Inexpensive Resource on the Gospels

9/9/2012

Donald Guthrie wrote what is perhaps the most complete and comprehensive introduction to the New Testament. He offers a wealth of information, particularly concerning the Gospels, and apart from treating each individual gospel, writes nearly 100 pages on the Synoptic situation which is commonly called a "problem", which it is not.

I would not suggest buying the book new, at almost $30, when you can get it for just a few dollars at either of the sellers below. I got mine from Abebooks for $3 after shipping.

Greek Quotes:

Another result when pastors do not study the Bible in Greek and Hebrew is that they, and their churches with them, tend to become second-handers. The harder it is for us to get at the original meaning of the Bible, the more we will revert to the secondary literature. For one thing, it is easier to read. It also gives us a superficial glow that we are “keeping up” on things. And it provides us with ideas and insights which we can’t dig out of the original for ourselves. - John Piper

Not only is this the only well from which we can draw the original force and meaning of the words and phrases of divine utterance, but also those languages (Hebrew & Greek) possess a weight of their own – a vividness which brings home to the understanding fine shades of meaning with power which cannot survive the passage into another tongue. - John Owen
