Provides instruction as well as motivation"This book provides 90 days of guided reading and brief exercises to help current and former students retain their knowledge and skill in reading and interpreting Biblical Greek."Students can forget a great deal during the long summer between the end of Greek II and a fall semester exegetical course. This book provides an excellent remedy for the problem, combining regular daily exercises with exegetical observations and theological insights that will remind students of the value of persevering in order to actually master Biblical Greek. It incidentally sets in motion what could become a deeply enriching lifelong habit--that of spending just ten minutes each day in the Greek New Testament. The variety of styles and levels of difficulty in the reading selections prepares students well for their next course, whether it be the Johannine Letters or the Letter to the Hebrews."--David A. deSilva, Ashland Theological Seminary"Merkle's Exegetical Journeys is a well-structured resource to guide students in developing their Greek knowledge after their basic language courses are done. It emphasizes that facility in reading actual texts in Greek is the key to skilled use of the language in interpretation. With graded readings from across the New Testament--including translation helps, notes on vocabulary and syntax, and devotional reflections--the book provides instruction as well as motivation. Highly recommended!"--Buist Fanning, Dallas Theological Seminary (emeritus)"Merkle provides a 90-day guide perfect both for students eager to sharpen what they've learned in their classes and busy ministers intent on picking back up what they've forgotten. What's more, Merkle's five-step presentation helps bridge the growing gap between the seminary classroom and the pastor's study. I highly recommend this resource for those who want to continue on or return to their Biblical Greek journey."--Joseph R. Dodson, Denver Seminary
