Thanks Hugh
    The books are listed on page 30 of Wallace's book  under these 
categories, he also says in the footnote for a more detailed  discussions see Metzger, 
pages 46-52, and standard critical commentaries.  
He also says the books are listed in a descending order of purity, thus  
Hebrews is more literary then 1 Peter, and Revelation is more Semitic then Mark.  
He also says the list is based more on syntax.

Jim,  

Congratulations on the vocabulary milestones. Forums
like this will  help you not to become complacent. 

Thinking on your question made me  think of a question
I wanted to ask of the list members. I am  traveling
and only have a few books with me, so I will have to
go from  memory in asking my question. In Daniel
Wallace's big book on syntax, in  the introduction, he
lumps the books of the NT into three categories.  I
will list the three as I remember them with a couple
of examples.  Vulgar (Mark, Revelation), Conversational
(Matthew, Pauline letters),  Literary (Acts, Hebrews, 1
Peter). I was wondering what list members  thought of
these categories? I thought of these categories
because they  affect how I think of the canon in terms
of difficulty of translation.  Thanks.

ex animo

Grace and  peace
