James: A Handbook on the Greek Text
Overview
What distinguishes the Baylor Handbook on the Greek New Testament Series from other available resources on the New Testament 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.
Top Highlights
“While εἰς τό with the infinitive usually introduces a purpose or result clause, in this case it has the force of ‘with regard to.’” (Page 23)
“The characterization of Jesus as ‘Lord’ and ‘glorious’ inclines in favor of the objective genitive here, since a glorious Lord would be an appropriate object of faith.” (Page 34)
“‘half-hearted,’ since that (like δίψυχος) expresses dividedness in the subject’s will.” (Page 10)
“The traditional English translation, ‘James,’ masks the allusion to the patriarch Jacob who, as Israel, became the eponymous father of the twelve tribes to which this letter is addressed.” (Page 1)
“Hence, the participle in the emphatic position probably serves to remind readers that a righteous person’s prayer can accomplish much, if (or ‘once’) it is actually prayed.” (Page 103)
