The Criterion of Greek Language and its Context: A Further Response

McMaster Divinity College, Hamilton, ON, Canada

This essay responds to Michael Bird's critique of my criterion of Greek language and its context, put forward especially in my The Criteria for Authenticity in Historical-Jesus Research: Previous Discussion and New Proposals(JSNTSup, 191; Sheffield: Sheffield Academic Press, 2000), pp. 126-80. I clarify the nature of the criterion by noting that Bird several times seems not to clearly understand that it tries to establish probability criteria for proposing that Jesus may have spoken Greek on particular occasions.

Key Words: criteria of authenticity • criterion of Greek language and context • New Testament Greek
