Syntax of the Moods & Tenses in New Testament Greek

by Ernest DeWitt Burton

Originally published in 1898 as the third edition of Burton's seminal work on Greek grammar, it remains today as a must-have handbook for the serious Greek student. In it, Burton delves into each mood and tense and cogently elucidates details of the Greek verbs while providing helpful scripture references as examples. Burton describes this handbook:

"Its main purpose is to contribute to the interpretation of the New Testament by the exposition of the functions of the verb in New Testament Greek, so far as those function are expressed by the distinctions of mood and tense."

In this digital edition, the table of contents has been reformatted specifically for reading devices. In addition, links have been made for intra-book references allowing for quick and in-depth researching (including all appendix matter).

[Andy Smith · Rating 3 out of 5]

Good in its brevity and a helpful reference work, but truly, how interesting can a Greek Grammar be?

[Lee W. · Rating 5 out of 5]

A very helpful introduction to the moods and tenses of New Testament Greek, particularly in their usage in clauses. Should be in the library of every serious Greek student.
