Book Review
I discovered this book from a footnote in another book, and I am really glad to have taken a first pass at it. It takes a deep dive into the usage of the Greek word "soma" (body) in the Scriptures, and it is very much an academic book. Thus, it is not an easy book to read straight through; however, the detail and nuance of argument is super helpful for study and refinement. Naturally then, there are lots of footnotes, and Gundry interacts with a few other scholars on this issue. He also touches on some questions that I have had for years now, and I am thankful for his work here.
I am nuts about books. I read on all kinds of topics. I attempt to review each book I read for the sake of my own enrichment as well as conversation starters with others.
You never know what you will find in an attic! Usually there is a hodgepodge of things buried under dust.
Most of what is included here are notes to myself. The majority of folks will not find interest in these posts.
