The Sheffield Reader series collects the best articles on a specific topic from the Journal for the Study of the New Testament. The range of each volume reflects the breadth of the journal itself. Hence the reader will find groundbreaking studies that introduce new critical questions and move into fresh areas of enquiry, surveys of the state of play in a particular topic, and articles that engage with each other in specific debates. For undergraduates these books offer an invaluable critical introduction to a particular subject. More advanced students and scholars can use the volumes to find background material for their own area of interest, or to gain an overview of the research in an area outside their speciality.

Constantine R. Campbell continues the work begun in his previous volume, Verbal Aspect, the Indicative Mood, and Narrative: Soundings in the Greek of the New Testament. In this book, he investigates the function of verbal aspect in non-indicative Greek verbs, which are of great significance for the translation and exegesis of Biblical texts. Campbell demonstrates that the model developed in his first volume provides strong power of explanation for the workings of non-indicative verbs, and challenges some of the conclusions reached by previous scholarship.

For the past 25 years, debate regarding the nature of tense and aspect in the Koine Greek verb has held New Testament studies at an impasse. The Greek Verb Revisited examines recent developments from the field of linguistics, which may dramatically shift the direction of this discussion. Readers will find an accessible introduction to the foundational issues, and more importantly, they will discover a way forward through the debate. Originally presented during a conference on the Greek verb supported by and held at Tyndale House and sponsored by the Faculty of Divinity of Cambridge University, the papers included in this collection represent the culmination of scholarly collaboration. The outcome is a practical and accessible overview of the Greek verb that moves beyond the current impasse by taking into account the latest scholarship from the fields of linguistics, Classics, and New Testament studies.

Central in this volume of the 6th International Colloquium on Ancient Greek Linguistics is the question how cohesion is created in Ancient Greek texts. The contributions to the volume either discuss the various cohesive devices that occur in a specific text or focus on the use and function of a particular cohesion device in a larger corpus. Apart from the use of pronomina and particles, less standard cohesive devices, like the use of tense and the grammatical form of complements, are taken into consideration. The result is a volume that gives a good impression of recent research in the field of Greek linguistics, not only of interest for classical scholars, but also for general linguists interested in discourse coherence cnd cohesion. Contributors include: Rutger J. Allan, St phanie J. Bakker, Louis Basset, Anna Bonifazi, Annemieke Drummen, Marietje (A.M.) van Erp Taalman Kip, Coulter H. George, Luuk Huitink, Sander Orriens, Annemieke van der Plaat, Antonio Revuelta, Albert Rijksbaron and Gerry C. Wakker.

This volume contains twenty articles devoted to Ancient Greek syntax and semantics. A wide range of subjects is covered: tense and aspect, voice, the cases (notably the accusative), the moods, conditionals and purpose clauses, verbal complementation, and prepositional phrases. The approach is mostly - but not exclusively - synchronic, concentrating on the Mycenaean, Homeric, Classical, and Hellenistic periods of the Greek language.
