A Graded Reader of Biblical Greek
This is the English component of A Graded Reader of Biblical Greek and is not available for purchase separately.
Overview
Making the leap from the basics of biblical Greek to its real-life application can be a frustrating challenge for students of intermediate Greek. A Graded Reader of Biblical Greek was developed to make the transition easier. It takes beginning exegetes from simple to progressively more difficult biblical texts. Students can now learn New Testament Greek the way they would any other language: through a graded program. A Graded Reader of Biblical Greek applies an inductive method to learning intermediate Greek grammar. It provides a workable introduction to exegesis, word studies, and developing a large vocabulary; and it assists the student in preparing for class, allowing classroom time to be put to its most effective use. A Graded Reader of Biblical Greek is the result of ten years of use and refinement by the author in an actual classroom setting.
