Jimmy, you crack me up sometimes.  Zerwick has been a standard for many years.  Not as well organized as I think it could have been, and in my edition the font is a bit too small (I have a very old edition), but for general intermediate content, it's fine.  For the most part, Zerwick just sticks to explaining the Greek.  I vaguely recall one section where he suggests that a certain grammatical construction is an exception to the rule because it would imply that Jesus had *real* brothers and sisters, but that is the only "Roman Catholic" influence that I ever remember peeking through.

Excellent.  Perseverence is the watchword here: a little Greek every day goes a long way...
