I think the fact that the commentary was rooted primarily in the discourse analysis approach (and in fact thus helped me to really see the structure of the text) was for me the most helpful aspect. Good review, and good resource to spotlight.

Obviously, a perpetual rental would be foolish, but you can access the material temporarily if you need it for a sermon series.<br /><br />Doug Hibbardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01099486048716032843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21212024.post-25113067982597657442013-12-17T13:06:02.539-08:002013-12-17T13:06:02.539-08:00I will be watching for this to hit the print shelv...I will be watching for this to hit the print shelves. <br /><br />I hate that budget issues kept me from jumping on the initial pre-pub price for the whole EEC series, but I couldn't find the money then.

Though some of his insights that you mention were indeed helpful, the layout in discourse analysis was what I benefited from most.Paul Ehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16680036111909848869noreply@blogger.com
