- Summary:
- Many students have forgotten, or never learned, the basic grammatical concepts needed for studying Biblical Greek. Explanations of these concepts in Greek grammar textbooks are either too skimpy or too complex. Grammatical Concepts 101 for Biblical Greek fills this gap. In this complement to standard classroom grammars, veteran language instructor and Greek scholar Gary Long revisits English grammar in order to teach more effectively concepts that are specific to Greek.
- Arranged to supplement teaching grammars, each chapter takes up individual concepts, first explaining how the concept works in English, then illustrating its use in Biblical Greek. Long explains, for example, voice, tense, aspect, mood, participles, independent and dependent clauses, adjectives, adverbs, pronouns, even discourse analysis and translation theory, in easy-to-understand language. Abundant English and Greek examples illustrate each concept, most of them visually analyzed. Glosses and translations help students grasp the Greek examples.
