Sinopsis

A fresh look at the Greek New Testament through the science of language. This inaugural lecture by James Hope Moulton explains how the study of Greek is transformed by comparing papyri, inscriptions, and other cognate languages. It shows how linguistic methods illuminate meaning beyond traditional grammar.

This edition surveys how language research changes our understanding of biblical Greek. It explains the role of the grammarian, the value of the papyri for everyday language, and how different NT writers reflect varied linguistic backgrounds. The talk also explores how comparative philology connects Greek to Hebrew, Aramaic, and other branches of the Indo-European family.


  • How ancient texts and inscriptions reveal everyday Greek used in its historical context

  • Why author style varies from Hebrews-influenced to more colloquial Greek among NT writers

  • How grammar and language history inform biblical interpretation

  • Where comparative philology fits into biblical exegesis and textual criticism



Ideal for readers interested in linguistic history, biblical studies, and the methods behind language-based exegesis.

But it is time to turn from this preface to the subject which has been announced. I wish to describe to-night, as well as I can, the road by which both my predecessor and myself came to the study of the Greek Testament.

Excerpt from The Science of Language and the Study of the New Testament, Being the Inaugural Lecture Delivered on January 30th, 1906

The history of this Lectureship, in connexion with which I have the honour of appearing before you to-night, illustrates the many-sidedness of Greek Testament study. In other English Universities it has been the close preserve of the clergy, and has been associated with the special type of learning which finds its chosen field in the ponderous tomes of early Christian literature. But the Greenwood Lectureship has had a very different history. Founded sixteen years ago, by the munificence of Mr. C. J. Heywood, it bears the name of a layman, one who is not likely to be forgotten so long as this University is faithful to the ideals of its great Principal. But it does not merely perpetuate the memory of Principal Greenwood. It is intended to keep up the study of a subject he loved to teach. I have heard old pupils of his speak with peculiar warmth of the Greek Testament class Dr. Greenwood used to take, one which had no definite relation to degree courses, but consisted of students of all kinds, drawn together by the enthusiasm of his teaching, and the love of the subject which they shared with the unprofessional teacher. No wonder the University chose another layman to take charge of the subject when Dr. Greenwood's voice was heard no more! I feel that my election quite rudely breaks the succession - though, indeed, I may plead that Dr. Wilkins Alma Mater and my own would have regarded us as equally unelectrical had we sought her permission to teach theology within her walls.
