Book description

In this book, Stanley E. Porter offers a unique, language-based critique of New Testament theology by comparing it to the development of language study from the Enlightenment to the present. Tracing the histories of two disciplines that are rarely considered together, Porter shows how the study of New Testament theology has followed outmoded conceptual models from previous eras of intellectual discussion. He reconceptualizes the study of New Testament theology via methods that are based upon the categories of modern linguistics, and demonstrates how they have already been applied to New Testament Greek studies. Porter also develops a workable linguistic model that can be applied to other areas of New Testament research. Opening New Testament Greek linguistics to a wider audience, his volume offers numerous examples of the productivity of this linguistic model, especially in his chapter devoted to the case study of the Son of Man.

Reviews

‘This is an interesting and engaging volume that will raise several important questions for the careful reader about the role of modern linguistics in NTT. Porter is at his best in his retelling of the history of the discipline in the past and the present in light of developments in modern linguistics. Porter deftly maneuvers through these two complex fields and is an excellent guide to their interrelationship.’
