Basics of Verbal Aspect – Con Campbell

All exams are finished! Giddy up. This is really a post reminding me to do some holiday reading. Currently, I like Con Campbell because of his jazz. I’m psyching myself up to love him for his contribution to Biblical Greek grammar!

Con has a new book out – he guest blogged about it on the Zondervan Academic blog. It’s on Verbal Aspect. I’m hoping that reading the 5 posts below will be a good primer.

  1. Verbal aspect: what is it, and why does it matter?
  2. Verbal Aspect: what it is and what it isn’t
  3. Verbal aspect and the aorist indicative
  4. Verbal aspect and the present indicative
  5. Verbal aspect and exegesis

p.s. – I passed greek this year!!

    Just remember that Verbal Aspect is all about the parade. If that doesn’t make sense, take heart. Most of us are still trying to understand it a year later…

    yeah – i gather no-one really understood it!!

    i think i get the parade bit from the little we did on it this year. hopefully con’s book will make it a bit clearer.
