Simplifying the linguistic differences between the quality of an action and its sequence in time, Campbell investigates and clarifies the function of verbal aspect within the New Testament Greek narrative. This book includes exercises, answer key, glossary, appendix covering space and time, and an index to Scripture cited.

“An accessible introduction to the question of aspect and time, comfortably hitting a center position that sees aspect as primary, but time as still important, and yet not oversimplifying the debate. This is an excellent place to start investigating this important issue.”
—William D. Mounce, Author, of Basics of Biblical Greek

“Students of New Testament Greek have for years been wrestling with middle-level and advanced volumes unpacking verbal aspect. Something of a revolution has taken place during the last two decades. What has been lacking, however, has been an accessible introduction to the subject. Here it is! With limpid prose, logical development, and helpful examples, Con Campbell has put countless teachers and students in his debt.”
—D. A. Carson, Research Professor of New Testament, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School
