From the Publisher
Biblical Greek Exegesis is a combination textbook-workbook for intermediate and advanced Greek (second- and third-year Greek students) that moves away from the traditional deductive method to a modified inductive approach. This approach avoids the pitfalls that come when students confront the intricacies of syntax first and only later move on to exegesis--long after they've lost heart and motivation. Biblical Greek Exegesis uses the first nine passages of Bill Mounce's Graded Reader of Biblical Greek. In addition to simple translation and grammatical analysis, this book encourages students to analyze each unit carefully through diagramming the Greek text grammatically and semantically, analyzing its words and concepts, conferring with major commentaries, seeing how the passage relates broader biblical and theological contexts, and finally, after deriving principles from the text, applying the passage to everyday life. The book is filled with exercises, helps in diagramming, and worksheets for all stages of the exegetical process. The authors, along with several other professors, of New Testament, have field-tested this course in the classroom--and watched students come alive with a deepening interest in studying the New Testament in its original language. Here is a commonsense, comprehensive exegetical method that will stay with students of New Testament Greek the rest of their lives.
