Linguistics and New Testament Greek: Key Issues in the Current Debate by David Alan Black

A collection of essays/papers related to the present condition of the study of linguistics in terms of Koine Greek and New Testament studies.

This is definitely a work for those who have decent to advanced understanding of Koine Greek and at least some familiarity with the greater world of linguistics.

Much is made in these essays regarding a lot of the differences in opinion regarding understanding of grammatical forms, especially how verbal aspect works, along with how much of recent show more linguistic theory and research is being brought to bear on New Testament studies and how.

For those with some understanding of ancient Greek and linguistics and who have interest in these matters, this is a helpful survey of the field and its conditions. show less
