New Testament Philology

This work is dedicated to David Alan Black, a New Testament scholar who has contributed to the love of the Koine Greek language as it pertains to New Testament studies in numerous ways--as a professor, author, missionary, and editor. The goal of this book is to demonstrate for students the value of continued research in the Greek New Testament. The essays demonstrate how research is currently being done, utilizing such tools as grammatical studies, discourse analysis, textual criticism, verbal aspect, and other linguistic analyses. The chapters include studies on exegesis, verbal aspect, prepositional compounds, relevance theory, and scripture memorization. This book demonstrates the explanatory power of an in-depth usage of New Testament Greek. It is recommended for those who have had at least one year of Greek. Melton Bennett Winstead is Assistant Professor of New Testament and Greek, and Dean of students at Southern Evangelical Seminary. He has published articles in the Christian Apologetics Journal and Criswell Theological Review, and essays in the Lexham Bible Dictionary. Dr. Winstead has also pastored a small Baptist church in North Carolina for the past ten years.
