Qualitative Nouns in the Pauline Epistles and Their Translation in the Revised Edition Arthur Wakefield Slaten 2nd edition

The qualitative use of nouns is a subject not generally familiar, but one which, in the interests of accurate exegesis, students of the Greek New Testament cannot rightly ignore. Investigation indicates that it has been largely overlooked by both grammarians and commentators. It is hoped that the present treatment, confined necessarily to a limited field, may both serve to call attention to an important and neglected topic and lead to the application of the principles therein set forth by workers not only in other parts of theN ew Testament but also in the wider field of general Greek literature, A list of the nouns used qualitatively in the Pauline Epistles is presented, showing about nine hundred nouns to be so used. Of these, fifteen have been selected for detailed study, the findings in each case being shown in the form of a statistical and comparative statement of usage, an exhibit of the usage in prepositional phrases, a discussion of the qualitative usage other than in prepositional phrases, and a consideration of the renderings of the Revised Version. The nouns thus studied are vdxos, dxapTL a, Trtcms, SiK aL oarvvrj, eXT rts, evayyc A iov, OeX rjixa, aytos, d8eA. ds, kX tTOS, d7r0(TT00S, CTT tW oTTOS, (T iJ iT rfp, KV pLO i, and 0S. To Professor Ernest DeW itt Burton, Head of theD epartment of New Testament andE arly Christian Literature in the University of Chicago, grateful acknowledgment is made both for the original impetus toward the investigation and for continued encouragement and helpful suggestion and criticism.
