Synopsis

A fresh look at the Greek New Testament through the science of language. This inaugural lecture by James Hope Moulton explains how the study of Greek is transformed by comparing papyri, inscriptions, and other cognate languages. It shows how linguistic methods illuminate meaning beyond traditional grammar.

This edition surveys how language research changes our understanding of biblical Greek. It explains the role of the grammarian, the value of the papyri for everyday language, and how different NT writers reflect varied linguistic backgrounds. The talk also explores how comparative philology connects Greek to Hebrew, Aramaic, and other branches of the Indo-European family.


  • How ancient texts and inscriptions reveal everyday Greek used in its historical context

  • Why author style varies from Hebrews-influenced to more colloquial Greek among NT writers

  • How grammar and language history inform biblical interpretation

  • Where comparative philology fits into biblical exegesis and textual criticism



Ideal for readers interested in linguistic history, biblical studies, and the methods behind language-based exegesis.
