In New Testament Greek, the perfect tense is notoriously disputed and all sorts of semantic functions are attributed to it.
Well said, Mike, too much is often made of the Perfect in that way. I’m a bit surprised at Dunn’s readings. The much older Lutheran commentator Lenski does the same thing.
Yes, I thought it was strange how Dunn over-cooked his commentary on this point.
Thanks Mike. Interesting indeed!
