A Semantic and Structural Analysis of Colossians, 2nd Edition (Semantic and Structural Analyses Series)

The books in this series are analytical commentaries on the Greek text of New Testament books.

Each book first identifies the high-level semantic components of the text and indicates the relationships between them. These components are then further analyzed to identify sub-components and their relationships. This process is continued until the basic units of communication, called propositions, are identified. These propositions are stated in semantically unskewed English glosses. Theme statements for paragraphs and larger units are derived from the analysis. A discussion of the evidence supporting the analysis is also given.
