Basics of Verbal Aspect in Biblical Greek: Second Edition

Verbal aspect in the Greek language has been a topic of significant debate in recent scholarship. The majority of scholars now believe that an understanding of verbal aspect is even more important than verb tense (past present etc.). Yet there still are no alternative accessible textbooks both in terms of level and price. In the second edition Constantine R. Campbell investigates the function of verbal aspect within the New Testament Greek narrative in light of the last fifteen years of the latest scholarship. In Basics of Verbal Aspect in Biblical Greek Second Edition Campbell has done a marvelous job in this book of simplifying the concept without getting caught up using terms of linguistics that only experts can understand. The book includes expanded and updated discussion revised exercises an answer key a glossary of key concepts an appendix covering space and time and an index of Scriptures cited. Professors and students at both the undergraduate and graduate levels will use this is as a supplemental text in both beginning and advanced Greek courses. Pastors that study the Greek text will also appreciate this resource as a supplement to their preaching and teaching.
