Reading the Bible paragraph by paragraph

a historical context

The New Testament language

The New Testament is important for any further Christian theological development.  Twentieth century linguistic analysis has shown the importance of communicative word structures to express realities.  Words are human expressions about reality, but words convey meaning and feeling only within an understandable shared grammatical linguistic social structure.  The authentic meaning of an utterance does not lie in a dictionary, but within the mind of the expression’s originator.  Words exist in a specific historic time and place.  However, some words endure and transcend spatial temporal limitations, while other words get lost in a particular misunderstood context.  We now know the importance of the post-biblical history of the scriptural texts, the Wirkungsgeschichte, the reception and the interpretation of the biblical texts within a historical context with their varied meanings.
