Grammatical Concepts 101 for Biblical Greek: Learning Biblical Greek Grammatical Concepts Through English Grammar Paperback - 2006
by Gary a. Long
From the rear cover
A recognized expert in biblical languages offers a readable and linguistically savvy guide to navigating basic grammatical concepts.
"We all know that grammar is 'good for us, ' but we cringe at the prospect at having to relearn everything we learned (or were supposed to learn) in grade school. Add to that the study of a second language--and one as challenging as New Testament Greek--and you have a recipe for disaster. Enter Grammatical Concepts 101 for Biblical Greek. I rate this book as four stars (out of five) because it almost achieves the impossible--it makes grammar as painless as possible. I will definitely recommend it as a reference tool to my Greek students. If anyone wants a concise, easy-to-understand definition of any given part of speech (both in Greek and English), it's all here!"
--David Alan Black, Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary; author of Learn to Read New Testament Greek and It's Still Greek to Me
"Gary Long has written what many Greek teachers have desired for a long time--an informed guide to Greek grammar that begins with English grammar. Not assuming too much knowledge of English by current students, Long begins with the basic sounds and forms of language, and assembles a useful linguistic edifice that reaches all the way to discourse analysis. I believe that many Greek teachers will find this a useful--if not necessary--aid for their students."
--Stanley E. Porter, McMaster Divinity College
"This book could and should be used with good effect as a supplement for Greek beginners. It would add value to most existing textbooks."
--Review of Biblical Literature
"The author of this work is a veteran teacher of biblical Greek and he notes that often students are learning 'two' languages at once--the Greek itself and the grammar of their native language, English, which is often poorly understood. The purpose of this resource is to help beginning Greek students make the connections between the familiar grammatical concepts and structures of their native language and the distinctive features of biblical Greek. . . . Those who teach biblical Greek may find this a helpful resource."
--The Bible Today
