Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Semantics concerns itself with the nature, structure, development, and changes of the meaning of speech forms. While the more popular discipline of etymology has flourished, semantics has not become the subject of standard studies of New Testament Greek. Since semantics is concerned with more than the meaning of words and sentences, Professor Louw attempts to interpret this linguistic discipline to New Testament students who seek meaning in words, phrases, sentences, paragraphs, and complete narratives. By showing how semantics aids in interpreting the New Testament, he enables the reader to detect meaning in the whole of a text rather than in its dissected parts."--
