Re: Tributes to Carl Conrad
That's very sad news, Jonathan. Thank you for letting us know. I first engaged with you, Carl, and many others through this forum about 30 years ago now.

Re: 1 Corinthians 12:4-5 δὲ vs καὶ
My take, which follows nicely with Steve Runge's report on Levinsohn now preferring the term "point" is that current software applications help us to understand this. Think of PowerPoint slides: και is used sort of like two slides, one is with "Some Title" and the other is "...

Thank you for this Margaret Sim quote, Stirling!Stirling Bartholomew wrote: ↑January 18th, 2018, 7:22 pm After looking through Rod Decker's classifications and sub-classifications[1] for participles, Margaret Sim's comments cited in Straub seem to apply somewhat to Decker's analysis. Margaret Sim put the ax to the root of the tree.

Re: πέμψαντός in J. 6.38?
A lot to soak in here. I have BDF in book form (wish I had the software), but, a bit intense for a (just beginning) Greek II student. Again, I find I have to read each portion slowly & several times to grasp it (& then reread it many times for the concept to sink in fully). Just to clarify ...

Re: Punctuation of 1 Corinthians 8:6
From a translation point of view, he may be raising a question as to whether to interpret "Θεὸς ὁ Πατήρ" or additionally "κύριος Ἰησοῦς Χριστός" as effectively "titular" references vs. adjectival or attributive constructions. It's an interesting and hard question. Is Je...

Re: Errors In Revelation?
For those of you not familiar with the work going on for the new Perseus reading environment, I'm now expanding this morphological work from the 138k words of the GNT to the 21m words in the Greek corpus of the Perseus digital library. Once you have to deal with dialects and changes over time, it s...
