Intermediate New Testament Greek by Richard A. Young Intermediate New Testament Greek 
   by Richard A. Young

Intermediate New Testament Greek helps students learn to use their knowledge of Greek in the exegesis of the New Testament. It accomplishes this goal by augmenting traditional grammar with insights from modern linguistics.  This volume is a worthy successor to Dana and Mantey.  Using a linguistic model, Young goes beyond the traditional approaches of sentence-based studies of the surface structure of the Greek language. He presents a broader picture of communication that examines both the language of the Greek New Testament and how its meaning is influences by its literary and situational contexts. A must-have for anyone wishing to do biblical exegesis and diagramming.
