New Testament Discourse Analysis Commentaries “1, 2, and 3 John” & “Philippians” (published)

Post by Matthew Longhorn »

I wasn’t sure whether to post these based on the publisher descriptions but felt them appropriate based off a paragraph from the read sample option on Amazon
New Testament Discourse Analysis Commentaries (NTDAC) is a new and innovative commentary series on the Greek text of the New Testament. The volumes in the series pay close attention to the New Testament books as individual texts, based upon an explicit discourse analytic model articulated in the commentary and exemplified in the linguistic analysis.
Leung - 1,2, and 3 John £35
This commentary approaches 1, 2, and 3 John as social discourses and seeks to provide insights into the use of language in these epistles within their situational contexts. The method of discourse analysis employed to analyze the texts and linguistic characteristics in 1-3 John is based on the model of systemic functional linguistics proposed by Michael A. K. Halliday. The interpretative task of this commentary is to analyze the ways in which the author draws on the vast resources of language to convey his ideas to the audience and accomplish his purposes. Despite the adoption of systemic functional linguistics, the use of jargon is avoided in the interpretation of the Johannine Epistles and the commentary does not demand from the reader a mastery of this discourse analysis method. The insights offered will help open up the text of 1-3 John in a fresh way.

Hyun Lee - Philippians £20

The epistle to the Philippian church was written by Paul when he was advanced in years and imprisoned for preaching the gospel. Despite its relatively brief length, Philippians has been a letter of critical importance in the history of Christian thought, and it remains so today. This commentary explores the content of Philippians through linguistic discourse analysis, a relatively recent but increasingly influential approach in New Testament studies. Jae Hyun Lee provides a meticulous analysis of the Greek text, offering guidance to modern readers in comprehending the themes and flow of Paul's message. This commentary offers a valuable model for careful and sensitive engagement with the Bible.
