A Distributional Synoptic Perspective On The So-Called “Historical Present” Tense Of Mark’S Gospel, Oliver Glanz Oct 2026

A Distributional Synoptic Perspective On The So-Called “Historical Present” Tense Of Mark’S Gospel, Oliver Glanz

Andrews University Seminary Studies (AUSS)

The Greek “historical present” (HP) tense phenomenon is often presented in textbooks and grammars as a literary feature that authors use in historical narrative texts to bring a sense of vividness to the reader. As if the historical distance of the “pastness” of the narrated event is overcome and the reader is brought—like in a time machine—into the presence of the event narrated. Even though this concept of the so-called Greek HP has been contested, if not rejected by some Greek scholars, it is often taught in seminaries and NT Greek textbooks. The absence of a consensus about the function …
