A Linguistic Model to Analyze New Testament Greek: Six Examples from Mark One

The study presents a model/teaching tool for a comprehensive step-by-step linguistic analysis of passages of the Greek New Testament. The book illustrates the method with a thorough analysis of all words in six passages covering chapter one of the Gospel of Mark: kind of word, full grammatical identification, possible syntactical functions, semantic meanings, and linguistic comments. The repeated steps of analysis suggest an order in which such a process can work best. The process also provides word fields, structural dynamics, and parallel patterns. The approach seeks to fill the gap between the plain Greek text as it stands before us and the work of interpretation. Students, teachers, and scholars will find this to be a foundational work for analyzing the Greek New Testament.
