Download or read book The Letters to Philemon the Colossians and the Ephesians written by Ben Witherington and published by Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing. This book was released on 2007-11-19 with total page 395 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume completes Ben Witherington's contributions to the set of Eerdmans socio-rhetorical commentaries on the New Testament. In addition to the usual features of these commentaries, Witherington offers an innovative way of looking at Colossians, Ephesians, and Philemon as interrelated documents written at different levels of moral discourse. Colossians is first-order moral discourse (the opening gambit), Ephesians is second-order moral discourse (what one says after the opening salvo to the same audience), and Philemon is third-order moral discourse (what one says to a personal friend or intimate). Witherington successfully analyzes these documents as examples of Asiatic rhetoric, explaining the differences in style from earlier Pauline documents. He further shows that Paul is deliberately engaging in the transformation of existing social institutions. As always, Witherington's work is scholarly and engaging. With detailed "Closer Look" sections, The Letters to Philemon, the Colossians, and the Ephesians is perfect for the libraries of clergy, biblical scholars, and seminaries.

Book excerpt: "Paul was a Jew of the dispersion, familiar with Greek ideas and culture. An exotic style, the corruption of texts handed down to us, and a thick layer of pietistic interpretation produced by 2000 years of Christianity, have obscured his work for us. The purpose of this book, which includes Paul's letters to the Philippians, Colossians, Ephesians, and to Philemon, is to let Paul speak for himself, without the assumptions imposed by many modern readers"--Back cover.

Download or read book The New Testament written by John C Schneidervin and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2021-07-09 with total page 704 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Vivid English Translation (VET) of the New Testament is a faithful, accurate rendering of the original Greek text that is simple, clear, easy to understand, and pleasant to read and listen to. As no other translation does, the VET brings out the vividness of the original Greek text, so its English readers and Bible students are able to see for themselves and appreciate the vividness of the various original Greek writers and their intended meanings. Special attention was paid to translating all the different kinds of Greek verb tenses according to their respective uses to render their vividness in the VET's text. Unlike the VET, popular English translations smooth out the verb tenses into a dead level translation that too often misses the vividness that the Greek verb tenses add to the text, thereby obscuring the original writer's meaning. As often as possible the VET also translated the emphasis of the original Greek wording. The Greek writers commonly chose their word order according to the stress in their mind at the time. The VET chose to bring out that emphasis. The VET has essentially a literal word-for-word correspondence with the original Greek text to bring the reader and Bible student as close as possible to that original Greek text. When a word-for-word translation of a verse would have resulted in a rendering that would have been difficult for the reader to understand, the verse was translated instead sense-for-sense in a readily understandable idiomatic English. Even children can read the VET with great profit and blessing.
