Revelation’s Use of the Greek Language

The chapter summarizes what many consider grammatical irregularities in Revelation’s Greek. These are often thought to show a Semitic influence on the author’s language, and to perhaps suggest that he knew Greek only as a second language. Some propose that the writer used a distinctive type of Jewish Greek, that the irregularities show a reliance on the Old Testament, or that they perhaps indicate that he was intentionally flouting the established patterns of Greek usage. Recent studies, however, show that it is more likely that the writer was simply using a form of Greek that was common in his social context.
