Books with author David Blackman

An academic staple updated for the first time in fifteen years, David Alan Black's user-friendly introduction to New Testament Greek keeps discussion of grammar as non-technical as possible. The simplified explanations, basic vocabularies, and abundant exercises are designed to prepare the student for subsequent practical courses in exegesis, while the linguistic emphasis lays the groundwork for later courses in grammar. Revisions to this third edition include updated discussions and scholarship, further back matter vocabulary references, and additional appendices."A streamlined introductory grammar that will prove popular in the classroom."—Murray J. Harris, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School"Clear charts, clear examples, clear discussion—what more could one want from a beginning grammar!"—Darrell L. Bock, Dallas Theological Seminary" . . . combines the strengths of a fairly traditional sequence of topics, in generally manageable chunks with clear explanations fully abreast of modern linguistics."—Craig L. Blomberg, Denver Seminary"Pedagogically conceived, linguistically informed, hermeneutically sensitive, biblically focused—unique among beginning grammars. It sets a new standard."—Robert Yarbrough, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School

As any sailor knows, life at sea is hazardous under even normal circumstances. In times of war with an enemy intent on killing and sinking you it is infinitely more so.

Many were the result of enemy action, others (too many) straight human error and the remainder were caused by act of God, not least the weather.
