Greek is good grief : laying the foundation for exegesis and exposition / by John D. Harvey. - Eugene, Oregon : Wipf and Stock Publishers, (c)2007. - x, 322 pages ; 23 cm.
Designed as a textbook for teaching introductory Greek grammar and syntax, the book uses a graded database, beginning with the simpler Greek of John 1, moving to Mark 8 as an example of middle level Greek, and concluding with I Thessalonians 1-2 as representative of Paul's style. Working from that database, the chapters introduce first those forms that occur most frequently. Translation of the Greek New Testament itself can begin as early as chapter 5. The practice sentences in each chapter are, to the greatest degree possible, based on sentences taken directly from the Greek New Testament. This book lays the foundation for a smooth transition to the study of Greek exegesis and expostion.
