A Grammar of New Testament Greek, vol. 4: Style
Overview
Seventy years after the first volume’s publication, Turner brings the grammar to its conclusion. He has rounded off the set in a fashion that should prove both useful and interesting to all students of the New Testament Greek. Style is divided up largely by authors, closely analyzing their distinctive grammatical and linguistic features. Turner discusses the lexical and syntactical features of the various writings which are of special interest in each case. The more general categories of word order, rhetoric, parallelism and parenthesis are also examined. Supplemental charts and indices are included as well. Ample space is given to exploring the ways in which each authors’ dialect or variety of Greek is distinctive from the common Koine. Particular attention is given to Semitic influences in the text.
