How to check the bash script syntax?

How to check the bash script syntax without executing it? I mean using Perl, I can run perl -c 'script name', is there any equivalent command for bash scripts?
Thanks.

Why don't you want to execute it? You could run it in a chroot to stop it messing up live data during the test run.
