Book Reviews of Greek Grammar Beyond the Basics
Book Review: Excellent second-level textbook of Greek grammar
Summary: 5 Stars
This text is required for our second-year course on New Testament Greek. I have to say I find it an excellent text both for reference and for working through systematically.
The book is hardback, 827 pages altogether. The author is prof of NT studies at Dallas Theological Seminary.
After an extensive 31-page Introduction section, the meat of the book is a detailed discussion of Greek Syntax. The chapters cover in detail all the cases, the article, adjectives, pronouns, prepositions; Verbs - person, number, voice, mood and tense, infinitives and participles; clauses, conjunctions, conditional sentences and volitional clauses.
At the back there are detailed syntax summaries for each chapter in the book, a subject index, a greek word index, and a scripture index.
The book started its life as a set of lecture notes for the author's third semester Syntax course at Dallas, and this history is apparent in the text itself. The feel I get from this book is that the author has been teaching the subject for hundreds of years. The student beginning a study of syntax may prefer to ignore the small print and footnotes, whereas more seasoned students will appreciate the exhaustive treatment of each grammatical concept. each topic is explained with reference to particular examples in the NT. This feature when combined with the Scripture index will make it very helpful for preachers who wish to apply an appreciation of the original language in their sermons.
The book is designed to explain syntax, and therefore assumes the student already knows how the various forms are constructed. Therefore there are no tables of verb conjugations or of morphology.
I really like this book. The author has a rather dry sense of humour which comes through in some of his descriptions. i particularly like his description of the 'Aporetic' genitive as the 'I am at a loss' (aporeo) to know what else to call this!
Summary of Greek Grammar Beyond the Basics
For seminary students, the goal of studying Greek grammar is the accurate exegesis of biblical texts. Sound exegesis requires that the exegete consider grammar within a larger framework that includes context, lexeme, and other linguistic features. While the trend of some grammarians has been to take a purely grammatical approach to the language, Greek Grammar Beyond the Basics integrates the technical requirements for proper Greek interpretation with the actual interests and needs of Bible students. It is the first textbook to systematically link syntax and exegesis of the New Testament for second-year Greek students. It explores numerous syntactical categories, some of which have not previously been dealt with in print. Greek Grammar Beyond the Basics is the most up-to-date Greek grammar available. It equips intermediate Greek students with the skills they need to do exegesis of biblical texts in a way that is faithful to their intended meaning. The expanded edition contains a subject index, a Greek word index, and page numbers in the Syntax Summary section.Bibles Books
