Elliott, Neil. The Rhetoric of Romans: Argumentative Constraint and Strategy and Paul’s Dialogue with Judaism (Sheffield: JSOT Press, 1990).

Esler, Philip F. Conflict and Identity in Romans (Minneapolis: Fortress Press, 2003).
⊕ I read Esler’s treatment of Romans last winter, and was deeply impressed by his treatment of ethnicity in Romans. This derives partly from his affirmation that we should read Ioudaios as “Judean,” a suggestion I’ve been pushing for a long time, but also partly from the archaeological and historical-cultural dimensions of his analysis. Highly recommended.

Electronic Reference:
The Sword Project Bible Software, available here for Windows and here for Mac OS X.
I’ve test-driven MacSword several times, and found it stable, functional (if a little awkward), and sound. Unfortunately, they don’t have a license for the leading contemporary biblical translations, and the substitutes available from Sword would need checking against more generally-accepted editions (which vitiates the convenience of the electronic version). On the other hand, it’s free and open-source.

Scripture4all Interlinear Scripture Analyzer software (PC only), available here.
I have no basis for evaluating this.

Scripture4all Online Interlinear translations (with parsing information), available here.
These look acceptable, at first glance, though students should note that the Greek text used iss the Westcott-Hort version from the late nineteenth century; that shouldn’t make a vast difference in most cases, but students must always use outdated sources with thoroughly critical caution. The English translation is the Authorized (King James) Version, which renders the English a problematic guide for academic work. The “concordant” interlinear text offers some help, but some renderings might mislead students who rely exclusively on this tool.

The SBL Student Handbook, a style guide for student papers that distills composition rules from the compendious SBL Handbook of Style. Very useful, highly recommended — most of the style notes do not depend on owning the full SBLHS.

AKMA http://akma.disseminary.org akma@disseminary.org In this blog, I’ll post some links to recommended resources for the study of the New Testament. I’ll keep a bibliographic list of links to commentaries, monographs, and articles at the top of a page. That list will change over time, as I learn more or encounter problems with one or another source. After the initial section, I’ll put a horizontal rule
beneath which I’ll write my observations about particular works in the field in question. I’ll leave these open to moderated comments, so that others can make suggestions (to sources I may add above), question my judgment (politely), or otherwise bring to light matters that I hadn’t considered explicitly. As I say, the commentas will be open, but moderated; I will not approve for publication flame wars, ad hominem criticism, or any other entries that don’t befit the tenor of this discussion space.

The point of this blog is not to displace the good work others do in this regard, but to serve as a durable answer to the question students, alums, clergy, and geneeral visitors always ask me: “Do you know of any good books or articles on that?” These pages will serve as my answer —with space for feedback from conversation partners.
