Several appendices examine the Hebrew words and their Greek equivalents, modern translations, and Israel and the nations.

Features:

  • Tables comparing Hebrew to Greek translations
  • Attention to the translation of specific verb forms
  • Introduction and conclusion focused on methodologies and directions forward
