Paul'S Gospel In Romans - A Discourse Analysis Of Rom 1:16-8:39

de Jae Hyun Lee

341,85€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 This book offers a fresh approach to Paul's gospel. Applying linguistic discourse analysis to Romans 1:16-8:39, it helps the reader to gain a comprehensive understanding of the argumentative structure and contents of the gospel of Paul. As well as revealing the two underlying descriptive frameworks that Paul uses to explain his gospel about God's salvation - the interactive framework between God and humans, and the 'two-realm' framework - this book demonstrates that Paul's gospel consists of one 'peak point' that shows the central role of Jesus, and two 'sub-peaks' elucidating salvation.

Mark'S Memory Resources And The Controversy Stories (Mark 2:1-3:6) - An Application Of The Frame Theory Of Cognitive Science To The Markan Oral-Aural Narrative

de Yoon-Man Park

266,33€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 This book is a study of the New Testament using the insights of modern linguistics. Its principal concern, above all, is to examine how the Gospel of Mark, produced in an oral-aural culture, may be illuminated by frame theory from cognitive linguistics, a linguistic theory in which the meaning of a word, phrase, clause, sentence, paragraph and thematic unit can only be properly understood against the background of a particular body of knowledge and assumptions. The reason this theory is particulary useful for understanding Mark's ancient text is because as an oral-aural narrative it heavily relies on human memory (cognitive) resources; and so the cognitive theory leads us into a better understanding of ways in which the text is communicated in terms of cognitive processing.

Biblical Translation In Chinese And Greek - Verbal Aspect In Theory And Practice

de Toshikazu Foley

363,05€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 This study integrates three independent subjects-translation theory, Mandarin aspect, and Greek aspect-for the purpose of formulating a working theory applicable to translating the Bible. The primary objectives are defined in terms of grammatical translation of Greek aspect into Mandarin aspect at the discourse level. A historical overview of the Chinese Bible is provided as a way of introducing major translation issues related to linguistic, conceptual, and logistical challenges. The proposed theory provides the translator with a powerful tool, which is tested in two sample passages from John 18-19 and 1 Corinthians 15. Provided, also, are critical reviews of over sixty Chinese Bible versions, Nestorian, Manichaean, Catholic documents, and a translation written according to the proposed theory.

Prestige Language Of Christianity In The Book Of Acts - Historical Sociolinguistic Approaches To Multilingualism

de Sung Min Park

~~257,05€~~ 231,35€ 10% IMEDIATO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Researching ancient languages is notoriously difficult in sociolinguistics, due to the scarcity of data. This challenge is addressed by utilizing recent sociolinguistic theories and models to investigate the prestige languages used by early Christians in Acts. Drawing on historical documents, archaeology, and inscriptions, this study reconstructs the complex multilingual settings of the time. It reveals how Greek, despite the diverse linguistic landscape, became the dominant language in nearly all official contexts of early Christianity. This work breaks new ground in understanding early Christian communities and their linguistic practices, offering historical sociolinguistic approaches to the study of ancient languages and societies.

Johannine Portrayal Of Jesus - Mapping &Quote;I Am&Quote; In The Gospel Of John

de Yan Ma

~~275,60€~~ 248,04€ 10% IMEDIATO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 This book introduces a new methodological framework based on the theory of Systemic Functional Linguistics which can examine the linguistic features of the New Testament text. By applying a two-step discourse analysis model that includes a functional-semantic analysis and a rhetorical-relational analysis, this book argues that the twenty-eight occurrences of "I am" in Jesus's utterances throughout the Gospel of John reinforce John's portrayal of Jesus's divinity. In the light of John's construing of Jesus's divinity, this new analysis of the Johannine "I am" phrases demonstrates how Johannine Christology is expressed through the narrative of John's Gospel with various textual characteristics.

Gospels Or Biographies? The Gospels As Folk Literature

de Ryder Wishart

~~283,55€~~ 255,20€ 10% IMEDIATO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Challenging the widely accepted classification of the canonical gospels as biographies or historiographies, the author argues that they should be classified as collections of folk literature from early Christianity. Drawing on comparative register analysis and re-introducing literary and sociolinguistic insights from the twentieth-century form critics, this insightful study challenges readers to rethink the significance of gospels for understanding Jesus's historical context and relevance for modern readers. The gospels are not merely designed to inform readers about the life of Jesus but also to push readers into accepting or rejecting his teaching. It is a must-read for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the gospel genre and the intentions of the evangelists who compiled them.

Intertextuality Of Paul'S Apocalyptic Discourse - An Examination Of Its Cultural Relation And Heteroglossia

de Doosuk Kim

331,25€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 This book attempts to investigate two strands in a single work: 'apocalyptic Paul' and 'intertextuality'. First, what does 'apocalyptic Paul' mean? Is it synonymous to eschatology as a theological notion, or the end-time mystery? Many seminal works have delved into the intriguing yet unorganized notion of the 'apocalyptic'. Instead of attempting to provide a universal definition of the 'apocalyptic', the author presents his understanding of the phenomenon, particularly in the cultural realm. The author contends that 'apocalyptic' is neither all about the end-time event nor merely a literary genre, but an interpretive lens to understand the world and social phenomena-one that is shaped and developed through culture and society. Accordingly, the term 'apocalyptic Paul' implies how Paul views and understands the world, history, and supernatural phenomena through interaction with his cultural texts and context. Second, the author also suggests that 'intertextuality' is not only about comparative literature study. Rather, intertextuality refers to cultural semiotics: a sign system to deliver the meaning of text. Based on this notion of intertextuality, the author interprets how Paul envisages multiple phenomena (heavenly ascent, resurrection, afterlife, the origins of sin, and two ages) within his cultural context.

Message Of The Jerusalem Council In The Acts Of The Apostles - A Linguistic Stylistic Analysis

de Zachary K. Dawson

332,58€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 By applying a stylistic analysis within a systemic-functional linguistic framework, this study argues that Luke's construal of the Jerusalem Council in Acts 15 and its co-thematic passages attempt to persuade Jewish believers of Luke's audience not to separate from multi-ethnic churches, a goal that is accomplished through subverting the value orientations of a prominent Noahic tradition within Second Temple Jewish literature that promotes strict Jewish isolation from Gentiles. As a result, this study breaks fresh methodological ground in the linguistic study on the New Testament and also advances critical scholarship on the book of Acts.

Register Variation In The New Testament Petrine Texts

de Chiaen Liu

292,83€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 This book examines the nature of the early church from a Petrine perspective, employing an analysis of register to implement a more synthetic study of relevant texts in the New Testament. Liu utilises a type of discourse analysis that provides a framework for classifying grammatical and lexical information so that the reader can better understand the social function of not only Peter's speeches in Acts, but also the two epistles attributed to him. Liu's original and detailed study looks at the content and structure of the texts to enhance our understanding of the early church, with particular attention paid to the dichotomy between Petrine and Pauline Christianity and their competing pictures of Christian origins. This book will interest all scholars and students who wish to extend their understanding of both the historical and literary Peter.

Metaphors In The Narrative Of Ephesians 2:11-22 - Motion Towards Maximal Proximity And Higher Status

de Oscar Jimenez

209,35€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Oscar E. Jimenez opens up the multi-dimensional implications of Ephesians 2:11-22 for narrative and theological analysis, demonstrating that each metaphor in the text blends and creates a single, complex narrative. Concentric spatial places construct the text's landscape on which the Gentiles move, each place representing increasing intimacy and familiarity through national, familial, architectural, and cultic images. Christ is the vehicle of that motion, and also the agent, breaking down walls and abolishing enmity, and ultimately building the structure as both builder and cornerstone. This will be an important book for New Testament scholars and scholars interested in the use of linguistics in Biblical studies, in particular literary and narrative analysis to the New Testament epistles.

Interpersonal Metafunction In 1 Corinthians 1-4 - The Tenor Of Toughness

de James D. Dvorak

265,00€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 In The Interpersonal Metafunction in 1 Corinthians 1-4, James D. Dvorak offers a linguistic-critical discourse analysis of 1 Cor 1-4 utilizing Appraisal Theory, a model rooted in the modern sociolinguistic paradigm known as Systemic-Functional Linguistics. This work is concerned primarily with the interpersonal meanings encoded in the text and how they pertain to the act of resocialization. Dvorak pays particular attention to the linguistics of appraisal in Paul's language to determine the values with which Paul expects believers in Christ to align. This book will be of great value to biblical scholars and students with interests in biblical Greek, functional linguistics, appraisal theory, hermeneutics, exegesis, and 1 Corinthians.

Argument Is War: Relevance-Theoretic Comprehension Of The Conceptual Metaphor Of War In The Apocalypse

de Clifford Winters

363,05€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 In Argument is War: Relevance-Theoretic Comprehension of the Conceptual Metaphor of War in the Apocalypse, Clifford T. Winters demonstrates that the apparent war in the Apocalypse is rather telling the story of the gospel: how Christ will restore Israel and, through them, the rest of the world. When Revelation is viewed through the corrective lens of cognitive linguistics, its violence becomes victory, its violent characters become Christ, and its bloody end becomes the blessed beginning of the New Jerusalem. Revelation is simply telling the story of the early church (the Gospels and Acts) to the early church, and it is using a conceptual metaphor ('ARGUMENT IS WAR') to do it.

Discourse Analysis Of Galatians And The New Perspective On Paul

de David I. Yoon

308,73€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 In A Discourse Analysis of Galatians and the New Perspective on Paul, David I. Yoon outlines discourse analysis from the framework of Systemic Functional Linguistics for analyzing Paul's letter to the Galatians. From this analysis, he determines whether the context of situation better reflects the New Perspective on Paul, covenantal nomism, or a more traditional perspective, legalism. The first half of the book introduces the New Perspective on Paul and discourse analysis, followed by a detailed model of SFL discourse analysis with respect to register and context of situation. The second half is a discourse analysis of Galatians. This is the first monograph-length study to address the New Perspective on Paul from a linguistic approach, and will as such be of great interest to scholars of Pauline Studies, linguistics, and theology.

Pauline Language And The Pastoral Epistles - A Study Of Linguistic Variation In The Corpus Paulinum

de Jermo Van Nes

275,60€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 In Pauline Language and the Pastoral Epistles Jermo van Nes questions the common assumption in New Testament scholarship that language variation is necessarily due to author variation. By using the so-called Pastoral Epistles (PE) as a test-case, Van Nes demonstrates by means of statistical linguistics that only one out of five of their major lexical and syntactic peculiarities differs significantly from other Pauline writings. Most of the PE's linguistic peculiarities are shown to differ considerably in the Corpus Paulinum, but modern studies in classics and linguistics suggest that factors other than author variation account equally if not better for this variation. Since all of these explanatory factors are compatible with current authorship hypotheses of the PE, Van Nes suggests to no longer use language as a criterion in debates about their authenticity.

Translation Theory And The Old Testament In Matthew - The Possibilities Of Skopos Theory

de Woojin Chung

229,23€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 In Translation Theory and the Old Testament in Matthew, Woojin Chung employs a rigorous method of Skopos theory to examine Matthew's citation technique in his infancy narrative and locates the specific purpose of his use of Scripture. He argues that the complex nature of the formulaic quotations and allusion in Matthew 1-2 can be understood in light of new methodological insights. The way Matthew cites the Old Testament for his communicative purpose is congruent to the approach of a Skopos translator who is motivated by a specific purpose of translation. The theory of interpretation of his use of Scripture, therefore, can be informed by the theory and method of translation.

Revisiting Aspect And Aktionsart - A Corpus Approach To Koine Greek Event Typology

de Francis G. H. Pang

225,25€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 In Revisiting Aspect and Aktionsart, Francis G.H. Pang employs a corpus approach to analyze the relationship between Greek aspect and Aktionsart. Recent works have tried to predict the meanings that emerge when a certain set of clausal factors and lexical features combine with one of the grammatical aspects. Most of these works rely heavily on Zeno Vendler's telicity distinction. Based on empirical evidence, Pang argues that telicity and perfectivity are not related in a systematic manner in Koine Greek. As a corollary, Aktionsart should be considered an interpretive category, meaning that its different values emerge, not from the interaction of only one or two linguistic parameters, but from the process of interpreting language in context.

Morphological And Syntactical Irregularities In The Book Of Revelation - A Greek Hypothesis

de Laurentiu Mot

265,00€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Morphological and Syntactical Irregularities in the Book of Revelation by Laurentiu Florentin Mot is an approach to the solecisms of Johannine Apocalypse from a Greek perspective. The work aims at demonstrating that, in accord with Second Language Acquisition studies, Semitic transfer in Revelation is extremely rare. Most of its linguistic peculiarities can be explained within the context of the Greek language. Morphological and Syntactical Irregularities in the Book of Revelation is unique in several ways. First, it deals with the most comprehensive list of solecisms. Second, it treats grammatical irregularities in their own right, looking at their cause, explanation, and contribution to the interpretation of the text. Third, it is interdisciplinary, bringing together textual criticism, Greek linguistics, and NT exegesis.

Greek Article - A Functional Grammar Of ?-Items In The Greek New Testament With Special Emphasis On The Greek Article

de Ronald D. Peters

217,30€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 In The Greek Article, Ronald D. Peters presents a grammar of the Greek article and relative pronoun, categorized as ?-items, which was formulated using the principles of Systemic-Functional Linguistics. This categorization stands in contrast to previous grammars, which have categorically associated the article with the demonstrative pronoun. Thus, the present work represents a significant paradigm shift in the study of the Greek article.Unlike previous approaches that have too often yielded internally inconsistent and contradictory rules of usage, this approach results in a description of the article's function that is uniform across all occurrences. Simultaneously simple and robust, this grammar promises to pay significant dividends for exegetes and translators of the Greek New Testament.

Creation Language In Romans 8 - A Study In Monosemy

de Gregory P. Fewster

217,30€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Modern scholarship tends to understand Paul's use of creation language ([kappa]t?s??) in Rom 8.18-23 as part of a commentary on the state of sub-human creation. This misguided position warrants an inquiry into the state of lexical study in New Testament scholarship. As a result, Fewster articulates a theory of lexical monosemy, cast in the framework of Systemic Functional Linguistics. The model is applied to Paul's use of [kappa]t?s?? through a robust corpus analysis and investigation into the word's role within the paragraph. [kappa]t?s?? contributes to the cohesive structure of Rom 8.18-23 and-contra the majority of interpreters-functions as a metaphor for the human body.

Verbal Aspect In Synoptic Parallels - On The Method And Meaning Of Divergent Tense-Form Usage In The Synoptic Passion Narratives

de Wally V. Cirafesi

227,90€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 In Verbal Aspect in Synoptic Parallels Wally Cirafesi answers the question of why the Synoptic Gospels at times employ different tense-forms to communicate the same action. The problem has typically been explained from the perspective of redaction criticism and temporal Aktionsart approaches to the Greek verb. Cirafesi challenges these approaches by reframing the discussion in terms of recent advances in verbal aspect theory and discourse analysis. He convincingly demonstrates that such differences in tense-form usage have to do with how each Gospel writer wishes to construct their discourses according to various levels of linguistic prominence.
