to see more coming from this series.Samuel Cerny

There are 18 volumes in this series in paperback. Why does Logos only have 8 of the 18? Can you please get the other volumes? I would much rather have them in Logos than in paperback!

Any update on when further volumes might be available in this series? I'd be keen on getting the 2 Corinthians volume in particular.
