This book discusses what verbal aspect is, how it functions in New Testament Greek, and the ways in which it has been treated in the past century. Fanning provides a comprehensive, up-to-date analysis of the aspects of present, past, and perfect, and cites extensive sections of New Testament Greek as illustrative evidence. In the process, he proposes a new critical approach that will prove invaluable to interpreters of New Testament texts.
BUIST M. FANNING (DPhil, Oxford University) is department chair and professor of New Testament studies at Dallas Theological Seminary. He has taught New Testament for more than thirty years and is the author of The Warning Passages of Hebrews: Four Perspectives.
