This book will fill a gap in the current resources available to students of the Confessions in Latin. The scope, method, and intended readership will align not only in college Latin classrooms, but also by high school students who have completed their study of elementary Latin grammar; or by any non-specialist who would benefit from generous lexical and grammatical help in a first attempt to read the Confessions in Latin. Greek and Latin philology and classical education have long privileged classical pagan authors to the neglect of early Christian ones. This lack of attention is felt most keenly at the level of aids for intermediate students. While the Classics profession has begun to shift towards greater inclusion of Late Antique and early Christian authors, at least at the level of scholarly activity, the provision of corresponding aids for Classics students lags behind. The current AP Latin syllabus is a case in point: No opportunity is offered for the study of authors whose works comprise an enormous portion of the corpus of Latin literature and were, arguably, no less seminal to medieval and modern culture than the works of Virgil and Caesar.This book will thus serve as a vital educational tool for all persons engaged in studying and teaching the Confessions in Latin.

Reading Greek with Jonah gives beginners the opportunity to engage directly with a work of ancient literature in their first year of Greek. It takes as its subject and parameters the Septuagint translation of the book of Jonah, using a core vocabulary of fewer than three hundred words and introducing grammar and syntax through readings quoted or adapted from Jonah and other books of the Greek Bible.The foundational grammar of Ancient Greek is presented in traditional terms, but in an original sequence intended to minimize difficulties in learning new word forms and grammatical concepts. No prior knowledge of Greek is assumed. The principles of verb conjugation, noun declension, and tense formation are illustrated through sentences and short readings of gradually increasing complexity. Repetition of vocabulary an-Coud sentence structures throughout the lessons aids in building memory and comprehension.Once they have encountered the essential grammar and vocabulary, students can read the book of Jonah with the help of the included lexicon and notes on advanced grammatical topics. An anthology of forty passages from the Septuagint and the New Testament provides opportunities for further reading and additional context for the language and themes of Jonah.Suitable for classroom use or for independent study, Reading Greek with Jonah may serve as a standalone Greek course or as the first in a sequence, to be followed by additional grammar study or an intermediate reader in Koine, Attic, or Homeric Greek.
