The book as a whole.

Because Adam's framework, were not talking about linguistics now, is
different from Wallace. I am wondering what impact this would have on
his treatment of NT Greek. It might not have any. I saw the book when
it was published and it appeared at first glance to be a standard
treatment of the subject. I didn't read it with this question in mind.
Dr. Conrad is correct that at some point hashing over the merits of
particular authors becomes tedious. I am sure there are millions of
people who wouldn't have any problem reading Wallace. That in fact
motivates others to protest.
