"A
clearly written
and clearly
presented brief
review of the
basics of NT
Greek grammar. .
. . The design of
the layout is
both
pedagogically
helpful and
visually
appealing."--Michael
W. Holmes,
Religious Studies
Review
According
to David Alan
Black, people who
teach or write
about Greek
grammar tend to
treat the subject
as though it were
a green
vegetable: "you
may not like
grammar, but it's
good for you."
It's Still Greek
to Me offers an
alternative
approach.
"I have
tried to organize
the book in a
manner geared to
the way people
actually use the
language, and I
have done my
utmost to make
this book not
only accurate but
easy to
understand and
enjoyable to
read," Black
explains. "I have
tried, in short,
to produce a true
user's guide to
New Testament
Greek for the
twenty-first
century. The only
prerequisites on
your part are a
basic knowledge
of Greek--and a
healthy sense of
humor."
Like
other
intermediate
grammars, It's
Still Greek to Me
provides a
comprehensive
survey of Greek
syntax with
chapters devoted
to the nuances of
Greek nouns,
verbs, and
clauses. Unlike
other grammars,
this one also
takes students on
a brief refresher
tour of English
grammar.
It's
Still Greek to Me
is intended
primarily for
those who have
finished one year
of instruction in
Greek and is thus
best suited for
second-year Greek
classes or
seminary exegesis
courses. Its
thirteen chapters
can easily be
covered in a
one-semester
course, with
ample time for
review and
testing. Each
chapter concludes
with practice
exercises and key
terms for review. |
