AB  - The aim of this study is to analyze the grammar
and ideology of some verses in the English version of The
New Testament from a critical discourse analysis point of
view. Passivization and modality including truth,
obligation, permission and desirabilityare used to uncover
ideology of The New Testament through selecting some
verses and analyzing them. The English version New
International Version of The New Testament with Psalms
and Proverbs is adopted as the data of this research, for it
can well cover the topic under study. The study depends
on Fowler’s model of modality to show its uses in The
New Testament and it also depends on Hart’s views to
deal with the grammar and ideology of The New
Testament. The researchers conclude that the English
New Testament is a good source of ideology that has its
influence on people’s behavior and that it is important to
study and understand the grammar and ideology of the
English New Testament.
