Saint Louis, MO—Concordia Publishing House (CPH) announces the release of the fourth edition of Dr. James W. Voelz’s Fundamental Greek Grammar, which provides the basis for solid instruction in New Testament Greek vocabulary, morphology, and syntax.
First published in 1986, the fourth edition improves a number of explanations and adds new biblical passages in several chapters,” said Voelz. “No doubt more significant, it contains a full copy of the ‘English Review for Greek,’ a short composition that gives beginning Greek students a refresher of English basics to enable them to improve their grasp of basic linguistic categories as they seek to acquire another language.”
Learning a complex language is difficult, but Voelz carefully explains concepts in detail, making it a valuable tool for students and teachers of Greek. “After many years of studying and applying the lessons I learned to pastoral ministry, I began teaching Greek readings at Concordia University Chicago, where I happily required the Voelz grammar for my students,” says Dr. Michael Eschelbach, professor of New Testament at Concordia University, Irvine. “Like me, year after year my Greek students benefited from this grammar and, like me, continue to go back to it for fundamentals and renewed enthusiasm for reading the New Testament in the original language.”
Features of Fundamental Greek Grammar: Fourth Edition:
- “English Review for Greek,” a refresher of the basics of English for students
- Exercises with answer key
- Vocabulary
- Paradigms
- Pronunciation guides
