Follow- Hi folks. I'm not sure if you saw it, but my First Timothy commentary (published by Appian Way Press ) is now on prepub: https://www.logos.com/product/129246/lexical-commentary-on-the-pastoral-epistles-first-timothyLexical Commentary on the Pastoral Epistles: First Timothywww.logos.com
- Question: In your note about "God our Savior", Note, however, Lk 1:47 and Jude 1:25, in Luke epi tō theō tō sōtēri mou ‘in God my saviour’. This not a title but an agent noun? Is this correct or I am in error?
- If anyone is still out there following this group, I've recently published a short book (100 pages) called "Second Timothy: Notes on Grammar, Syntax, and Structure." You can get it in print from the publisher or on Amazon: http://appianwaypress.com/second-timothy-notes/Book: Second Timothy: Notes on Grammar, Syntax, and StructureAppian Way Press’ first published book, Rick Brannan’s Second Timothy: Notes on Grammar, Syntax, and Structure, is now available.

- Will we see this book in Logos someday?
- No idea. It's possible they might license it sometime. Print is available on Amazon too, including its European sites.
- If anyone actually follows this author group, you might be interested to know that Lexham Press is publishing my Advent Devotional, "Anticipating His Arrival." https://www.logos.com/product/55341/anticipating-his-arrival-a-family-guide-through-adventAnticipating His Arrival: A Family Guide through AdventAdvent is both about Jesus’ first coming in Bethlehem and his second coming, which we await. In the weeks leading up to Christmas, we remember his first advent and prepare for his second, celebrating both events. Centered around the themes of preparation, anticipation, joy, and incarnation, Anticipating His Arrival helps you guide your family through Advent as your expectation of Jesus’ arrival grows.www.logos.com
- Sure we do! I only hope the prepub goes over and the resource ships in time for Advent 2015 (four weeks)...
- If you're actually following this group on purpose, you may be interested to know I've recently set up a personal web site and blog at http://rickbrannan.com. No guarantees on how frequently I'll post there, but I hope to migrate papers, presentations, and other material there in the future.Rick BrannanEarly Christianity, Textual Criticism, Intertextuality, Discourse Grammar, Koine Greekrickbrannan.com
- Congrats on the almost published Greek Apocryphal Gospels! What was the criteria that you used to choose what works would be included? Are there plans to do the other apocryphal NT works?
- Yeah, we're getting there. On what was included, basically I evaluated existing books — Bernhard's Other Early Christian Gospels, Ehrman & Plese's Apocryphal Gospels, M.R. James' Apocryphal NT, Klauck's Apocryphal Gospels, and probably some others. And conversations with some folks. I'm not immediately interested in other material (e.g. Apocryphal Acts/Epistles/Apocalypse) but won't rule that out in the future. The Apocryphal Gospels seem to have the closest relationship with the NT, both chronologically and in material. Once we get outside of that, it gets pretty wacky pretty fast.
- Thanks Rick. Loved the Matrix post, BTW.
- If you're interested in a devotional for your family for the Advent season, check out my advent devotional. Each day includes a reading and 2-3 basic questions and answers that will hopefully stimulate some discussion. It is based on the readings of the Revised Common Lectionary, year C, which also happens to be the cycle this year (as I understand it). The PDF uses the Lexham English Bible for the readings and is freely downloadable from my personal web site.
- Referring to my two syntax search posts on Granville Sharp - I worked through the searches using Logos 4 based on this post and paper by Rick from over 6 years ago! Remember this Rick?Greek Syntax: Searching for Granville SharpIf you’ve studied NT Greek, you’ve likely heard of something called the “Granville Sharp Rule”. If you’ve been around Bible software, you know that many folks use “finding Granville Sharp” as a sort of litmus test for the capabilities of their Bible software.

- Oh boy do I remember it. Yes, the post was about syntax searching in LDLS3. Thanks for your contribution!
- The Logos 5 release was a good one for me. Two projects I've spend much personal time on over the past year were included. First is "The Apostolic Fathers in English", with a reverse interlinear. This is my own English translation of the writings of the Apostolic Fathers. Second is the "Lexham English Septuagint." While the work was shared by all the editors (myself, Ken Penner, Israel Loken, Michael Aubrey, and Isaiah Hoogendyk), I conceived of it and reviewed just about every word. It was a lot of work, and I'm happy it's ready to be used! If you're interested, there's a bit more info on my personal blog, here:
- These are great tools. Thanks, Rick, and to Logos for being willing to invest in this type of work. A curiosity - what motivated the choice of the Swete's version of the LXX as the base version of the translation?
- Primarily, using Swete's edition leaves Logos free to develop derivative projects (e.g. reverse interlinears) whereas other LXX editions would involve discussions/negotiations with rights holders. That, and Swete offers a decent apparatus that is available with the Greek text. So scrolling the English with Swete's Greek and his apparatus gives a ton of info.
- Thanks, John!
- Just a reminder: due to a feature that has not yet been implemented in Faithlife, you'll have to go to https://documents.logos.com/groups/2817581/documents to get copies of the syntax search documents that have been shared with this group. The one exception to this is "NT - Three Repeating Roots in same Phrase (gaps allowed)". This document is available for collaboration, which means that if you connect to it, the edits that you make will be automatically synced with other users who are connected to it.
- Thanks, David.
