Grammar

I found Machen incomprehensible, Summers artificial.  For 
beginners I now recommend one of two books, depending on the 
person's level of fluency in Scholarese:

For those who are fairly fluent in Scholarese there's Ward Powers, 
"Learn to Read the Greek New Testament."  I think this one is still 
in print; it was distributed by Zondervan.

For those who think Scholarese isn't even a real word, I like Ian 
Macnair, "Teach Yourself New Testament Greek" published by 
Nelson.  It's easy to follow and makes the language interesting and 
covers most everything that a first-year grammar should.  Because 
of its design it's not very good as a reference grammar, but that's 
not what it was intended for, either.
