I didn't go as hog-wild on books this year as I had in the past, but I did come home with a few new ones:
- G.K. Beale & D.A. Carson, eds., Commentary on the New Testament Use of the Old Testament (amazon.com). This is one that I have been watching for some time, and I'm thrilled to actually have it in print.
- Westcott-Hort Greek New Testament with Dictionary (amazon.com). This is a reprinting (and re-setting) of WH's Greek NT. Hendrickson have added pericope heads, a running apparatus with diffs between NA27, WHMarg, and Robinson-Pierpont. The dictionary is a revised and enlarged version of Souter's Pocket Dictionary. I hope to blog about this one later, comparing my 1904 pocket WH with this edition for First Timothy.
- The UBS Greek New Testament: A Reader's Edition (amazon.com). The Amazon page here doesn't make any sense to me, the book is released (at least you could get it in a number of places at the SBL book expo). I hope to do some blogging on this one, comparing it to Zondervan's Reader's Greek New Testament (amazon.com) for the text of First Timothy. One thing the UBS edition has, though, is parsing help. Very cool.
- James Aageson, Paul, the Pastorals, and the Early Church. This as well is published by Hendrickson, though I find no listing for it on Amazon.
- Benjamin Fiore, S.J., Pastoral Epistles: First Timothy, Second Timothy and Titus (amazon.com), in the Sacra Pagina series. I purchased this more for completeness' sake; I don't have many Catholic approaches to the PE in my commentary stash, so I figured I'd get one.
- William Varner, The Way of the Didache: The First Christian Handbook (amazon.com). I've done some study on the Didache on my own; Varner's work will be nice to read.
That's it; you'll surely hear more about them in the coming weeks.
