Collier\u003c\/b\u003e (Author)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs a Pre-Grammar, this book is intended as a prelude leading to New Testament (NT) Greek studies. (1) It focuses on why the pursuit of Greek as a spiritual discipline can be an exciting adventure that forever changes the way one reads the Bible; and (2) it gives one a taste of the language--a kind of \"jump start.\" Each chapter is divided into two sections: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI. SPIRITUAL DISCIPLINE (with various titles) The first section of each chapter is the primary focus of the book. It emphasizes and illustrates why the pursuit of NT Greek can be a spiritual discipline: a life-long encounter with biblical texts, a spiritual journey.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapters 1-3 briefly describe spiritual disciplines and why the pursuit of NT Greek belongs here. \u003cbr\u003e Chapters 4-10 lay out seven (7) benchmarks, one for each chapter. By looking at one specific text from the Gospel of Matthew (13:52), these chapters highlight the pursuit of NT Greek as one way of serving God: a truly spiritual discipline. \u003cbr\u003e II. TIME FOR GREEK (always this title) The second section of each chapter offers some very basic Greek, enough to give readers a taste for the language. This is not a \"shortcut\" to learning Greek. (There is no such thing ) Here, a mere taste of Greek is offered at a light pace, a kind of \"jump start\" into the language, or maybe like a \"sampler\" in a restaurant. This small amount of the language is intended to help one see the larger picture as a way of serving God and to whet the appetite for taking the next step. A focus only or even primarily on the Greek part of this book will result in missing the point of the book.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTABLE OF CONTENTS \u003cbr\u003e Explanation of Chapter Format: 9\u003cbr\u003e Master List: The 7 Spiritual Benchmarks 11\u003cbr\u003e 1 A GREEK EXPERIENCE 13\u003cbr\u003e 2 A SPIRITUAL DISCIPLINE 21\u003cbr\u003e 3 A TIME TO SOW 31\u003cbr\u003e 4 SCRIBES 39\u003cbr\u003e 5 TRAINED 47\u003cbr\u003e 6 KINGDOM OF HEAVEN 55\u003cbr\u003e 7 HOUSEHOLD MANAGER 69\u003cbr\u003e 8 TREASURE 83\u003cbr\u003e 9 NEW 93\u003cbr\u003e 10 OLD 103\u003cbr\u003e APPENDIX 119\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 132\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.38 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e December 01, 2019\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42104547508359,"sku":"9780998323077","price":40.28,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/2623\/2711\/files\/d5775f52d8a0fc14313bbcea99d229ad.webp?v=1732425236","url":"https:\/\/booksby.splitshops.com\/products\/scribes-trained-for-the-kingdom-a-pre-grammar-for-new-testament-greek-as-a-spiritual-discipline-hardcover","provider":"Books by splitShops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
