Theological German Grammar update

June 6th, 2008 by Danny Zacharias

A few interesting tidbits of information has come from my post on theological German grammar. There are at least 2 new theological German grammars in the works by two different authors who will be looking for a publisher in the next little while. This makes me very happy. The two people are Peter Enns (according to his CV, thanks Shawn for pointing this out in the comments). The other one is Eric R. Stancliff. Eric has a B.A. in German, an M.A. in NT Studies, and an M.S.L.I.S. (library degree). He has taught German at various times since 1980, and N.T. Greek since 1985. The book’s working title is German for Theological Reading.

I’m very happy to hear this. This make this project lower priority now, but I’m not dismissing it all together, as I did put a bit of work into it. Patrick in the comments suggested a wiki type of platform for easy collaboration. I’ve decided instead to use Google Docs.

So, I’ve now published the document here. You can also get to it right from our menu on Deinde.

If you’d like to contribute by editing the document via Google Docs, just email me.

Hopefully some will find it useful until something superior comes out.
