A devotional work designed to feature one devotional a week for a year regarding specific details within the New Testament in Greek which provides encouragement and benefit to readers.

The book features a variety of authors who are experts in understanding the Greek New Testament. Verses are provided in Greek and the authors generally point out particularities in the Greek text which are difficult if not impossible to render coherently in an English translation.

In this way the reader gets the benefit of understanding nuances in the Greek text not present in English.

The book requires at least an elementary understanding of Greek syntax and grammar. Most of the points made have value, but as is usual in such a field, one may at times have reason to question whether the syntax or grammar is really attempting to convey what it is being suggested or whether it is a case of wanting the grammar or syntax to be more specific than it really is.

Nevertheless, a profitable devotional for consideration.

*--galley received as part of early review program ( )

52 chapters, In each, a short NT verse or two in Greek, then a reflection on some aspect of Greek grammar or vocab to help us see something perhaps not so obvious in English translation.

We used it over about 2 years as the basis for staff meeting devotions. It's just the right size and degree of difficulty. It helps us keep our languages up, or at least more front of mind. We certainly didn't agree with everything, but that was helpful, too, feulling good discussion.

Marvellous book, now sadly finished with no immediate prospect of another volume from the publishers! More please, Zondervan!
