| Publisher Description: The New Testament went through four hundred years of evolution reflecting changing theological positions along the way. No originals can be found unless, by chance, they are someday discovered buried in some vast desert. The New Testament was written in Greek, although spoken in Aramaic. It is not a language easily translated into English. Many Greek verbs have no equivalent meaning in one English word. Meaning is easily lost or may often reflect the theological point of view of the translator. This makes it very difficult for the person on a faith journey trying to find their way. Dr. Burgess, after a lifetime of study and teaching, in this book seeks to make the journey a bit smoother, the path less cluttered, and with eyes opened, a way made clear. |
