James P. Ware | 9780801038891 | 352 pp. | $49.99c
This handsomely produced Greek-English synopsis of parallel or related passages in the Pauline corpus and the Acts of the Apostles provides an essential tool for studying the New Testament text. Conveniently organized by topic, it is the first conspectus of related passages in Paul’s letters to show the original Greek and an English translation on facing pages (following the Nestle-Aland Novum Testamentum Graece and the NRSV). It is also the first synopsis that includes all thirteen epistles attributed to Paul as well as relevant passages from the portrayal of Paul’s teaching and ministry in the book of Acts. This indispensable resource covers over 175 topics and will be of use to New Testament scholars, professors, and students as well as pastors.
Praise for Synopsis of the Pauline Letters in Greek and English
"We have long needed a thorough and up-to-date synopsis of the Pauline letters. . . . This immensely practical tool is a vital resource for the study of the Pauline letters."
Thomas R. Schreiner, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, Louisville
"Ware has produced an invaluable tool for beginning and more advanced students of Paul. . . . [Y]ou will want to keep this volume within easy reach."
Joel B. Green, Fuller Theological Seminary
"Ware's Synopsis of the Pauline Letters in Greek and English provides students, pastors, and scholars with a powerful tool for comparing the Pauline letters. . . . This synopsis, which fills a long-standing need, is destined to become a standard tool for Pauline exegesis."
Frank J. Matera, The Catholic University of America
"It has become fashionable in recent years to lay out parallels to Paul’s writings. The value of being able to examine such parallels so conveniently—without having to use fingers, thumbs, spare pens, and bookmarks to maintain access to multiple passages at the same time—hardly needs to be stressed. This volume, however, provides also the Greek, with some indication of variant readings, which is much better for those who can handle the Greek and who don’t want to be confused by varied translations or misled by any hidden agendas of translators."
James D. G. Dunn, University of Durham
"The new synopsis of Paul compiled by James Ware is a wonderful resource that will delight and inform students and scholars alike. . . . Every serious student of Paul should own it."
Michael J. Gorman, St. Mary’s Seminary & University
"Students of Scripture, pastors, teachers, and biblical specialists alike are indebted to Jim Ware for an indispensable tool."
A. Andrew Das, Elmhurst College
"Ware’s reputation as an excellent teacher finds support in this book, which is pedagogically aware and will be used successfully by readers of the English text as well as the Greek."
Abraham J. Malherbe, Yale University
