Helps and Keeping Up Your Greek
Byhenry May 9, 2011
Dave Black has another good paragraph on keeping up your Greek: I will not go into the mechanics of keeping up with your Greek this summer. For this, you can refer to my book Using New Testament Greek in Ministry, published by Baker Book House. Con Campbell and a host of other Greek teachers will…
