| I strongly suggest using my professor's Greek textbook entitled _From Alpha to Omega_, by Anne Groton. It is published by Focus. I wish to make the case that learning only Koine Greek is a mistake. This is my beef with, say, Machen's grammar. It is not laid out systematically, because it is made to help you read the New Testament only. But if you teach students to read Greek period (especially classical), then they will be able to read New Testament with only a minimum of corrections necessary on the differences. The New Testament is not the only thing worth reading in Greek. Plus, teaching classical will make reading the NT easy. I strongly suggest this method. There is a workbook that goes along with the textbook that gives extra exercizes. If you train students to be able to read Shakespeare, then they will be able to read John Grisham, or anything else in English, for that matter. |
