Greetings from Costa Rica to the always-enriching b-greek conference list!

I too was a student and friend of Dr Archer, at Fuller in the early 50s.
I too was massively impressed by his linguistic skills, but had one
serious problem: his enormous language abilities did not seem to translate
into equal skills in exegesis and biblical theology. Behind that lies for
me a broader question about the relationship between language per se (and
ability to translate at sight) and interpretation skills (hermeneutics,
exegesis, biblical theology and expository preaching).

Just my dos centavitos for the moment,
                        Juan Stam, Universidad Nacional, Costa Rica
