Chrys C. Caragounis addresses linguistic, exegetical, historical, and theological questions around the New Testament from a diachronic perspective. He treats the Hellenic language as a unity, utilizing relevant linguistic and philological evidence from its entire literary history.

In this volume, Chrys C. Caragounis examines linguistic, exegetical, historical, and theological matters diachronically. The copious utilization of Hellenic sources from all periods of the language throws new light on the subjects discussed. Some of the highlights of the present volume include discussions of the concept of Logos and of the Weltanschauung of the New Testament authors, critiques of sociological reconstructions of Corinthian Christianity, and of the 'New Perspective on Paul', a comparison between immortality (Platon) and resurrection (Paul) as well as an informed treatment of expiation versus propitiation.
