<x-charset iso-8859-1>Clay, thanks for posting these messages. Discourse study is absolutely
critical to understanding the full meaning of the Greek text. We lose much
if we don't see the language forest, as well as the trees.

For those who are interested, here is more info on Levinsohn's book you are
reviewing:

Discourse Features of New Testament Greek.
by Stephen H. Levinsohn. 1992. 222 pp. $12.00
Each of the thirteen chapters discusses one or more discourse features of
Koine Greek from the perspective of descriptive linguistics. Each feature is
illustrated from passages of the New Testament. Most sections end with
review questions and suggested answers.

The book can be ordered starting from this SIL webpage:
