Publisher's Synopsis
Designed as a translational guide, this CYBER-CENTER FOR BIBLICAL STUDIES eBook for translating 2 and 3 John isolates usage of independent and dependent clauses, provides tips for translating 2 and 3 John, and shares exegetical explanations to assist in the translation of the letters. The book divides into three parts. First, Bateman provides an introduction whereby he prepares the reader for translating the letters. Second, Peer and Bateman divide the letters into ten manageable units for translating 2 and 3 John while providing contextual orientation for each unit of thought. Finally, they make available an answer key with detailed exegetical explanations about their division and translation of the text. Translating 2 and 3 John Clause by Clause interacts with lexicons, grammars, and English translations in order to orient the reader/translator to the challenges that come with translating 2 and 3 John. Yet the contextual orientation and clausal outlines enable the reader/translator to trace the author's flow of thought in a manner that will be helpful for teaching and preaching purposes.
