Beskrivning

Modeling Biblical Language presents articles with some of the latest scholarship applying linguistic theory to the study of the Christian Bible. The contributors are all associated with the McMaster Divinity College Linguistic Circle, a collegial forum for presenting working papers in modern linguistics (especially Systemic Functional Linguistics) and biblical studies. The papers address a range of topics in linguistic theory and the Hebrew and Greek languages. Topics include linguistic model building, temporality and verbal aspect, Greek lexical semantics and Hebrew-Greek translation, appraisal and evaluation theory, metaphor theory, corpus linguistics, discourse analysis, and Greek clausal structure. These various areas of linguistic exploration contribute generally to the interpretation and analysis of the Old and New Testaments, as well as to linguistic theory proper.

Recensioner i media

"This volume informs readership of some recent developments in linguistics and demonstrates how these developments may provide a more nuanced understanding of biblical texts. The essays are helpful in identifying particular linguistic patterns, discourses, and structures that can be used as supportive exegetical tools."Svetlana Khobnya, Journal for the Study of the New Testament Booklist 2017
