This book aims to introduce this new method to New Testament study by integrating the features of New Testament Greek. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBy conducting the rhetorical-relational analyses on selected New Testament passages, including Mt. 19:27– 20:16, Jn. 1:1–18, Acts 9:1–19a; 22:6–16; 26:12–18, Rom. 11:25–32, Heb. 11:1–40, Jas. 2:14–26, and Rev. 4:1–5:14, Ma demonstrates how RST can be applied to interpret New Testament texts. This new method enhances New Testament interpretation by highlighting the rhetorical structure that the author intends to organize and present the text, offering fresh insights into the key message that the author aims to convey to the reader. Designed for biblical scholars, Seminary students, and pastors, this book provides readers with a methodological framework for examining the various linguistic features of the biblical text in terms of both the lexical and grammatical elements, which can be a valuable tool for both scholarly research and sermon preparation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eYan Ma\u003c\/b\u003e is Assistant Professor of Biblical Studies at the Canadian Chinese School of Theology at Tyndale University, Canada\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e29 April 2027\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBloomsbury Academic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eT\u0026amp;T Clark\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9780567727664\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHardback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePage Count: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e224\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight (oz): \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e16.0\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Academic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53258941399180,"sku":"9780567727664","price":108.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/getimage_50d30226-e823-42b3-b038-be9b0a4913e8.jpg?v=1787191860","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9780567727664","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
