Fenomenal!
Fundamental para qualquer crítico do grego do Novo Testamento. De fato, Stanley Porter é um expertise em Grego. A obra é altamente técnica e complexa, mas com o auxilio de Rodney Decker e outros não fica nada obscuro. Vale ressaltar que a obra não é somente sobre verbos, mas abrange vários assuntos de grego avançado do N.T.

De todos os livros que li de linguistica aplicada ao grego do N.T, esse é o melhor de todos.

Um dia postarei em algum lugar minhas analises capítulo por capítulo.

I disagree with Porter's conclusions on the atemporality of tense in Koine Greek (cf. Buist Fanning, Verbal Aspect in New Testament Greek for a rebuttal). That is just not the way language functions. But the breadth and depth of his research is outstanding. His work made my own thesis on irregular temporal references in NT Greek MUCH easier to research and write.

A very difficult-to-read, highly technical dissertation that is, nevertheless, a must read for any student of Greek, especially New Testament Greek, verbal aspect.

[Gary · Rating 4 out of 5]

Porter's work is foundational to any conversation of Verbal Aspect in Koine Greek.
