A Graded Reader of Biblical Greek: Exegetical Discussion
This is the Greek 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.

Top Highlights
“Phrasing makes use of grammatical relationships, but they are usually at the phrase level, not the word level” (Page xv)
“I recommend that once you have finished Track One, i.e., translating the passage, you move into phrasing. It does not tell you what the relationships are among phrases, but it forces you to ask the questions and is a natural lead into exegesis.” (Page xiii)
“The point is to help you ask the important exegetical question of the relationships among the phrases. Do not become preoccupied with the minutia of the method.” (Page xxiii)
“Phrasing helps show immediate relationships, but not the larger relationships” (Page xxiii)
“Sometimes the subject can be separated from the main verb” (Page xviii)
