Description: Designed as a textbook for teaching introductory Greek grammar and syntax, Greek is Good Grief uses a graded database. Working from that database, the chapters introduce first those forms that occur most frequently. Each new grammatical concept is introduced by a discussion of English grammar and each chapter begins with a "Grammar Grabber," which highlights an aspect of the chapter's content by explaining how that aspect of grammar is important for understanding a portion of the Greek text of the New Testament. Field tested in both face-to-face and distance learning course formats, Greek is Good Grief lays the foundation for a smooth transition to the study of Greek exegesis and exposition.
