Richard Denton and Tod Allman complete the semantic analysis of Philippians.

January 18th, 2011.

Prior to working in Philippians, our semantic analysis had dealt with only the narrative portions of the Bible, and we weren't certain whether or not semantic representations could be developed for the expository portions, particularly the Pauline epistles. But our work in Philippians demonstrates that TBTA can be used to help translate the expository portions of the Bible into many different languages.
