The time has come. Kevin Grasso's Greek textbook will be available on November 2nd online and in print. Reading Greek Deeply: A Linguistic, Exegetical, and Fluency-Based Introduction is published by De Gruyter Brill. The online PDF will be free and open-access, and print copies will also be available. You can enter to win a free copy here: biblingo.com/textbook Why yet another Greek grammar in the crowded world of excellent Greek textbooks? A few reasons: (1) INTEGRATED WITH BIBLINGO While it stands alone, this textbook also serves as the perfect companion to the Greek lessons in the Biblingo app. It is designed to provide a way for Biblingo learners to dive deeper into the grammar of Greek. Those of you who use Biblingo have already been using much of this material in draft form inside the app lessons. (2) APPLICATION OF LINGUISTICS This textbook seeks to apply the latest research in linguistics to the study of NT Greek. Linguist Paul Kroeger (DIU) said: "The book models an integrated approach to linguistics and Biblical studies, illustrating some of the ways in which each tradition can benefit from the insights of the other." (3) MARRIAGE OF METHODOLOGIES With this project, Kevin aims to synthezize the best of varying approaches to learning Greek. Greek professor @smehorn (HCU) says of the textbook: "I recommend it heartily to any students and especially teachers of Greek who are seeking to bridge the gap between living-language approaches and traditional grammar instruction. 4. UNIQUE INTEGRATION OF EXEGESIS Rather than relegating exegesis to the later stages of learning Greek, this textbook integrates exegetical practice early and often. New Testament scholar @jasonstaples said, "The interspersed exegetical sections are also of value on their own even beyond the demonstration of methods, making robust and sometimes novel cases for strong readings, though not all will agree with every conclusion. Highly recommended." This textbook will be adaptable for: - Seminary and university classrooms (covers a typical 4 semesters of Greek) - High-school study (can span 4 years of study) - Self-study (serves as a fantastic complement to Biblingo) Learn more about the textbook and enter to win a free hard copy at biblingo.com/textbook.

“Keep short accounts with God”. Well intentioned, & dear to many evangelicals. But its logic comes from hell. It says Christians to relate to God by ledger, anxiety, and perpetual self-audit. It imagines the son of Luke 15 running back to the father who is ... holding an invoice

A taxi driver in Spain became known for driving patients to the hospital free of charge. One day, while picking up another patient, doctors and nurses surprised him with a standing ovation and a donation in gratitude for his kindness.

Ever wondered what a creed for “decisionism” might look like if we allowed it to speak clearly? Here is a draft. I think something like this does a lot of theological work for many, even if not explicitly. It is behind a lot of our most pernicious theological missteps.
