This collection, Biblical Greek Language and Linguistics: Open Questions in Current Research, brings together into one volume papers first delivered at the Society of Biblical Literature annual meetings in 1990 and 1991. These papers were all presented under the auspices of the then Consultation on Biblical Greek Language and Linguistics. This consultation was convened for the 1990 meeting, and, after two successful years, for the 1992 meeting has had its status elevated to that of a Section. It will continue in that capacity for at least the next five years.
When the original co-chairpersons of the Consultation, D.A. Carson and Stanley E. Porter, along with the two other original members of the steering committee, Daryl D. Schmidt and Moisés Silva, first discussed the possibility of instituting such a consultation, they did so because of a perceptible need within the discipline of New Testament studies and an apparent lack of opportunity at the Society of Biblical Literature’s annual meetings.

About Biblical Greek Language and Linguistics: Open Questions in Current ResearchDo verbal tenses, such as aorist and imperfect, actually communicate a temporal reference—time—or do they communicate something else entirely—aspect? Or can the tenses sometimes communicate both time and aspect? The verbal aspect debate is one of the hottest topics in Biblical Greek linguistics. Edited by Stanley E. Porter and D.A. Carson, Biblical Greek Language and Linguistics brings together into one volume essays from scholars in the field of Greek and linguistics to examine the Greek language from a linguistic and grammatical perspective. The first half of the book is devoted to verbal aspect, and includes essays by Stanley E. Porter and Buist Fanning, two central figures in the debate over verbal aspect. The second part of the book contains a potpourri of articles on other applications of modern linguistics to the Greek Bible, and includes essays by Jeffrey T. Reed, Paul Danove, Michael W. Palmer, and Mark S. Krause. |
