I, II, III John: A Handbook on the Greek Text (Baylor Handbook on the Greek New Testament)
This handbook continues the admirable pattern of applied scholarship displayed in the Acts volume by providing real help for the student, pastor or scholar who wants to make sense of the Greek text of the Johannine epistles. The author's linguistic training as evidenced in his approach to semantics, syntax and structural features leads to a volume providing information that is simply unavailable in the standard "commentaries." Readers will then be better prepared to use those commentaries and to make wise exegetical choices. This volume is miles beyond any "analytical lexicon" that you may have on your shelf. I heartily recommend this volume and anticipate any future "handbooks" that are developed along this model.-Dr. William Varner, Master's College, Santa Clarita, California
