of Moses the man of God
I think this is different, it's basically "Moses the man", not "Moses of God".
It's a false hit from the search. I thought I had removed all of those, but apparently I missed one.

Re: Double articles

There are some good ones in the Greek Deuterocanon, too: Note the first one is a great example of Greek recursion patterns.

Re: Kang - Three Nuances of the Perfect Indicative in the Greek NT

"In Classical Greek, the perfect went through a transition from resultative to anterior (current relevance) with increasing transitivity." This is a flawed premise to build a book on. Classicists assume this position as a given and then NT people assume that they're right without actually...

Re: ἔγειρε semantics and orthography--how would you parse this?

It doesn't help that there are numerous labile alternations that exist with Greek verbs, too. Examples: βλαστάνω ‘cause to grow’ vs. βλαστάνω ‘bud, sprout’ (anticausative). ἀνατέλλω ‘cause [x] to rise’ vs. ἀνατέλλω ‘[x] rises’ ἀπορίπτω ‘drive [x] away’ vs. ἀπορίπτω ‘[x] jumps off’ ἐνισχύω ‘strengthe...

This is a sentiment that I can get behind. There are a number of impressive things going on in terms of narrative style that don't fit the traditional categories of "classical style".

Re: Koine Greek Grammar

That's the dream, isn't it.

It'd be nice if it existed. Older grammars do make consistent citation of a wide collection of texts beyond the New Testament, but they tend to have other issues and/or limits.

Re: Present with Perfect Force?

Another voice against these kinds of labels. There are verbs whose inherent lexical semantics are "perfect-like". This isn't a category of tense/aspect, just an the idiosyncratic realization of meaning in individual lexical items. You are apparently talking about "Present for Perfect...
