Verbal Aspect, with Constantine Campbell

from Exegetically Speaking · host Wheaton College

Greek verbs have been traditionally labeled "tenses," but many grammarians have for some time argued that "tense" is not the best way to explain what is going on. The linguistic category of "aspect" is a more powerful theoretical explanation. But what is "verbal aspect" and how does this theory affect the reading of Greek texts? Dr. Constantine Campbell is Professor and Research Director at the Sydney College of Divinity (Norwest, Australia). He has published widely on Koiné Greek grammar and the New Testament writings. Examples include, Basics of Verbal Aspect in Biblical Greek and The Letter to the Ephesians. The Pillar New Testament Commentary. He is also a jazz saxophonist and a visiting instructor at The Australian National University School of Music.  Check out related programs at Wheaton College: B.A. in Classical Languages (Greek, Latin, Hebrew): https://bit.ly/4elFSSP M.A. in Biblical Exegesis: https://bit.ly/3zDIfl0
