4.0 out of 5 stars Hallidayan analysis of the Greek in Acts, February 1, 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: Transitivity-Based Foregrounding in the Acts of the Apostles: A Functional-Grammatical Approach to the Lukan Perspective (Journal for the Study of the New Testament Supplement) (Hardcover)
This is an application of Hallidayan Functional Grammar to selected episodes (including narrative and speech material) of Acts. The book is a revision of the author's Ph.D. thesis completed at the University of Surrey, U.K. in 1999.

Among the episodes studied are the Pentecost episode, Stephen's arrest and speech, and the epiosode of Paul's shipwreck in Acts 27. The author applies Hallidayian grammar to the transitivity choices made by 'Luke' (the 'who does what do whom' statements) and concludes that 'Luke's' perspective on the divine control over human affairs is purposely reflected in his linguistic choices at the clause level and below.
