Brief daily readings from the Hebrew Bible and the Greek New
Testament help seminarians and pastors keep their language
skills well honed.
Following in the tradition of the well-received Light on the
Path, which was published in the early 1980s, More Light on the
Path provides a unique and useful resource for pastors and
seminary students who desire to keep their biblical language
skills well-honed. Like the earlier volume, this work consists
of brief daily readings drawn from the Hebrew Bible and the
Greek New Testament. Grammatical notes and translation helps are
provided with the text, and in most instances, the reader will
be able to work through difficult sections without having to
turn to lexicons or other reference works.
Several improvements have been made over the earlier work. To
assist clergy who are working through the liturgical calendar
and are concerned to integrate their study time with their
sermon preparation, the texts are arranged thematically to
reflect the church year. Furthermore, each daily reading is
accompanied by a brief prayer or meditation for those who would
like to utilize their reading of the biblical texts for a
devotional time.
Clergy and seminarians, who are often pressed by ministerial
duties and classes that do not require the use of biblical
languages, will welcome this useful volume that provides them
with the opportunity to maintain a daily schedule of study and
prevent the erosion of their language skills. |
