<P><FONT SIZE=2>One of the better such treatments is *The Interpretation of the New Testament, 1861-1986,* by Stephen Neill, 2d ed. edited by Tom Wright (Oxford Univ. Press, 1988). This deals with NT studies more generally, but I assume from the issues you list that this is what you're seeking. If you want *Greek* studies in a stricter sense, then perhaps a good resource would be the introduction to a recent major grammar. In that category, perhaps Dan Wallace's is the most recent with the most extensive introduction: *Beyond the Basic of Biblical Greek: An Exegetical Syntax of the NT* (Zondervan, 1996). There are other &quot;intermediate&quot; grammars of recent vintage (e.g., Young, McKay, Porter), but they don't spend much time on the issues concerning which you inquire.</FONT></P>

<BR><FONT SIZE=2>&gt; </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>&gt; </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>&gt; I am looking for good balanced resources on the History of Biblical </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>&gt; Greek/Koine Scholarship. All I have found so far are earnest </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>&gt; Christian </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>&gt; Apology and narrow works motivated by Identity Politics (i.e. Does </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>&gt; Paul condemn Homosexuals, Inclusive Language etc). </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>&gt; </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>&gt; What are the foundations of modern B-Greek scholarship?</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>&gt; Is there a secular element within the biblical Greek community?</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>&gt; What are the Historical Controversies/Conflicts?</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>&gt; What Historical theories have been Discarded?</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>&gt; </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>&gt; This is the kind of questions I am looking for the answers to.</FONT>
