Synopsis
This companion to Basics of Biblical Greek and Greek Grammar Beyond the Basics contains annotated readings from the New Testament designed for second-year students of the Greek language.

From the Back Cover
Making the leap from the basics of biblical Greek to its real-life application can be a frustrating challenge for students of intermediate Greek. A Graded Reader of Biblical Greek was developed to make the transition easier. It takes beginning exegetes from simple to progressively more difficult biblical texts. Students can now learn New Testament Greek the way they would any other language: through a graded program. A Graded Reader of Biblical Greek applies an inductive method to learning intermediate Greek grammar. It provides a workable introduction to exegesis, word studies, and developing a large vocabulary; and it assists the student in preparing for class, allowing classroom time to be put to its most effective use. - Twenty Greek passages are presented in graded order. - Difficult and unfamiliar grammatical constructions are explained. - All words that occur fewer than 20 times in the New Testament are defined. - An "Exegetical Discussion" section helps the exegete gain a deeper understanding of the language. A Graded Reader of Biblical Greek is the result of ten years of use and refinement by the author in an actual classroom setting.

The best next step after a basic grammar
This is a great next step once you have finished a first year grammar (I strongly recommend "The Basics of Biblical Greek" by the same author). After the hard slog of the basics this is the light at the end of tunnel! At last you can start to use your Greek! I found it great to start going through passages like this - it is what you started learning for in the first place.

Just remember that there is now a "summer vacation" book in the Zondervan series that fits in-between this one and "Basics". It is entitled "A Summer Greek Reader" by Goodrich & Diewert. This makes the transition from 1st yr - 2nd yr Greek even smoother!

When you have completed this "Graded Reader" there is a subsequent book in the Zondervan series entitled "Biblical Greek Exegesis" by Guthrie & Duvall. In the first part of this book they go through exactly the same passages as Mounce but in greater depth.
