Paine is a long-standing favorite. People need this to know the basic endings and grammar. Copies cost from $22 up used.

Here Is the Plan
Starting with Ash Wednesday, I will complete the service and go into the Greek lesson based on the I AM sermons in the Gospel of John. They will also be the sermons.

Lent is the warm-up for Romans 1-5 and beyond. Easter week, we will have one hour sessions on Romans in Greek.

But take note - the class is mostly English and focused on learning what the English says, based on reading Greek. Several people joined the class for the exegesis.

We will emphasize reading Greek as opposed to grammar rules and vocabulary lists. The more you read, the better you will understand. Greek is very easy to learn.

The first lesson is being able to write out the Greek alphabet and recite it.
