5.0 out of 5 stars Great Book—Exemplary Word Studies
Reviewed in the United States on May 5, 2014
David Hill takes you on a journey to see how a word study should be done. The first chapter in itself obliterates many of the assumptions that I heard in early preaching about semantics.

Each chapter (after the introduction) is a lengthy analysis of a salvation term: ιλασκομαι (atone), λυτρον (redemption), δικαιοσυνη (righteousness), πνευμα (spirit), ζωη αιωνιος (life or eternal life). Hill pulls from semantically related terms, the New Testament, Septuagint Greek texts, Hebrew words which are translated with the Greek terms, Dead Sea Scrolls, and extracanonical literature, both Hebrew and Greek.

It is academic, and given that I am an amateur, I am only able to read about 5-10 pages in a sitting. But the thoroughness of the analysis adds credibility to Hill's conclusions, making it an exciting read.

If you are not familiar with academic studies of the atonement, prepare to have your socks blown off in the second chapter, which makes connections between Christ's atoning death and intertestamental events in 4 Maccabees. If you want your systematic theology to be defended by half-baked semantics, I would read something else.

I would subtitle this book, "How to Make the Bible Support Protestant Theology." While the author is obviously a well-studied person, and his writing style is sufficiently clear to help one wade through the complicated background context and semantic drift of the lexemes studied, it seems he always ends up making the words support typical Protestant theology. Even if that means the claim that Paul used the dika* root in a way the went against both Hebrew ZDK, rabbinic, and LXX uses? In other words, anyone can claim that Paul used the word (or any word) with a different sense than the historical uses, and then choose what sense they want Paul to use it. I would wish that such arbitrariness would not be in this book, but I cannot say that it is, so I have to give this a lower rating than what I would like. That said, a discerning reader will likely learn a few things along the way. If you want to learn how the New Testament authors used these words, the best way is to dive into a study of each lexeme and its context personally; which admittedly most people will not have time to do. So, like me, they hope that books like this can give a good overview. While not an academic as such, I have learned enough of both Greek and Hebrew to have some serious doubts about some of the conclusions the author draws. That said, these are not easy topics, as his contentions with Barr reveal. I do feel that he has some valid balances to some of Barr's statements, concerning linguistic and lexical methods, but who is to say where the perfect balance is?

I have always been keen to learn Hebrew and Greek and the meanings of both these words. The book has been very helpful.
