Somewhere out there is the "good life," and we're all scrambling to get it. Glenn Pemberton maintains in this book that we find the so-called good life not in good things but in living well--and the biblical book of Proverbs teaches us how to live that life.
Though based on solid biblical scholarship, A Life That Is Good is not a textbook, commentary, or comprehensive study. It is instead a readable, practical guide to the wisdom found in the ancient book of Proverbs--wisdom on everyday living, speech, relationships, justice, money, and much more. Pastors and church groups in particular will love and benefit from this relevant guide regarding the message of Proverbs for today's world.
only did the Septuagint become Holy Writ to Greek speaking Jews but it was also the Bible of the early Christian communities: the scripture they cited and the textual foundation of the early Christian movement. Translated from Hebrew (and Aramaic) originals in the two centuries before Jesus, the Septuagint provides important information about the history of the text of the Bible. For centuries, scholars have looked to the Septuagint for information about the nature of the text and of how passages and specific words were understood. For students of the Bible, the New Testament in particular, the study of the Septuagint's influence is a vital part of the history of interpretation. But until now, the Septuagint has not been available to English readers in a modern and accurate translation. The New English Translation of the Septuagint fills this gap.
This Workbook, which has been developed in teaching from Machen for about 35 years, enhances Machen's excellent book on beginning New Testament Greek in the following ways. First, it completes the paradigms that are incomplete. Second, it singles out these models for study and review providing practice sheets. Third, it gives summaries of the models to help gain a larger perspective on the grammatical components. Fourth, it provides summaries of the principal parts of verbs. Fifth, it provides a comprehensive review in the Appendix for use during second year translation and additional grammatical study. In these ways this Workbook helps the student in using Machen's superbly sequenced presentation of first year Greek grammar. The Workbook assists the instructor by setting out the important memory work in a convenient form that may also be used outside of class to save class time for translating the sentences and discussing the grammatical points of each lesson.
