THE PASTORAL EPISTLES A Commentary on the Greek Text Stanley E. Porter
New Testament scholar Stanley Porter offers a comprehensive commentary on the Pastoral Epistles that features rigorous bibli- cal scholarship and emphasizes Greek language and linguistics. This book breaks new ground in its interpretation of the Pastoral Epistles by focusing on the Greek text and utilizing a linguistically informed exegetical method that draws on various elements in contemporary language study. Porter pays attention to the overall argument of each book while also delving into the semantics and lexicogrammar to tease out the textual meaning. Attentive to the history of scholarship on these three controversial works, the commentary addresses the major exegetical issues that arise in numerous highly disputed passages and offers innovative answers to traditional exegetical problems. Professors, students, and scholars of the New Testament will value this substantive work.
