A Workbook for New Testament Grammar and Exegesis in First John provides valuable help for students who want to begin studying the New Testament in the original Greek.

Also provided are two built-in reference • Greek-English Dictionary of First John —briefly defines every word used in 1 John
• Analytical Lexicon of First John —parses every form that appears in the letter Designed for use in the second half of a first-year Greek course by students who have passed the midpoint in a standard introduction to New Testament Greek, this workbook can also be used for individual study and review.
