In this volume of essays, Robert Funk first explores the work of artists and thinkers, such as Kafka, Beckett, Henry Miller, Castaneda, Fowles, and Thoreau, in order "to let Jesus' real successors discover him to us." Then, under the heading "Voices of Silence," he reflects on language and modern reality. Funk concludes that the central theological issue—to which he responds with twenty-one suggestions about theology—is whether human beings can find "a real world to which they can give themselves.

Traditional Greek grammars are based on the philological method that assumes meaning resides in single words and that learning a language consists of memorizing vocabulary and nominal and verbal paradigms. The linguistic method, developed during the twentieth century, argues that meaning resides in units of speech, like sentences, not in single words, and that what is needed to learn a language is familiarity with its basic sentence patterns (its syntax), not memorization of vocabulary lists. Originally published in three volumes in 1973, Robert Funk s classic Beginning-Intermediate Grammar of Hellenistic Greek utilizes the insights of modern linguistics in its presentation of the basic features of ancient Greek grammar. Since modern linguistics aims to be descriptive, rather than prescriptive, Funk s Grammar highlights the breadand-butter features of New Testament Greek, rather than how it deviates from classical Greek. Now redesigned and reformatted for ease of use, this single-volume third edition makes Funk s ground-breaking work available once more.
