Digital Verbum Edition
Overview
In Philippians: A Handbook on the Greek New Testament, Lidija Novakovic provides a foundational examination of the Greek text of the Letter to the Philippians. The analysis is distinguished by the detailed yet comprehensive attention paid to the text. Novakovic’s exposition is a convenient pedagogical and reference tool that explains the form and syntax of the biblical text, offers guidance for deciding between competing semantic analyses, engages important text-critical debates, and addresses questions relating to the Greek text that are frequently overlooked or ignored by standard commentaries. Beyond serving as a succinct and accessible analytic key, Philippians also reflects the most up-to-date advances in scholarship on Greek grammar and linguistics. This handbook proves itself an indispensable tool for anyone committed to a deep reading of the biblical text.
