McKay Kenneth L. A New Syntax of the Verb in New Testament Greek: An Aspectual Approach

Publisher: Peter Lang
Publication date: 1994
ISBN: 0820421235
Number of pages: 222In recent decades it has been increasingly recognized thai the forms of the verb in ancient Greek, including that of the New Testament, do not signal time (past, present, future), but aspect (the way each activity is viewed in relation to its context). Applying the new insights, this book offers a concise and clearly stated account of the way the verb works in the syntax of New Testament Greek. Its approach is pragmatic, with emphasis on context rather than theory. It can be read as a coherent account, and its four indexes also make it a handy reference book.
