[Logos] Free audio course: Social World of OT (limited time)

Mobile Ed: OT204 The Social World of the Old Testament (4 hour course - audio)

by David W. Baker
Format: Digital
Publisher: Lexham Press, 2016

Overview

In an age of international travel and migration, we’re familiar 
with people who look, sound, eat, and believe differently than we do. In
 order to become friends, it’s helpful to understand where they come 
from and how they do things differently, or the same, as we do. In the 
same way it is necessary to understand someone who comes from a 
different place than we do, how much more necessary is it to understand 
someone who is from not only a different geographical place, but also a 
different time than we are? The Old Testament starts at the beginning of
 the world. This course will undertake the task of crossing the bridges 
of geography, climate, time, and a landscape unknown to us: ancient 
Israel. Throughout the course, David W. Baker will address aspects of 
life from our own culture and time, as well as family structure and 
societal systems from ancient Israelite life. As we learn more about the
 social world of the Old Testament, we will be struck not only by our 
differences, but also by our common humanity, sharing the same dreams, 
hopes, and fears as they did.

Prepositions are important in the exegesis of the Greek New Testament, but they are at the same time very slippery words because they can have so many nuances. While Prepositions and Theology in the Greek New Testament rejects the idea of a “theology of the prepositions,” it is a study of the numerous places in the Greek New Testament where prepositions contribute to the theological meaning of the text.
Offered in the hope that it might encourage close study of the Greek text of the New Testament, its many features include the following:
  • Coverage of all 17 “proper” and 42 “improper” prepositions
  • Explores both literary and broader theological contexts
  • Greek font—not transliteration—used throughout
  • Comprehensive indexes to hundreds of verses, subjects, and Greek words
  • Discussion of key repeated phrases that use a particular preposition

Biblical Greek: A Compact Guide, Second Edition by William D. Mounce is a handy, at-a-glance reference for students, pastors, and teachers. It follows the organization and format of the fourth edition of Basics of Biblical Greek Grammar, but it is also usable by students who learned with a different grammar. By limiting its discussion to the "nuts and bolts," Greek language students working on translation and exegesis will more quickly and easily find the relevant grammatical refreshers. Students can, for example, check on the range of meaning for a particular word or make sure they remember how aorist participles function in a sentence. The paradigms, word lists, and basic discussions in Biblical Greek: A Compact Guide Second Edition points students in the right direction and allow them to focus on more advanced Greek study.
