<li>Exegetical concerns (e.g. figures of speech)</li>
</ol>

This handbook is designed as a step-by-step approach for analyzing and communicating eight letters of the New Testament: Hebrews, James, the Petrine Letters, the Johannine Letters, and Jude. Interpreting the General Letters provides important background material for these books’ interpretation by exploring the types and component parts of letter writing, the importance of an amanuensis; the historical background of the Greco-Roman world, and implications of each of these factors for interpreting the general letters. 
This foundation is followed by a discussion of the theology of the general letters. Specific consideration is given to the era of promise in Hebrew Scriptures, the era of fulfillment as underscored in the general letters, and how the theology of each letter contributes to the overall canon of Scripture. 
Finally, Bateman provides nine steps that move from interpretation to communication: three steps for preparing to interpret the letters, three for interpreting, and finally three for communicating the letters. All explanations include examples in order to develop a student’s or pastor’s skills for accurate interpretation and convicting communication of God’s Word.

To read the Greek text of James is to face a rugged style and brief phrasing that match the fervency of the letter’s meaning. The book of James powerfully exhorts the earliest Christian believers to faithful living. Biblical Greek experts Herbert W. Bateman IV and William C. Varner lay out the linguistic and grammatical features unique to James―such as his specialized vocabulary and prolific use of imperatives―to show how the book’s many strong statements connect to one another in this masterwork on living according to the teachings of Jesus.\nThe Big Greek Idea series provides all the relevant information from the Greek text for preaching and teaching the New Testament. Each New Testament book is divided into units of thought, revealing a big Greek idea (the author’s main idea in the passage), and individual clauses are displayed visually to illustrate their relationships, portraying the biblical author’s logical flow. Greek clauses are accompanied by an original English translation.\nEach volume in this series contains many practical features: 
• Helpful charts, tables, and diagrams illustrate key points 
• Numerous callouts provide deeper insights into word meanings and theological issues 
• Visual cues highlight important information 
• An introduction to each biblical book summarizes the grammar, style, and vocabulary, including reminders and explanations of key terms

Peer, Aaron

Kerux Commentaries enable pastors and teachers to understand and effectively present the main message in a biblical text. Each volume uniquely combines the insights of an experienced Bible exegete (trained in interpretation) and a homiletician (trained in preaching). These two authors work together to explain the essential message for the original listeners or readers, unpack its timeless truth, and then provide a contemporary restatement and communication insights for the key biblical concept. Every book is a resource designed and written with the real needs of the pastor and teacher always in sight, providing many ways to creatively express the principal thought in a biblical passage. Based on the Big Idea preaching model, Kerux enhances the reader's ability to deliver a message that is biblical, cohesive, and dynamic.

SMITH, STEVEN

Designed as a translational guide, this CYBER-CENTER FOR BIBLICAL STUDIES eBook for translating Paul’s letter to the Philippians isolates usage of independent and dependent clauses, provides tips for translating Philippians, and shares exegetical explanations to assist in the translation of the letter. The book divides into three parts. First, Moore and Bateman provide an introduction whereby they prepare readers for translating Ephesians. Second, Moore divides the letter into thirtyfive manageable units for translating the letter while providing contextual orientation for each unit of thought. Finally, Moore makes available an answer key with detailed exegetical explanations about his divisions and translation of the text. Translating Philippians Clause by Clause interacts with lexicons, grammars, and English translations in order to orient the reader/translator to the challenges that come with translating Paul’s letter to the Ephesians. Yet the contextual orientation and clausal outlines enable the reader/translator to trace the author’s flow of thought in a manner that will be helpful for teaching and preaching purposes.
