This book offers a consistent explanation of the peculiarity of the
language of the Apocalypse (or Book of Revelation), namely that the
rules of Greek grammar are broken because of the influence of
Hebrew and Aramaic. It advances previous similar hypotheses in
three ways. First, it focuses chiefly on the verbal system.
Secondly, by methodically citing the ancient Greek translations of
the Old Testament to demonstrate Hebrew/Aramaic influence, it
serves as a limited survey of the syntax of the Septuagint.
Thirdly, it argues that the Apocalypse's grammar was influenced not
by later Hebrew/Aramaic dialects in use during the first century AD
but by Old Testament Hebrew/Aramaic. This thesis suggests a new
approach to the Apocalypse that gives greater attention to the
influence of Old Testament Hebrew/Aramaic grammar and a fuller
awareness of the writer's indebtedness to the Old Testament.
