COMPREHENSIVE GREEK

NT501X-KA

Fall 2002

Asbury Theological Seminary

Instructor:  Kevin L. Anderson, Ph.D.

Kappa Module: Present Middle and Passive Indicative 

At this point we experience a "voice change": from active to middle or passive!

Orientation

So far we have studied all of the Greek tenses in the indicative mood, but only in the active voice. Now we will embark on studying all of the tenses in the indicative mood in both the passive and middle voice.

All of the active tenses that we have covered have been based upon the primary and secondary active suffixes. This accounts for the formal similarities, e.g., between first aorist active and perfect active indicative suffixes, since both use the secondary active endings (the main difference between the endings is that the first aorist is characterized by a s-infix, while the perfect has a k-infix).. Likewise, all of the remaining tenses of the indicative mood will be based upon two groups of suffixes called the primary and secondary middle suffixes.
