Description: This text is not a grammar in the traditional sense. Because conventional sentence-based grammar studies only one aspect of the communication process in isolation from all other aspects, it is unable to make definitive statements concerning meaning. The objective of students in seminary Greek classes, however, is to use Greek in exegesis of the New Testament. This text is designed to help students by augmenting traditional grammar with insights from modern linguistics. Its purpose is to train students to become exegetes, not merely grammarians. It is an exegetically based treatment of topics normally discussed in intermediate grammars of New Testament Greek. - Preface.
