Part two then presents focused studies on phenomena commonly studied in the field of sociolinguistics which are relevant to a developed understanding of New Testament; a particular feature of this section is that each chapter specifically connects a central sociolinguistic concept with data drawn from the Greek text of the New Testament. Part three of the volume provides summative and evaluative essay that assesses the critical issues, insights and problems raised by the application of sociolinguistics to the New Testament.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJonathan M.
