I was pleased to see an article I originally submitted in February of 2015 finally appear in the Journal of Biblical Literature, 135 no. 4 (Winter 2016): “What is Opened in Luke 24:45, the Mind or the Scriptures?” My abstract is as follows: Continue Reading
Thanks to Accordance for allowing me to review what I have found to be the most powerful electronic version of the NA28 available at the present time. In the video below, I demo and review some of my favorite features. Accordance users may also pick up a tip or two on using the software in… Continue Reading
A few years ago I discussed some work by Steve Runge that challenges the foundation of Stanley Porter’s argument that the Greek verb does not grammaticalize time but only aspect–the heart of debates in Greek linguistic studies within the field of NT studies over the past 2 1/2 decades (emphasis on within the field of… Continue Reading
Thank you, Rod, for sharing so many of your resources for teaching. The latest is his Morphology Catalog of Koine Verbs in pdf: It is designed so that it can be printed double-sided, trimmed, and inserted inside the cover of Danker’s Concise Lexicon. The primary purpose of this catalog is to provide a morphological supplement to CL which does not contain… Continue Reading

Accordance 9 is out, and hopefully I’ll have on opportunity to soon upgrade from 8 and post a brief review. Not long before the release of the newest version of Accordance, Rod Decker was anticipating the release and discussed some of updates to follow this release: The iPhone and iPad app will follow.

Steve Runge has an interesting post in which he challenges the foundation of Porter’s theory of Greek verbal aspect. Here’s an excerpt: To be sure, aspect is far more prominent in Greek than it is in English, whereas the opposite is true of tense in English.
