Synoptic Gospels
Scholars Bible Series
Authors: Robert T. Fortna, Richard I. Pervo, Daryl D. Schmidt
The Scholars Bible is essential reading for students, teachers, ministers and others looking for a deeper understanding of the gospels and other canonical and noncanonical texts. Volumes in this series begin with an in-depth introduction that explores questions of literary and historical influences: sources, authorship, date and place of composition, original audience and much more. The Scholars Version translation follows, set side-by-side with the text in its original language. Footnotes offer insights into the text and explain the translation. Particularly challenging translation and interpretation issues are further opened up in cameo essays scattered throughout the book. Also includes cross-references. » Look inside the Gospel of Luke
