A good book.(I read part 1 ,5 and 6)
This book includes 6 (small) books: 1) Has the church misread the Bible? 2) Literary Approach to Biblical Interpretation 3) God, Language, and Scripture 4) the Art of Biblical History 5) Science and Hermeneutics 6) The study of theology. Each size is around 80 - 130 pages. They don't have to be read in this order, so people can choose the topics they like. I read some of part 1, 5, and 6. I am a ...

God, Language and Scripture

Zondervan, 1991

Rightly dividing the Word of Truth
Why would anyone want to learn biblical Greek and Hebrew? Some think the biblical languages hold the key to deep understanding. Others that a good English translation is all any scholar really needs. In God, Language and Scripture, Moises Silva reveals the truth somewhere between these two extremes. This is a pretty easy read: a brief, semi-popular overview of linguistics in biblical ...

This work celebrates the 50th anniversary of the Journal of the Evangelical Society. It features 9 selected presidential addresses delivered by past JETS presidents. This book has both historic importance and contemporary relevance for the issues evangelicals face. In seeking to preserve orthodoxy today, we benefit by hearing from voices from the past, who strengthened an unswerving commitment ...

Invitation to the Septuagint

Moisés Silva, Karen Jobes

Baker Academic, 2005

Essential Study
INVITATION TO THE SEPTUAGINT is an excellent introduction that should be on the shelf of anyone interested in the Bible. Often the Septuagint is discussed as a topic relevant only to New Testament studies, but Jobes and Silva treat it as an important work in its own right. This study covers the history of interpretation, important scholars who have studied the Septuagint and other topics. Even ...

Biblical Words and Their Meaning: An Introduction to Lexical Semantics

5 reviews
Moises Silva

Zondervan Publishing House, 1983

You'll Never Again Look at a Lexicon the Same Way
Word studies are some of the most abused pursuits in biblical hermeneutics. When we enter the realm of ancient tongues, too often we forget common sense. We create rules of language that we ourselves never follow in our own day-to-day speech. We overload words with deep meanings, whether or not the author intended it. We analyze the life out of scripture, obscuring the text itself. Partially, ...

yes and no!
dr silva is a conservative evangelical who has been on faculty at several well known (reformed) seminaries. this book is written from a conservative perspective and explains that the literal meaning of a passage or verse may not be the upshot of what the author was attempting to convey. dr silva very eloquently says, "the truth of scriptural authority does automatically tell us what a given ...

Moisés Silva

Baker Academic, 2001

High Octane Biblical Scholarship
Silva is at the top of his game in this richly packed combination commentary and discussion on exegetical method. I haven't read anything as rich and thought provoking in awhile. This author has the gifts and ability to take you down into the historical and exegetical discussions of this biblical book at a level of depth that you may not have gone to before. To go down where Silva takes you, ...

Zondervan, 2003

Insights Into Translation
This is a fabulous book. Most of the essays are well worth your time. It is divided into 3 sections: The Theory of Bible Translation The History of Bible Translation The Practice of Bible Translation I particularly appreciated the articles by Don Carson and Mark Strauss, in which they interact with criticism of the TNIV, the updated version of the NIV. I like the way that both authors discuss the ...

Bonded Leather, Baby!
I asked for this Bible in bonded leather for my birthday and my husband was sure I would not want all those foot notes and comments at the bottom of the pages. I do like it. The book is very substantial and hefty but I love having it! I don't always read the comments but they are there when I want them. The comments are decidedly reformed and I really like that. It has a substantial ...

Philippians (Baker Exegetical Commentary on the New Testament)

Baker Pub Group, 1992

A great commentary on a great Epistle!
I never really thought much of Phillipians - I thought it was another letter to another city written by Paul. After reading through this commentary, my opnion has totally changed. Mr. Silvia has carefully crafted a weel documented and easy to follow journey through Phillipinas. He spends time doing word studies (he uses conventional Greek words/letters and then uses the English version of the ...
