Verbal aspect in the Greek language has been a topic of significant
debate in recent scholarship. The majority of scholars now believe
that an understanding of verbal aspect is even more important than
verb tense (past, present, etc.). Yet there still are no
alternative accessible textbooks, both in terms of level and price.
In the second edition, Constantine R. Campbell investigates the
function of verbal aspect within the New Testament Greek narrative
in light of the last fifteen years of the latest scholarship. In
Basics of Verbal Aspect in Biblical Greek, Second Edition, Campbell
has done a marvelous job in this book of simplifying the concept
without getting caught up using terms of linguistics that only
experts can understand. The book includes expanded and updated
discussion, revised exercises, an answer key, a glossary of key
concepts, an appendix covering space and time, and an index of
Scriptures cited. Professors and students, at both the
undergraduate and graduate levels, will use this is as a
supplemental text in both beginning and advanced Greek courses.
Pastors that study the Greek text will also appreciate this
resource as a supplement to their preaching and teaching.
Verbal aspect in Ancient Greek has been a topic of significant
debate in recent scholarship. In this book, Constantine R. Campbell
investigates the function of verbal aspect within New Testament
Greek narrative. He argues that the primary role of verbal aspect
in narrative is to delineate and shape the various 'discourse
strands' of which it is constructed, such as mainline, offline, and
direct discourse. Campbell accounts for this function in terms of
the semantic value of each tense-form. Consequently, in the search
for more effective conclusions and explanations, he challenges and
reassesses some of the conclusions reached in previous scholarship.
One such reassessment involves a boldly innovative approach to the
perfect tense-form.
Nowhere are the chaotic debates surrounding contemporary aspect
theory more heated than in discussions of the theory's application
to Hellenistic Greek, and especially its understanding of the
semantics of the Greek perfect tense. This book is a distilled
academic debate among three of the best-known scholars on the
subject, each defending his own unique interpretation while
engaging the other two. The Perfect Storm will prove an
indispensable resource for any scholar seeking to write
convincingly on the Greek perfect in the future.
American evangelicalism is at a crisis point. The naked grasping at
political power at the expense of moral credibility has revealed a
movement in disarray. Evangelicals are now faced with a quandary:
will they double-down and continue along this perilous path, or
will they stop, reflect, and change course? And while support of
Donald Trump has produced the tipping point of the evangelical
crisis, it is not by any means its only problem. Evangelicals claim
the Bible as the supreme authority in matters of faith. But in
reality, it is particular readings of the Bible that govern
evangelical faith. Some evangelical readings of the Bible can be
highly selective. They distort the Bible's teaching in crucial ways
and often lead evangelicals to misguided attempts to relate to the
world around them. Many Christians who once self-professed as
"evangelicals" can no longer use the term of themselves because of
what it has come to represent--power-mongering, divisiveness,
judgementalism, hypocrisy, pride, greed. Some leave not just
evangelicalism but Christianity for good. Jesus v. Evangelicals is
an insider's critique of the evangelical movement according to its
own rules. Since evangelicals regard themselves governed by the
Bible, biblical scholar Constantine Campbell engages the Bible to
critique evangelicals and to call out the problems within the
contemporary evangelical movement. By revealing evangelical
distortions of the Bible, this book seeks to restore the dignity of
the Christian faith and to renew public interest in Jesus, while
calling evangelicals back to his teaching. Constantine Campbell
appeals to evangelicals to break free from the grid that has
distorted their understanding of the Bible and to restore public
respect for Christianity in spite of its misrepresentations by the
evangelical church.
A Unique Study of Pauline Eschatology that Is Both Exegetical and
Theological One of the trajectories coming out of Constantine
Campbell's award-winning book Paul and Union with Christ is the
significance of eschatology for the apostle. Along with union with
Christ, eschatology is a feature of Paul's thinking that affects
virtually everything else. While union with Christ is the "webbing"
that joins Paul's thought together, eschatology provides the
"shape" of his thought, and thus gives shape to his teaching about
justification, resurrection, the cross, ethics, and so forth. There
is considerable debate, however, about Paul's eschatology, asking
whether he is a "covenant" or an "apocalyptic" theologian. In Paul
and the Hope of Glory Campbell conducts a thorough exegetical study
of the relevant elements of Paul's eschatological language,
metaphors, and images including "parousia," "the last day,"
"inheritance," "hope," and others. He examines each passage in
context, aiming to build inductively an overall sense of Paul's
thinking. The results of this exegetical study then feed into a
theological study that demonstrates the integration of Paul's
eschatological thought into his overall theological framework. The
study is comprised of three parts: The first part introduces the
key issues--both exegetical and theological--and sets the
parameters and methodology of the book. It also offers an
historical survey of the scholarly work produced on Paul's
eschatology through the twentieth century to the present day. The
second part contains the detailed exegetical analysis, with
chapters on each important Pauline phrase, metaphor, and image
related to eschatology. The third part turns its attention to
theological synthesis. It recapitulates relevant conclusions from
the evidence adduced in part two and launches into theological
discussion engaging current issues and debates. This volume
combines high-level scholarship and a concern for practical
application of a topic currently debated in the academy and the
church. More than a monograph, this book is a helpful reference
tool for students, scholars, and pastors to consult its treatment
of any particular instance of any phrase or metaphor that relates
to eschatology in Paul's thinking.

Verbal aspect in the Greek language has been a topic of significant
debate in recent scholarship. The majority of scholars now believe
that an understanding of verbal aspect is even more important than

Constantine Campbell investigates the function of verbal aspect

provides an accessible introduction for students, pastors,
professors, and commentators to understand the current issues of
interest in this period of paradigm shift.
This survey textbook by two respected New Testament scholars is
designed to meet the needs of contemporary evangelical
undergraduates. The book effectively covers the New Testament books
and major topics in the New Testament, assuming no prior academic
study of the Bible. The authors pay attention to how the New
Testament documents fit together as a canonical whole that
supplements the Old Testament to make up the Christian Scriptures.
They also show how the New Testament writings provide basic
material for Christian doctrine, spirituality, and engagement with
culture. Chapters can be assigned in any order, making this an
ideal textbook for one-semester courses at evangelical schools.
This is the first volume in a new series of survey textbooks that
will cover the Old and New Testaments. The book features full-color
illustrations that hold interest and aid learning and offers a full
array of pedagogical aids: photographs, sidebars, maps, time lines,
charts, glossary, and discussion questions. Additional resources
for instructors and students are available through Textbook
eSources.
Ten techniques for keeping your knowledge of Greek fresh long after
college. Seminarians spend countless hours mastering biblical
languages and learning how the knowledge of them illuminates the
reading, understanding, and application of Scripture. But while
excellent language acquisition resources abound, few really teach
students how to maintain their use of Greek for the long term.
Consequently, many pastors and other former Greek students find
that under the pressures of work, ministry, preaching, and life,
their hard-earned Greek skills begin to disappear. Constantine
Campbell has been counseling one-time Greek students for years,
teaching them how to keep their language facility for the benefit
of their ministry. In Keep Your Greek, he shows how following the
right principles makes it possible for many to retain--and in some
cases regain--their Greek language skills. In Keep Your Greek, you
will acquire strategies such as, How to wisely use Bible software
tools so that you don't become dependent on them. How different
methods of reading practices can assist your memory and keep you
from becoming discouraged. How to make time to keep up on your
language skills for the sake of your busy ministry. Pastors will
find Keep Your Greek an encouraging and practical guide to
strengthening their Greek abilities. Current students will learn
how to build skills that will serve them well once they complete
their formal language instruction. Loosing a skill or knowledge set
is always discouraging, but with a little guidance, you can dust
off your Greek and continue making linguistic insights a regular
part of your study and teaching.
Colossians and Philemon delivers to students and teachers an
exhaustive and thoughtful translation of the Greek in these two
Pauline texts. Constantine R. Campbell reveals the lexical,
syntactic, and grammatical features of these New Testament epistles
in order to provide readers with an intermediate knowledge of
biblical Greek a guide through Paul's words. The result is a
comprehensive study of Pauline Greek that can be used alongside
commentaries to understand better the world of the Apostle.
