General History of Christianity

Finally, we have in Spanish one of the most unique works by a unique scholar, Dr. Archibald Thomas Robertson, of special usefulness for the New Testament scholar due to its peculiar characteristics. As its title indicates, its main purpose is to study and explain the most graphic expressions of the N.T., which it does with remarkable success, providing a grammatical analysis of the text, by order of book, chapter, and verse as it appears in the N.T., as well as making observations on customs and the intersections of the N.T. with coetaneous history where appropriate. With a great emphasis on the stylistic aspects of the authors, it provides numerous incidental proofs of the authenticity and genuineness of the respective books that constitute the New Testament.

Linguistic commentaries not only clarify lexical meanings and interpretive doubts that arise when confronting the original biblical text with different Bible versions but also provide parallels with other languages and historical information that sheds much light on the passage we are studying.

With a good Linguistic Commentary, even those who do not know Hebrew and Greek can delve into the fascinating world of nuances and distinctions in the meaning of words that, otherwise, would be reserved for the exclusive domain of scholars and specialists.

The world of biblical interpretation has two monumental works for this important purpose. Regarding the Hebrew text of the Old Testament, the learned and esteemed Commentary on the Old Testament, written by the Germans C. F. Keil and F. Delitzsch. On the Greek text of the New Testament, the work of one of the most recognized authorities in the specialty, Word Pictures of the New Testament by A. T. Robertson. Editorial CLIE has undertaken the colossal task of making both available to Spanish-speaking Bible scholars.

Based on the Greek text of Westcott and Hort – transliterated into Latin characters to facilitate reading and pronunciation for those who do not know Greek – Robertson comments, verse by verse, on the complete Greek text of the N.T. explaining the linguistic meaning of the most important words and expressions. But it is not limited to lexical analysis; it adds historical and archaeological data, his own illustrative comments, and everything he considers important and necessary at each moment to clarify the passage he is commenting on.

A truly indispensable reference and consultation work for anyone who wishes to delve deeper into the hermeneutical study of the Bible.
