Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This textbook was conceived and written under the authors’ conviction that the feature of Greek grammar that lends itself most readily to understanding and discussion is syntax, especially the syntax of the verb and that such understanding has been unnecessarily complicated by the traditional use of a terminology derived more from the study of the Latin verb than the Greek. The principal feature of the Greek verb is no longer presented as that of “tense,” a term that conflates and confuses questions of the time of an action relative to the act of speaking with ways of representing an action in itself. Rather, emphasis is placed on the latter feature, the aspect of a verb, both as a means of organizing the many forms that the verb can take and as a means of making comparatively simple sense of the multiplicity of syntactical rules that govern its use. Volume One features twenty Lessons presenting basic Greek Grammar in a manner facilitating the early introduction of substantial and philosophically rich passages from Heraclitus Aeschylus, Xenophon, Aristotle, Euclid and especially Plato, each containing vocabulary, discussion and exercises to aid in retention and reinforcement. Volume Two contains extended readings, with grammatical and vocabulary notes, from Plato and Aristotle, including the complete dialogue Meno, as well as Appendices and comprehensive Vocabulary lists. The two most distinctive Lessons in the text occur close to the beginning. Lesson Four presents the six features that determine any Greek verb—aspect (progressive, aorist or simple, perfect), “tense” (past, present, future), mood, voice, person, number)—through a discussion that is carried out mostly in English. At the end of the lesson, students are in possession of all the conceptual elements upon which the syntax of the Greek verb is based. Lesson Five presents the Progressive System of the regular verb in all of its moods and voices. The burden of paradigms on the memory is lightened by means of an emphasis on analysis into a verb’s formative elements and through the use of linguistic rules that show how seemingly diverse forms arise from common origins. This early presentation of the non-indicative moods allows the student to appreciate the verb as a conveyer, not only of facts, but of the speaker’s doubts, wishes, speculations and feelings as well.

Download or read book Introduction to the Study of the New Testament Greek written by James Swetnam and published by Pontificio Istituto Biblico. This book was released on 2019 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fr. Swetnam's Introduction to the Study of the New Testament Greek has become a standard reference to any students have asked if there exists a lexicon, to accompanying Fr. Swetnam's two volume Opus. The initial response was to direct them to any of the leading Greek-English lexica. Then, we realized that their problem was not so much searching for the meaning of the words, but in finding them with-in the grammar itself. Consequently, we decided to create and organize the Swetnam's-Soto Greek English Lexicon of New Testament. The SSGELNT is structured in a way that it may be used as a companion to Fr. Swetnam's Grammar, or as an independent lexicon. The first part contains all the Greek words present in the grammar ordered alphabetically, and the second part, the Greek words present in the Grammar but by lesson (1-67).There are also two appendixes to this lexicon: one on the use of Preposotions, another on the use of those most needed particles for any language: A.M.D.G. Father James Swetnam's Introduction to the Study of New Testament Greek has become a classic. Generations of students at both the Pontifical Biblical Institute and the Pontifical Gregorian University in Rome, in addition to other institutions across the globe, have profited from Father Swetnam's text. I myself made good use of it when I first arrived in Rome in the early 1990s. Father Randy Soto's companion lexicon will make Father Swetnam's Introduction now even more accessible. Consequently, the student of New Testament Greek owes a debt of thanks to both Father Swetnam and Father Soto. This lexicon is, moreover, a wonderful tribute to a faithful Jesuit priest who has inspired literally thousands of students. I myself directly benefited from Father Swetnam's spiritual wisdom for more than a decade during the early years of my own priesthood. So, I join my voice to Father Soto's: Ad multos annos, Pater Swetnam! Father Joseph Carola, S.J. The Pontifical Gregorian University, Rome

It reinforces key concepts student learn through parsing and translation exercises for each chapter.

This solid foundation enables students first to internalize key concepts, then to apply and build upon them as more complex ideas are introduced. Several features are specifically designed to aid student's learning: Key concepts are graphically coded to offer visual reinforcement of explanations and to facilitate learning forms and identifying their functions Key concepts are followed by numerous examples from the Greek New Testament Students learn how to mark Greek texts so that they can begin to "see" the syntax, identify the boundaries of syntactic units, and construct syntactic outlines as part of their preaching or teaching preparation Four integrative chapters, roughly corresponding to the midterms and final exams of a two-semester sequence, summarize material to date and reinforce key concepts. Here students are also introduced to exegetical and interpretive concepts and practices that they will need for subsequent Greek studies and beyond. "Going Deeper" and "For the Curious" offer supplemental information for students interested in learning more or in moving to advanced language study.

Download or read book Greek for Everyone written by A. Chadwick Thornhill and published by Baker Books. This book was released on 2016-09-20 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Who Says You Have to Attend Seminary to Learn Greek? Reading the New Testament in its original language is one of the most effective ways to gain a greater understanding of the message of the Bible. Even though Greek is important to preparation for preaching and teaching, many who are called to ministry will not be able to dedicate years of study to master the language. But a lack of mastery of Greek should not exclude us from gleaning important insight and inspiration from reading Scripture in its original language. Now pastors, Bible study instructors, Sunday school teachers, and serious lay students of the Bible can learn the basics of biblical Greek at their own pace. Greek for Everyone explains how the Greek language works and introduces the Greek alphabet, pronunciation, vocabulary, and grammar, equipping readers to understand the original meaning of the New Testament. By focusing on the takeaways that most impact interpretation, this accessible book provides a working knowledge of biblical Greek for the study of Scripture.
