Volume 2 of a series of 3, GREEK GRAMMAR: You ARE Learning Bible Greek is a self-help for persons of all levels of education who wish to study Bible Greek. Volume 2 continues where Volume 1 left off.Greek Grammar: You ARE Learning Bible Greek" is not merely a progressive study course. This grammar of three volumes is a reliable guide into one's quest for an accurate understanding of Koine ("New Testament") Greek. It is the student's practical handbook on Greek; the minister's consultant for the correct application of Bible texts; the theologian's reference book for maintaining unerring exegesis in grammatical studies. Greek Grammar is the interlinear analyst's guidebook; the linguist's trusted adviser. Of course, this is a course anyone can search through to learn the progressive points of Greek grammar.While respecting the differing views of readers regarding their position on personal belief and doctrine, Greek Grammar reasons with the student regarding the correct comprehension of grammar in its own context in order to allow the Greek text to explain itself. This prevents one from falling into the trap of personal interpretation based on an errant conceptof a specific text in the "New Testament."Thus, Greek Grammar will not shy away from addressing such popular passages as was demonstrated in Volume 1 with John 1:1. In Volume 2, this reference work studies Phil. 2:6 and the phrase "who gave no consideration to a seizure, namely to be equal to God." Often, translators render the phrase in question as "this equality," or "his equality," believing that this phrase is anaphoric. However, anaphora is not grammatically accurate when considering the articular infinitive. It has no place at Philippians 2:6, or in the "New Testament," for that matter, when examining the Greek infinitive. This examination will prove that the expression Gr- "toh einai isa theo") is not anaphoric, as many have supposed. Volume 3, the final volume, will address the translation of John 1:1 and other vital aspects of grammar as they relate to popular exegesis and commonly held beliefs.In addition, in Volume 2, John 8:58 and the often misunderstood use of "ego' ei'mi" will be treated extensively. First, it will be considered in connection with the present tense and later with aorist infinitive at this same text. The use of both tenses together, reveal the accurate rendering, which translates the text into English into the perfect tense. However, the bulk of Greek Grammar examines the employment of all aspects of the Greek language as one studies the profound wisdom of Bible Greek. It is an especially helpful companion to the student's Greek interlinear as he or she lays both references open side-by-side to make comparisons during that one's study periods.Greek Grammar, with its numerous pages of rich treasures in all three volumes, will provide the Greek enthusiast with more than what is needed to study and comprehend this precious language. As an added feature, this progressive study course connects Koine (Bible Greek) with modern Greek, so that the student can discern the remarkable parallel between the two languages.Volume 2 of the series will also consider the meaning of the Greek word rendered worship throughout some versions. However, "proskyne'o" does not always mean "worship." It has a broader meaning, as it conveys the customary gesture of showing respect which was evident in Bible times., and can mean "obeisance," respectful honor. You will also find Greek Grammar captivating as it considers the Koine and the Erasmian methods of pronunciation of Greek words, and may be surprised to learn which method proves the most practical.If you are bold enough to start on this intrepid journey, you will gain an experience few others have dared to attempt. But if you do so, you will never regret your decision. Instead, you will likely find the hidden treasures in life you have been searching for.
