Introduction Analysis of Greek Text of Luke Exegetical Outline Grammar Index Scripture Index
Alan J. Thompson is lecturer in New Testament at Sydney Missionary and Bible College, Croydon, New South Wales, Australia.
"In line with the vision of Murray J. Harris, who originated the
EGGNT series, Alan Thompson's fine volume on Luke succinctly
provides judicious explanation of the Greek syntax, structure,
grammatical options, the flow of the argument, and more. This
volume will be a gold mine for students and pastors alike who are
keeping up their Greek while studying this Gospel closely. Highly
recommended."
--D. A. Carson, research professor of New Testament, Trinity
Evangelical Divinity School and president, The Gospel Coalition
"Luke is the longest gospel in Scripture and getting good
grammatical help for his inspired work can be hard. That is no
longer the case. Luke's Gospel in the Exegetical Guide to the Greek
New Testament (EGGNT) series by Alan Thompson provides a series of
careful observations about the Greek that can help you negotiate
the terrain. A wonderful tool."
- Darrell L. Bock, executive director of cultural engagement,
Howard G. Hendricks Center for Christian Leadership and Cultural
Engagement and senior research professor of New Testament studies,
Dallas Theological Seminary "This is the book on Luke that teachers
of God's Word have been waiting for. No longer is it necessary to
wade through commentaries, specialist grammar books, and manuscript
discussions to find syntactical and other exegetical details. It is
all here, conveniently and immediately available for busy pastors,
along with homiletical suggestions at the end of each section. I
look forward to the publication of other texts in this series.
Congratulations to Alan Thompson for his diligence, scholarship and
patience in producing this very helpful resource."
--Paul Barnett, retired Bishop of North Sydney; honorary associate
in ancient history, Macquarie University, Sydney; teaching fellow,
Regent College, Vancouver; and emeritus lecturer, Moore Theological
College, Sydney "Exegesis of biblical texts must ultimately be
rooted in the original languages. But often the phrasing and
syntax, along with the content itself, can be perplexing. Alan
Thompson has provided a wealth of helpful material for those
wanting to think carefully about the Greek text of Luke. One part
grammatical guide, one part commentary, this is a valuable resource
for anyone--and I hope there are many--striving to understand,
teach, or preach the Gospel of Luke based on the Greek text."
--Brandon D. Crowe, associate professor of New Testament,
Westminster Theological Seminary, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania "What
shines through in this work is the depth of detail and insight into
the Greek text. While not a commentary, this volume certainly
conveys the author's expertise in Greek grammar, offers numerous
tips to understanding and organizing the text, gives clarity to the
syntax, and allows any reader with a knowledge of Greek to come
away from this with a deeper comprehension of Luke. . . . Alan J.
Thompson has written an indispensable and important tool for
understanding the Greek text of the Gospel of Luke . . . I highly
recommend this to any Lukan scholar, whether newly budding or in
full bloom."
--Ron C. Fay, Criswell Theological Review, 16 Fall 2018 "Thompson
is a long-time student of Luke's writings, and his fine scholarship
is here distilled for the benefit of those entrusted with the
ministration of God's Word. . . . For those readers who are looking
for an accessible, broad, and trustworthy exegetical tool--the
EGGNT's intended audience--Thompson's Luke will prove to be an
excellent and profitable choice."
--Flavien Pardigon, Westminster Theological Journal, 81 Spring
2019. "Imagine having a skilled and exegetically astute pastoral
assistant. . . . That scenario becomes a living reality in this
commentary on Luke by Alan J. Thompson. . . . In this volume nearly
every verse receives individualized treatment, sometimes
extensively but not excessively so."
--David Lertis Matson, Review of Biblical Literature, January 2019
"This book is an important tool for serious study of the Gospel of
Luke in Greek"
--Volodymyr Lavrushko, Journal of Language, Culture, and Religion,
