Description
What are the major conceptual and thematic categories found in the New Testament, and how does understanding them help us create a mental map of the world in which Jesus lived and the world of the early church? By presenting a broad range of New Testament words and ideas and grouping them according to conceptual and thematic categories, this volume helps readers immerse themselves more deeply in these worlds. The entries present the Greek words that lie behind their English equivalents and indicate or trace where these words occur in the New Testament, thereby providing those who have not studied the original languages of Scripture with new insights into the conceptual world of the New Testament that cannot be gained by only studying English translations.
