Written for Our Instruction: Essays in Honor of William Varner - Hardcover

by Abner Chou (Editor), Christian Locatell (Editor)

The chapters in this volume were written in honor of Dr. William Varner's decades of service and teaching in the church and the academy. Because of the breadth of Dr. Varner's academic engagement, the contributors cover a variety of subjects including linguistics, exegesis, theology, intertextuality, textual criticism of Old and New Testament texts, early Christian literature, and the land of the Bible. Many contributors follow Dr. Varner's lead in exploring and developing the relationship between several of these topics at once. With essays focusing on theoretical foundations for approaching Scripture and on concrete applications of particular texts, this volume yields just some of the fruit of Dr. Varner's labor and demonstrates its applicability both in the academy and in the church.
