And I turned to my wife and said, “This is us!”

If it wasn’t for the fact that she’s currently in the middle of her degree and right about to begin her thesis, I’d probably jump at this one: Ancient Greek Literature, Pragmatics: Two PhD Student Positions, Ruprecht-Karls-Universität Heidelberg, Germany Specialty Areas: Ling & Literature; Pragmatics; Ancient Greek Literature Required Language(s): Greek, Ancient (grc) Indo-European Description: [...]

Perfect Imperative/Indicative?

So I come to the LXX of Joshua 10:19 and see: ὑμεῖς δὲ μὴ ἑστήκατε καταδιώκοντες ὀπίσω τῶν ἐχθρῶν ὑμῶν. I initially understood ἑστήκατε as a perfect indicative, which is exactly what it looks like. But then I saw that the NETS translates the word as an imperative, which actually makes significantly more sense in [...]

Publishing Articles: Question

Does anyone have any advice on publishing journal articles for graduate students? That is to say, are there any journals who might be willing to accept articles that are Written by a grad student?

I’m just making the comparison because most people familiar with Biblical Studies are more likely to recognize Brill’s name than John Benjamin’s. In any case, the two publishers are similar in that they’re both situated in the [...]

Poll: How Well Do You Understand Aspect

For some time I’ve been rather surprised by how many people struggle to understand exactly what Aspect is. Granted it took me looking at Aspect in three different languages before it really clicked, but it seems so obvious now, after the fact. Part of me wonders if they emphasis on Aspect with relation to discourse [...]

Holman Christian Standard Bible

It’d be such an incredibly translation if it would be willing to use “brothers and sisters” every once in a while! So many things I like otherwise… Translate ἀδελφοι as “brothers and sisters” when the context would necessitate it. Why?
