      Writing In Rhythm

      Jun 19, 2019

      Often when people talk about “the music of language” they make it sound like a mere frill, something we add to “dress up” plain writing. I don’t agree with this view. At the heart of language, I hear music—word-music, akin in many ways to instrumenta

      A GREEK PRIMER

      For Beginners in New Testament Greek

      μηδὲν ἄγαν

      Wallace N. Stearns

      THE METHODIST BOOK CONCERN

      NEW YORK      CINCINNATI

      Copyright, 1914, by

      WALLACE N. STEARNS

      A scholarly knowledge of Greek requires some time and effort. Every preacher and teacher of the New Testament books would be greatly helped by being able even to refer to the dictionary and to pick out the critical notes in a high-grade commentary.

      In many instances memory has grown dim, and there is need of some not too pretentious guide to a new beginning.

      Out of many such experiences this meager outline has come, an attempt built up on the old maxim, Do not in the beginning attempt too much.

      SUGGESTIONS

      Learn principles. Language preceded grammar, and the latter is at best a generalization of the former.

      Learn words. Acquire a vocabulary. The first step is to know words and, further, to know them in their Greek dress.

      Read aloud. The ear lends efficient help to the eye. There is an indefinable swing even to Greek prose that facilitates study.

      Commit passages—however brief—to memory. Better than rules is a fund of actual examples, stored up in the memory, of Greek as it was spoken and written.

      With this outline the text of the forth Gospel should be used from the start (see notice on next page) for study, reading aloud, and for memorizing.

      Remember that in the end all methods avail little. The way to do a thing
