Product Highlights
"A work of thorough scholarship stressing the meaningful and pictorial suggestions that are often implicit in the original text but lost in translation." Word Pictures in the New Testament was originally published as a six volume set between 1930 and 1933.In this 6 volume set, Robertson analyzes a key word or phrase from almost every passage of the New Testament, stressing those meaningful and pictorial nuances often implicit in the original Greek, but lost in translation. Not only does he cover syntax, but he gives background information such as where else each word appears, as well as the connotations of the original Greek. About the Author Archibald Thomas (A. T.) Robertson was born on November 6, 1863 in Pittsylvania County, Virginia. In 1879, Robertson entered Wake Forest College without a high school degree. While attending Wake Forest, he completed high school courses, the standard baccalaureate degree, and the Master of Arts program. Robertson showed a proclivity for languages at the school winning medals in French and Latin and placing second in his Greek class. After graduating from Wake Forest in 1885, Robertson moved to Louisville to attend the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary . He received a Th.M. in 1888 and worked as a teaching assistant for John Broadus. In 1890, Robertson became an associate professor at the seminary. He married Broadus's daughter, Ella Broadus on November 27, 1894. When Broadus died in 1895, Robertson became Southern's professor of New Testament Interpretation, a position he held for thirty-nine years. Robertson was the premier New Testament scholar of his generation. A voluminous writer, Robertson published forty-five books including Harmony of the Gospels, Grammar of Greek New Testament in the Light of Historical Research, An Introduction to the Textual Criticism of the New Testament and Word Pictures in the New Testament. This body of literature reflects a general bent toward language study over theological reflection. His work A Grammar of the Greek New Testament in the Light of Historical Research, published in 1914, was the capstone of his career. It drew accolades from all corners of the globe and was used by diverse figures in their work including Robertson�s seminary contemporaries, professors in secular institutions, and the Pope. Robertson was an active churchman at Fourth Avenue Baptist Church, a frequent contributor to denominational papers and magazines, and a member of the editorial board of the Baptist Argus. He twice delivered the prestigious Stone Lectures at Princeton Seminary. He also played a pivotal role in the foundation of the Baptist World Alliance in the early 1900s. The quintessential scholar and Southern Baptist leader died of a stroke on September 24, 1934.
