Description
Though there are currently plenty of texts for teaching biblical Greek, most of them are plagued by more than a few deficiencies. Written with these flaws in mind, this new primer by N. Clayton Croy offers an effective, single-volume introduction to biblical Greek that has proven successful in classrooms around the country.This volume takes a primarily deductive approach to teaching biblical Greek and assumes that students haven’t any prior knowledge of the language. Divided into 32 separate lessons, each and every containing a generous number of exercises, the text leads students from the Greek alphabet to a working understanding of the language of the Septuagint and the New Testament.
Special features of A Primer of Biblical Greek:
