Saturday a’Machen: The Minister and His Greek Testament posted by Esteban Vázquez at The Voice of Stefan
The first post above has the quote shown below. I don’t understand the part that I have made bold. Could anyone explain that?
Feel ‘poured out’ over a great many interests with intense desire to do but so little power and time to accomplish . . . Hebrew: I can think of nothing I’d like better than to be able to pick up a page of the Hebrew Old Testament and read it at sight. Greek loses a lot of its challenge when one gets to know a little.
–Jim Elliot, College Journals
P.S. I’m still not posting much because of recovering from back surgery. It’s going well but slower than expected.
Its true, the first year is the hardest – mainly because much of what’s typically done in the first year of grammar is simply memorization, which is boring and rote. Such activities don’t generally cause intense excitement.
Also, I have found that knowing “a little” gives me quite a bit of access to the GK NT. So I can see one must really press on to become good at it.
I want to know more about Greek language so that it will help me to understand the and interpret th Bible well. If you can help me know Greek language, then I will be very great full.
Njimoh I would start with Greek For The Rest Of Us and either Croy’s or Black’s Greek Grammar books.
