First, a little background for newer ricoblog readers.

I also run/post to a blog called PastoralEpistles.com. I'll let you guess the subject. Yesterday, on PastoralEpistles.com, I posted a link to a dissertation that discusses issues in Bible translation and applies principles discussed in the dissertation to the epistle of Titus.

In my email this evening, I received an email from Wayne Leman, who also happens to run the Better Bibles Blog (which you should check out if you haven't already). Wayne thanked me for posting the link and also provided a link to a general repository of papers and articles dealing with the issue of Bible Translation: Bible translation files available for downloading

I can immediately recommend Dooley & Levinsohn's Analyzing Discourse: A Manual of Basic Concepts; the PDF is available on the above site. I actually have the print for that title, it is available from SIL if you'd rather have bound paper. I'm also interested to read Christoph Unger's Introduction to Relevance Theory, provided I can understand it.

While I'm on the subject of SIL, I need to plug their helpful (though incomplete) series of Exegetical Summaries. These books are awesome, if you're working through a serious exegetical study of an NT epistle or other book, you probably want an Exegetical Summary if one is available. The volumes on Second Timothy and Titus have been helpful to me in my work on the Pastorals.

Update (2005-05-16): Regarding Wilson's question on SIL's Exegetical Summaries in LDLS format, one of them has been available for awhile: An Exegetical Summary of Philippians by J. Harold Greenlee. I can't speak as to the balance of them.
