ἔχειν πίστιν in Hellenistic Greek and its Contribution to the πίστις Χριστοῦ Debate
(2012) In Biblical and Ancient Greek Linguistics 1. p.5-37- Abstract
- This article argues that the construction ἔχειν πίστιν in Hellenistic Greek is a nominalized ideational metaphor that is semantically related to the finite verb πιστεύειν. Therefore, when the construction possesses a genitive modifier, the function of the genitive is disambiguated as denoting the object of πίστιν. This understanding of ἔχειν πίστιν + the genitive has significant implications for interpreting the construction in Mark 11:22, Jas 2:1, and Hippolytus‘s De Antichristo 61:26.
