Stanley Porter has earned degrees in biblical studies, linguistics, New Testament, and English. His extensive research and publication record includes production of primary texts, detailed linguistic and grammatical analyses, and theoretical and methodological studies in a variety of subject areas. He has also produced a number of detailed exegetically based studies that bring such issues to bear in practical and applied ways. Although he is perhaps best known for his work in verbal aspect, he has also published important works in the fields of general grammatical theory, discourse analysis, traditional New Testament studies, and papyrology. Porter has taught at universities in the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom, and is currently President, Dean and Professor of New Testament at McMaster Divinity College, Hamilton, ON in Canada.
