Summary of Greek Moods

Moods indicate the relation of the action of the verb to reality.

INDICATIVE – the mood of reality

Latin indicatus, past participle of indicare, from in- + dicare to proclaim
“constituting a verb form that represents the denoted act or state as an objective fact” (Webster)
The Indicative Mood is the mood of reality
We have studied only the Indicative Mood thus far.
- whether making a statement, or asking a question about what is factual and real.

This does not mean that everything stated in the Indicative Mood is true, but only that it is being stated
- as opposed to being wished for, hoped for, commanded, considered a possiblity, etc.
- If someone says “Jesus was just a good teacher”, he is making a statement about reality, from his point of view. Therefore it is Indicative, though it is not actually true.

This is the only mood which has time significance. All the other moods have significance of aspect only

SUBJUNCTIVE – the mood of possibility

Latin subjunctivus, from subjunctus, past participle of subjungere to join beneath, subordinate
“constituting a verb form that represents a denoted act or state not as fact but as contingent or possible” (Webster)

OPTATIVE – the mood of wish

Latin optativus, from optare to wish
“constituting a verbal mood that is expressive of wish or desire” (Webster)

IMPERATIVE – the mood of command

Latin imperativus, from imperatus, past participle of imperare to command
“constituting the grammatical mood that expresses the will to influence the behavior of another” (Webster)

Greek Grammar Beyond the Basics

A good NT Lexicon, preferably BAGD. If you cannot afford BAGD, you can ask the διδάσκαλος concerning other alternatives. There are online lexical resources you can use such as The Resurgence Greek Project, but you really should have a hard copy lexicon if at all possible.

Morphology of Biblical Greek – (MBG) is a compendium of the paradigms of Greek grammar which when used will help you to recognize the patterns in what is a very regular language.

Introduction to Eusebius

Thu, 17 Jan 2008 23:34:37 GMT

His Life

Eusebius was born around 265, and as a youth he became a student in the theological school of Caesarea founded by Origen, who was one of the great men of the Alexandrian allegorical school of interpretation. Thus the theological, biblical and exegetical tradition of Origen was most influential on Eusebius. He studied under Pamphilius, and their relationship became more than that of student to teacher — they were friends and co-workers. They studied many works, and added new books to the illustrious library gathered together at Caesarea by Origen during the last twenty years of his life. Being both lovers of books and admirers of Origen, together they studied the text of the Bible, with the aid of Origen’s Hexapla and commentaries collected by Pamphilus, in an attempt to prepare a correct version.
