Greek Prepositions in the New Testament: A Semantic Description, (Paperback)

The meanings of prepositions can be challenging to describe and understand, especially when one preposition is used in a variety of ways. A woman might hold an umbrella <i>over</i><b> </b>her head while puzzling <i>over</i><b> </b>a chess problem. She might also be <i>over</i><b> </b>100 years old. These kinds of variations in usage also occur in Greek. Grammatical differences among the world's languages and translation from one language to another only exacerbate such difficulties.<br><i><br>Greek Prepositions in the New Testament</i> takes a cognitive-functional approach, guiding readers through the diverse meanings and usage of prepositions found in biblical Greek. Each article illustrates a preposition's basic usage before detailing how these patterns are extended and adapted to take on more complex or abstract senses--with examples provided along the way.<br><br>This book is an indispensable and user-friendly guide for students and scholars. It was previously available electronically, but due to demand, it is now in print for the first time. The second edition includes a new introduction and additional material.
