Im so thankful for all of the work and effort Benjamin has put into this. This is definitely a standard reference work for the next generation of scholars.

Excellent talk. Mr. Kantor's work is awesome.

the problem is answering the questions WHERE and WHEN. Pronunciation not only varies over TIME but GEOGRAPHY. Even if we say "first century AD" we know that Palestine pronounced differently than Alexandria than Athens, and so on. It seems to me that there is no right answer, so we just have to pick one. How do we properly pronounce English? WHERE???? London, Leeds, Scotland, Boston, Atlanta, Auckland? Even within a country there are regional accents ("we know you were with him because you have a galilean accent." Pittsburgh and Philly sounds quite different from each other.) I am grateful for the amazing work that so many (like Kantor) have done. But at the end of the day, we're just making decisions that work for us, right? There can't be a "right" answer for what is "authentic."

I find it amusing how many Greek teachers claim their pronunciation is Erasmian, yet they pronounce it differently from everyone else claiming theirs is the Erasmian pronunciation.

In all fairness to those professors, Erasmian pronunciation originated as satire, and even Erasmus himself, its creator, did not use it.

Why ειμι has a different meaning in the New Testament?

@iberius9937 7 ай бұрын

εῖμι means "I go". εἰμί means "I am".

@jenvasquez2304 - do you mean compared to modern Greek? In other words, different than what in particular?

Greeks never use Erasmus way for koine greek

It's irrelevant what modern Greeks do, unless they are scholars with the relevant background.
