Bücher der Reihe The Scholars Bible

What prompted the anonymous author of Luke to edit his sources-Mark and Q-and retell the story of Jesus? Using the Scholars Version translation that is true to the everyday Greek of the gospel writers, Pervo explores the who, when, where, why, and how of the Gospel of Luke. Includes the Greek text, introduction, notes, and cross-references.

A lively commentary, intended for a wide audience, raises as many questions about the text of Matthew as it answers. It uses the Scholars Version intended for more secular use than other versions and frequently discusses how the Greek, which is printed opposite the English, was translated, engaging the reader in the issues that arise when one turns an ancient language into vernacular American English.
