Questions About Translating the Verb Aorist in the Greek Bible

Post by juliaroberts »

Hello everyone,
I am studying the Greek Bible and have a question about how to translate the aorist verb. When should it be translated as past tense, and when should it be translated as general? Do you have any documents or methods to suggest? I look forward to hearing from you!
