Re: Android support for polytonic Greek
I finally got viewing to work on my Samsung s2. Is there a way to type in Greek on the phone? I've got the Note 2, and I haven't gotten it to work. I've got Ubuntu fonts installed, but that didn't work this time. What fix did you find for S2? What version of Android are you using? I'm using JellyBe...

Re: Gender of EKEINOS in Joh 16,13
Ok, I understand, Dr. Conrad. What do you think of this explantion: “Sometimes the demonstrative pronoun will agree with the natural gender rather than the grammatical gender. For example, the masculine pronoun EKEINOS is used in John 14,26 and 16,13-14 to refer to the neuter noun PNEUMA to emphasi...

Re: Greetings
I'm a retired (as in 'no longer paid') Anglican priest, now preaching infrequently but keeping up my theological-college-level NT Greek with a reading group that meets each week in Exeter. David. How exciting! I tried to get a reading group together a long time ago in Missouri, but I got no takers....

Re: Adjectival Use of Prepositional Phrases
I didn't read it the way Jason read it. "ἐν σαρκὶ" can modify "χρόνον" adjectivally, and the noun phrase would be "τὸν ἐπίλοιπον ἐν σαρκὶ χρόνον" / "the remaining time in flesh" (multiple adjectives may occur in the syntax "T A* N"; see 1 Pet 2:2). ...

Re: Notes on 1:1
κατά] Although κατά can be used to indicate the topic without value judgment “concerning,” as can the Hebrew על, it more often carries stronger hostility than the Hebrew על. ... I'm chewing on this. Silva translates κατά as "against": If κατά can mean simply "concerning", withou...

Re: Greek Isaiah in a Year
Thanks. I signed up. I haven't spent too much time reading the LXX, so this should be great.

Re: To or about?
The only other instance I could find where most English versions translate ἐν with "about" is ὅτι ἀποροῦμαι ἐν ὑμῖν. Would this not rather by "I am puzzled by you" or "I am puzzled because of you" rather than "I am puzzled about you"? Well, I suppose number k...

Re: 'the forms you really need to know'
I believe the title of the article is the one I had in quotes on the subject line, but since I have only seen it referenced, and have not seen the article or the journal, I cannot say for sure. I didn't notice that it was an article title in the subject line, since you didn't even capitalize it. Ma...

Re: Luke 3:21-22 infinitives
... the time period is critical. After 200 CE ... Yet, in the case of Luke, we are speaking of 60-70 CE; I wonder if this could be relevant in any way. First, we do not have copies of Luke from 60-70 CE. Second, the claim that it was written so early is simply unfounded. It would be best not to use...
