An intermediate to advanced exploration into the nature and function of voice and mood in the Koine Greek of the New Testament.

The author thoroughly explores the history of grammatical understanding of both voice and mood, supplying a well researched explanation of the various ways voice and mood have been explained in grammars throughout time. The author then explores a more SFL approach to both voice and mood in the New Testament.

In terms of voice: voice reflects causality and agency relative to the subject. The author would not go so far as to combine the middle and passive voices, but believes deponents are just middle forms.

In terms of mood: mood reflects the author's idea of the verb as it relates to reality.

The work is very thorough and useful for deeper exploration of Koine Greek grammar.
