An Analysis of the Attributive Participle and the Relative Clause in the Greek New Testament

Many New Testament Greek grammarians assert that the Greek attributive participle and the Greek relative clause are "equivalent." In this book, Michael E. Hayes disproves those assertions through an analysis of every attributive participle and relative clause in the Greek New Testament.

Résumé
"It is one thing to look at a number of examples, even a great number. It is another thing to look at all of the examples, and that is exactly what Michael E. Hayes has done with his nonpareil study of attributive participles and relative clauses. Building upon my own growing suspicion that the two constructions are not equivalent in Koine Greek, he develops overwhelming facts, establishing the largely distinct nature of each construction, though acknowledging areas of overlap. This is the way linguistic understanding makes progress, viz., not by computer analysis but by the hard work of actually looking at data in context. Kudos!" -James W. Voelz, Dr. Jack Dean Kingsbury Professor of New Testament Theology, Concordia Seminary
