Translating 2 Timothy Clause by Clause: An Exegetical Guide (EBooks for Translating the New Testament)

Designed as a translational guide, this CYBER-CENTER FOR BIBLICAL STUDIES eBook for translating 2 Timothy isolates usage of independent and dependent clauses, provides tips for translating 2 Timothy, and shares exegetical explanations to assist in the translation of the letters. The book divides into three parts. First, Bateman and Davis provide an introduction whereby they prepare readers for translating Paul’s second letter to Timothy. Second, Davis divides the letter into nine manageable units for translating 2 Timothy while providing contextual orientation for each unit of thought. Finally, Davis makes available an answer key with detailed exegetical explanations about his divisions and translation of the text. Translating 2 Timothy Clause by Clause interacts with lexicons, grammars, and English translations in order to orient the reader/translator to the challenges that come with translating Paul’s second letter to Timothy. Yet the contextual orientation and clausal outlines enable the reader/translator to trace the author’s flow of thought in a manner that will be helpful for teaching and preaching purposes.
