Greek Grammar John Poly

"Greek Grammar: You ARE Learning Bible Greek" is not merely a progressive study course. This grammar of three volumes is a reliable guide into one's quest for an accurate understanding of Koine ("New Testament") Greek. It is the student's practical handbook on Greek; the minister's consultant for the correct application of Bible texts; the theologian's reference book for maintaining unerring exegesis in grammatical studies. Greek Grammar is the interlinear analyst's guidebook; the linguist's trusted adviser. While respecting the differing views of readers regarding their positions on personal belief and doctrine, Greek Grammar reasons with the student regarding the correct comprehension of grammar in its own context in order to allow the Greek text to explain itself. This prevents one from falling into the trap of personal interpretation based on an errant concept of a specific text in the "New Testament."Thus, Greek Grammar will not shy away from addressing such popular passages as John 1:1, John 8:58, John 20:28; 1 Timothy 3:16 and Revelation 3:14. These are just a sampling of the many texts that are covered in Volume 1 of Greek Grammar. More on John 1:1 and a proposed rule regarding the predicate nominative will be presented in this volume. In Volume 2, John 8:58 will be covered, as will Phil. 2:6 and the phrase "who gave no consideration to a seizure, namely to be equal to God." Volume 3, the final volume, will address other vital aspects of grammar as they relate to popular exegesis and commonly held beliefs. However, the bulk of Greek Grammar examines the employment of all aspects of the Greek language as one studies the profound wisdom of Bible Greek. It is an especially helpful companion to the student's Greek interlinear as he or she lays both references open side-by-side to make comparisons during that one's study periods. Greek Grammar, with its 600 pages of rich treasures will provide the Greek enthusiast with more than what is needed to study and comprehend this precious language. As an added feature, this progressive study course connects Koine (Bible Greek) with modern Greek, so that the student can discern the remarkable parallel between the two languages. You will also find Greek Grammar captivating as it considers the Koine and the Erasmian methods of pronunciation of Greek words, and you may be surprised to learn which method proves to be the most practical. If you are bold enough to start on this intrepid journey, you will gain an experience few others have dared to attempt. But if you do so, you will never regret your decision. Instead, you will likely find the hidden treasures in life you have been searching for.
