About this title

Synopsis

Learning Greek is one thing. Retaining it and using it in preaching, teaching, and ministry is another.

In this volume, two master teachers with nearly forty years of combined teaching experience inspire readers to learn, retain, and use Greek for ministry, setting them on a lifelong journey of reading and loving the Greek New Testament.

Designed to accompany a beginning or intermediate Greek grammar, this book

● offers practical guidance, inspiration, and motivation;
● presents methods not usually covered in other textbooks;
● surveys helpful resources for recovering Greek after a long period of disuse; and
● includes devotional thoughts from the Greek New Testament.

The book will benefit anyone who is taking (or has taken) a year of New Testament Greek.
