Overview

How can the task of biblical exegesis be fruitful and meaningful when commentaries and lexicons provide contradictory interpretations and seem to support opposing translations? The Exegetical Summaries Series asks important exegetical and interpretive questions—phrase-by-phrase—and summarizes and organizes the content from every major Bible commentary and dozens of lexicons. You can instantly identify exegetical challenges, discover a text’s interpretive history, and survey the scope of everything written about each verse and phrase. Take your exegesis to the next level with the Logos edition of An Exegetical Summary of Jude.

Top Highlights

“Translators will want to refer to at least four commentaries as they exegete a passage. However, since no one commentary contains all the answers translators need, this book will be a valuable supplement.” (Page 6)

“The absence of the definite article emphasizes the quality of servanthood” (Page 11)

“Matthew 1:2–3 [TG], and only here it is traditionally translated ‘Jude’ to distinguish him from the betrayer, Judas” (Page 12)

“Instead of ἠγαπημένοις ‘loved’, some manuscripts read ἡγιασμένοις ‘sanctified’” (Page 12)

“it stresses God’s initiative [Hie]. This word is a virtual synonym for ‘Christian” (Page 12)
