Quick access to Septuagint vocabulary and syntax for students of the Greek New Testament

Interest in the Septuagint today continues to grow stronger. Despite that interest, students have lacked a guidebook to

the text similar to the readers and handbooks that exist for the Greek New Testament. Discovering the Septuagint: A Guided Reader fills that need. Created by an expert on the Septuagint, this groundbreaking resource draws on Jobes’s experience as an educator in order to help upper-level college, seminary, and graduate students cultivate skill in reading the Greek Old Testament.

This reader presents, in Septuagint canonical order, ten Greek texts from the Rahlfs-Hanhart Septuaginta critical edition. It explains the syntax, grammar, and vocabulary of more than 700 verses from select Old Testament texts repre-senting a variety of genres, including the Psalms, the Prophets, and more.

The texts selected for this volume were chosen to fit into a typical semester. Each text (1) is an example of distinc-tive Septuagint syntax or word usage; (2) exemplifies the amplification of certain theological themes or motifs by the Septuagint translators within their Jewish Hellenistic culture; and/or (3) is used significantly by New Testament writers.

Karen H. Jobes (PhD, Westminster Theological Seminary) is professor emerita of New Testament Greek and exegesis at Wheaton College and Graduate School in Wheaton, Illinois. Her previous publications include Invitation to the Septuagint, coauthored with Moíses Silva.

A compendium of biblical insights on the world of tomorrow and the hope to come

We live today in a world whose problems far surpass our ability to manage them. Social unrest and growing

intolerance at home, terrorism abroad, worldwide simmering ecological and financial crises—the changes escalating on this planet point to a daunting future. What we desperately need is hope.

Hope is what the Bible offers. From Genesis to Revelation, it points toward God’s coming kingdom beyond the suffer-ings and injustices of this present age. “The essays in this book provide an overview of ‘the blessed hope’ among the people of God,” writes Timothy George in the foreword, “beginning with the Bible and continuing through the many challenges, reversals, and revivals of this hope in the course of Christian history.”

The twenty-eight contributors to Eschatology: Biblical, Historical, and Practical Approaches communicate biblical per-spectives on what the future holds for the world and the follow-ers of Christ. In four parts it explores: • The Doctrine of the Future and Its Foundations • The Doctrine of the Future in the Bible • The Doctrine of the Future in the History

of Christian Thought • The Doctrine of the Future and Christian Ministry

For Bible students and readers who desire a deeper biblical understanding of the future, this book offers a multifaceted view of both the challenges and the promise that lie before us.

A powerful, time-saving new study resource for readers of the Greek New Testament

Only by immersing oneself consistently in the Greek New Testament can students, pastors, and other readers gain

facility with the language. This invaluable guide from Charles Lee Irons streamlines and enhances the process, allowing readers to interact with the Greek text with minimal interruption and maximum understanding.

By focusing specifically on syntax, this guide takes its place among other resources as a time-saving new tool that builds on, rather than replaces, what already exists. In the author’s words, it “picks up where these other tools leave off, presupposes their use, and moves on to more complex issues of syntax, translation, some textual criticism, and limited exegesis.”

Eminently useful, A Syntax Guide for Readers of the Greek New Testament • Provides brief explanations of intermediate and advanced

syntactical features of the Greek text • Suggests translations to help the reader make sense of

unusual phrases and difficult sentences • Eliminates the need for the reader to stop and look up

intermediate, advanced, or unusual grammatical features of the Greek text

• Recognizes Hebraic constructions, Semitic inferences, and Septuagintisms

• Closely follows the Novum Testamentum Graece, 27th and 28th editions

Charles Lee Irons (PhD in New Testament, Fuller Theological Seminary) began his studies of classical and koine Greek as an undergraduate at UCLA and has studied the Greek New Testament for twenty-six years. An ordained Presbyterian pas-tor, he currently serves as the director for the Office of Research Administration at Charles Drew University.
