For myself, I have adopted the motto, "Delete with abandon!" I've deleted
about 15 of these messages so far, I guess. Gee, I must subscribe to the

Hello All:
I am writing a letter to the company and mailing it to them this afternoon.
I also am considering sending them 15 copies of the junk they sent me
(postage due, of course!). I wish there were some way our list owner could
screen out such junk, but like some others, I just "delete with abandon".
Oh well . . . .

- --=====================_813452879==_
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"
I have not seen a list of used book sources posted on b-greek (perhaps
because I'm pretty new to the list), but just in case there is no such list,
I would like to start one. I'd be happy to receive other sources to add to
the list if anyone knows of other used book stores that deal in Greek,
Biblical resources, etc., pertinent to the b-greek list. If you email the
information to me, I will include it on this first, and somewhat paltry
beginning list. (paltry in size only - these are my best sources!)
It would be good to check with such sources to see if they are willing to
search their stock in response to phone, fax, or mail requests. Not all are
equipped to do so. Perhaps we can build a list of sources that will be of
help to the b-greek folks.

Van Ness Goetchius and the workbook. It goes much better in a
full year college course than a one semester seminary course, but all his
examples are from the NT and the exercises in the workbook are based on the
NT adapted to the level of the student at the time. I found it very helpful
to beginning students.
It is still available from Charles Scribner's Sons in NY.

Subject: Q. on Metzger and Wikgren
I have a request:
Some time back someone (I forget who) referred to a disagreement between
Metzger and Wikgren in the matter of textual criticism. I wonder if someone
might enlighten me on the nature of that disagreement.
I'm not looking for gossip. I'm doing some writing on the history of engish
versions, and I'm simply wanting information about the contemporary state of
text criticism, especially among translators.
I had the (naive?) idea that there was a basic agreement on that committee as
to the basic approach to textual variants--that is, that an eclectic approach
should be used, following certain agreed upon rules to determine which
variants are more likely to be secondary. Was I wrong?
Thanks in advance for responding.

If I'm not mistaken the AUTHN is read for THN hEAUTOU VUCHN rather than for
AUTOU. Also add a fifth variant, the omission of an object in the Latin MS q.
But to date I have failed to see what the _et_ adds that a "|" wouldn't give.

My copy is a 1983 reprint by Baker. Ask at your school's bookstore if it is
still in print (surely it is; there is nothing else like it). If it is, it
can be ordered by any bookstore, including CBD, because Baker is a regular
source. If it is out of print in America, try writing Blackwell's in Oxford,
England. When the exchange rate is right, you can order books first published
in England cheaper from them anyway, even with the shipping costs added.

This fairly narrow definition of "ecstasy" suggests
sometihng of a very different character than the Sybilline
oracle making pronouncements while inhaling seemingly mind-
altering vapors influencing state of mind. Using this
understanding of ecstasy, I fail to understand what
the ecstatic nature of glossalalia has to do with the
argument that was being made. It seems to have shifted
from what the text means to the significance of it being
ecstatic. Your understanding of ecstasy makes the nature
of toungues as ecstatic become virtually irrelevant to
the argument Paul is making, which is exactly my point.
It doesn't matter whether it is ecstatic or not. It only
matters within the house church whether it is
understood by hearers. I was responding to what I perceived
as an emphasis on its "ecstatic" quality, which however it's
defined, makes little difference for Paul's meaning.
Either way, the speech is from God, whether prophecy or
tongues. Either way, it is God's Spirit speaking though the
individual, without the individual coming up with the words
themselves. So that is not the contrast that Paul is
making, is it?

Subject: Romans 4:7-8
Suggested translation:
7) Blessed (happy) are those whose lawless deeds were forgiven and whose
sins were covered over.
8) Blessed is the man whose sin the lord himself might not place to one's
account.
NOTE: I have AFEThHSAN as aorist passive indicative.
COMMENT: Ernest Campbell, Romans, vol 1, p.132, indicates that the passive
voice here makes it clear that a group of people "did nothing" to obtain the
state of blessedness. I am still never sure how to translate that word
MAKARIOS.
I do not understand why the passive voice would necessarily indicate they
"did nothing." I realize the passive voice would normally indicate that the
subject is acted upon. However, does this fact always render the subjective
inactive? If I say, "I was cured by the doctor," could not that also assume
that I took the medicine prescribed by the doctor? Then, would there not be
some sense in which I "did something" to bring about my healing?
NOTE 4:3 -- EPISTEUSEN DE ABRAAM TW THEW KAI ELOGISThH AUTW EIS
DIKAIOSUNHN. But isn't EPISTEUSEN "doing something?" Here the verb is
"active." I understand the active voice to mean the subject is acting rather
than being acted upon. Why not the passive voice in some form here if faith
or belief is something which must always be considered a gift from God?
+++++++++++
NOTE: I understand vv. 7-8 to be quotes from the LXX though I have not
checked to see if they have been paraphrased. Campbell also makes the
somewhat interesting statement that exact quoting for Paul is not so
important as is the conveying of the meaning of the quote. He seems to feel
that even the exact meaning may not be so important at times as is the
"(Spirit's) use of the OT passage to make Paul's point." But that's for
another time!!!

Hi, all!
I have been "a reader only" for about four months and have absolutely enjoyed
the discussions...although I took Greek a zillion years ago, Paul taught it
to me in the prison at Rome in the afternoons!
Seriously, I am a Pastor in Birmingham, AL, (3 years) and originally came
from KC. A few years ago I began to refresh my Greek and today I use
Hermeneutica's Bible Works for Windows (Praise God for computers!).
I realize that this question has a lot of theological (or ecclesiastical)
ramifications, however I am only interested in the insight gained from the
text. So, here's my question. Can we tell from the Greek usage of the word
"one" (hen) in 1 Ti 3:12 if Paul is referring only to polygamy? What insight
can you give me? Many thanks...keep up the good work.
In Christ, Randy <><
