NT GREEK STUDIES |

I've recently made several additions to the recommended list of Greek Commentaries. There are also some changes to the General Commentaries. I've also jotted down some brief notes and thoughts under certain commentaries. I may in time continue and add to this and develop things into short "commentary reviews".

Wow! You really beefed it up! Fabulous selection. If I could recommend one particular mid-level seriesm], that would be the Bible Speaks Today series edited by John R.W. Stott. I've read a bunch of his commentary on Romans and although it could be argued that they are not very technical, they very exegetically minded, and you can tell he has done his homework in the Greek. The OT half of the series is equally commendable. Anyway, just another suggestion. Excellent work compiling with the links. Thank you!

John, thanks for the comment. I've read some good things about some of Stott's commentaries. I've been thinking about how to categorize them. Some label them as devotional.

Stott probably falls somewhere in between the two categories due to the relatively simple nature of his commentaries combined with a sharp eye for sound exegesis. I'd liken them to the TNTC series, which he also wrote for on occasion.

Here's a possibility on Matthew. Have you heard of it?

Thanks John for the recommendation. I have heard of Keener, but not of this commentary. It seems like it is very deep on history and Jewish background, both things which will help in understanding Matthew's gospel. I'm not sure though that it treats the Greek text. These Socio Rhetorical Commentaries are quite different from what I can tell from a traditional Bible commentary. They seem that they would be greatly helpful though.

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 |
