Sound Mapping the New Testament - Paperback

by Margaret Ellen Lee (Author), Bernard Brandon Scott (Author)

In the Hellenistic world, writings were read aloud, heard and remembered. But modern exegesis assumes a silent text. This title offers an exploration of writing technology in the Greco-Roman world. It also looks at Hellenistic literary criticism for descriptions of grammar as a science of sound and literary composition as a woven fabric of speech.
