This article aims to make a few suggestions in employing the concept of Greek verbal aspect for interpretation of NT. Modern scholarship of Biblical Greek has a position that a choice of a specific tense form of Greek verbs is realized by an author's perspective on an event, and so a reader can find the author's intention by analysing Greek verbal aspects in the text. If we agree that Greek verbal aspects have their own meanings, a choice of aspects depends on author's subjective decision and a choice of a specific aspect may indicate abandonment of other aspects by the author, we cannot totally deny an opinion that Greek verbal aspects can be used as a tool for interpretation. Nevertheless, we should concern with a few limitations of this opinion. Firstly, scholars often claims different conclusions in kinds, numbers and functions of Greek verbal aspects though they agree in some points. Secondly, while we cannot assert that a choice of verbal aspect often reflect the author's intention because Greek verbal aspects are considered to be chosen by author either consciously or unconsciously, we should remind that there are a numbers of literary devices that directly transfer author's intention. At the point that these literary devices are always consciously chosen by author, they must have a priority to Greek verbal aspects in interpretation of a text (if they appear or are recognized). In addition, but as a fundamental problem, we may point out that the study of Greek verbal aspect has not been completed yet. Many studies are based on limited data, especially too much on writings of NT. This also means that theories of Greek verbal aspects are not solid to be used as a tool for interpretation. Thus, the use of Greek verbal aspects as a tool for interpretation should be based neither on a theory of a scholar, nor on a total of all scholars. Instead, before a more comprehensive study appears, we should put a different weight on what all scholars perfectly agree (more) and on what they show different opinions (less). And, we should pay attention to literary devices rather than to Greek verbal aspects in interpreting a text. In terms of these problems, this article provides some points that all scholars agree in studies of Greek verbal aspects and suggests how Greek verbal aspect should be understood in relation with a literary device in a text.
Abstract
This article aims to make a few suggestions in employing the concept of Greek verbal aspect for interpretation of NT. Modern scholarship of Biblical Greek has a position that a choice of a specific tense form of Greek verbs is realized by an author's perspective on an event, and so a reader can find the author's intention by analysing Greek verbal aspects in the text. If we agree that Greek verbal aspects have their own meanings, a choice of aspects depends on author's subjective decision and a choice of a specific aspect may indicate abandonment of other aspects by the author, we cannot totally deny an opinion that Greek verbal aspects can be used as a tool for interpretation. Nevertheless, we should concern with a few limitations of this opinion. Firstly, scholars often claims different conclusions in kinds, numbers and functions of Greek verbal aspects though they agree in some points. Secondly, while we cannot assert that a choice of verbal aspect often reflect the author's intention because Greek verbal aspects are considered to be chosen by author either consciously or unconsciously, we should remind that there are a numbers of literary devices that directly transfer author's intention. At the point that these literary devices are always consciously chosen by author, they must have a priority to Greek verbal aspects in interpretation of a text (if they appear or are recognized). In addition, but as a fundamental problem, we may point out that the study of Greek verbal aspect has not been completed yet. Many studies are based on limited data, especially too much on writings of NT. This also means that theories of Greek verbal aspects are not solid to be used as a tool for interpretation. Thus, the use of Greek verbal aspects as a tool for interpretation should be based neither on a theory of a scholar, nor on a total of all scholars. Instead, before a more comprehensive study appears, we should put a different weight on what all scholars perfectly agree (more) and on what they show different opinions (less). And, we should pay attention to literary devices rather than to Greek verbal aspects in interpreting a text. In terms of these problems, this article provides some points that all scholars agree in studies of Greek verbal aspects and suggests how Greek verbal aspect should be understood in relation with a literary device in a text.
