Grammatical analysis of the Ancient Greek used in the Book of Revelation
Hi everyone,
I am happy to be here. I am working on a grammatical analysis of the Ancient Greek as used in the Book of Revelation. I take a nontraditional approach consisting in using general linguistic concepts mostly employed in English grammar (mostly from the book The Cambridge Grammar of the English Language) as much as possible as it is meant for an English readership. By the way, I come here, because many Christians I contacted have fixed ideas and would "start a war" whenever I come to a meaning that is different to what they were taught and also because my approach is, to repeat their words, not "faith-based".
I use grammar to explain the meaning I derive from the Ancient Greek text, based on my understanding of Modern Greek but also mostly on the KJV translation (which I found somewhat incorrect). The idea is also to propose corrections or retranslations to make up for the inaccuracies and incorrect words in that translation. I mostly need help regarding my descriptions of words but, of course, other pieces of advice and critique are welcome.
My question is: where can I find such help? Like I said, concepts used are mostly taken from the English grammar found in the aforementioned book, so English team may be able to help. In addition, it is about Ancient Greek, so Greek team may not necessarily be able to help (as I also understand Greek more than I speak and write it).
