Most people get their first, tantalizing taste of Greek when they hear their pastor talk about the meaning of a
Greek word. They hear that the Greek language has three or four words for love, and learn that agapao and phileo
have different shades of meaning. And before long, they wonder, "How can I find out more about the meaning of other
Greek words?"
Word study is relatively simple and you can learn the basic principles in a short time.
This section of the Ezra Project site contains the information that will help you get started. First,
you will read a series of articles that will explain how to discover information about Greek words, and how to think accurately
about the facts you find. Second, you will find a list of links and printed resources that will take
you to the most useful tools for advanced study.
The information in this section will help you understand the procedure
and the tools that your pastor uses to study the Greek New Testament.
