Prepositions and Theology in the Greek New Testament

An Essential Reference Resource for Exegesis

By Murray J. Harris | Publisher: Zondervan Academic

About the book

Prepositions are important in the exegesis of the Greek New Testament, but they are at the same time very slippery words because they can have so many nuances. While Prepositions and Theology in the Greek New Testament rejects the idea of a “theology of the prepositions,” it is a study of the numerous places in the Greek New Testament where prepositions contribute to the theological meaning of the text.

Offered in the hope that it might encourage close study of the Greek text of the New Testament, its many features include the following:

  • Coverage of all 17 “proper” and 42 “improper” prepositions
  • Explores both literary and broader theological contexts
  • Greek font—not transliteration—used throughout
  • Comprehensive indexes to hundreds of verses, subjects, and Greek words
  • Discussion of key repeated phrases that use a particular preposition
