Free book coming

Keep an eye out here. Some time in the next few days I’ll be posting info on how the first 15 respondents can get a free copy of my Koine Greek Reader from the publisher. I’m waiting on the details of their offer (a similar offer for which will also be on the b-greek list, but there restricted to those teaching Greek). If you don’t make the “first 15,” you can always order it from Amazon.

And for a bit of trivia, I was just reading James Dunn’s Unity and Diversity in the NT (Westminster, 1977) and noted this interesting comment at the close of the Preface. As Dunn expresses his thanks to those who helped in some way with the book, he writes, “Last but not least my thanks are due to my youngest daughter, Fiona, for not cutting up more than six pages of the typescript last Christmas–’for snowflakes, Daddy’!” (p. xiii). And that was before the days of the computer when those six pages could be reprinted with a quick click! :)

I’m glad not to have faced those challenges! (I do have some scribbles in my Hebrew Bible that originated at my daughter’s hand when she was 2 or 3 years old.) Today all one worries about are hard drive crashes and lost files… I’m not sure which writer’s nightmare is worse! :)
