La obra «Introducción al griego bíblico» responde a una fuerte necesidad sentida por todos los que han tenido la responsabilidad de formar a los futuros líderes de las iglesias. También entre los que ya son ministros se ha sentido durante mucho tiempo la necesidad de conocer con mayor precisión y profundidad los textos del Nuevo Testamento en su idioma original, el griego común o koiné. En un exitoso intento por llenar esta laguna, Ann Henriques, Nelson Morales y Daniel S. Steffen, Profesores del Seminario Teológico Centroamericano en Ciudad Guatemala, han preparado esta obra introductoria que responde con claridad y sencillez a las preguntas de siempre entre los que saben que necesitan conocer el idioma original de esta parte de las Escrituras, y al mismo tiempo no saben cómo lograrlo: Dónde y cuándo se originó el idioma griego? Por qué es importante estudiarlo? Cuáles son las dificultades a superar en el estudio de un idioma que ni siquiera utiliza el mismo alfabeto que nosotros? Cuál es la manera más práctica de estudiarlo? Los autores van resolviendo todos estos interrogantes, uno por uno. Desde el alfabeto griego hasta las declinaciones de las palabras y la conjugación de los verbos, todo es explicado de una manera asequible a quienes realmente se quieran familiarizar con este idioma. Dicho en pocas palabras, los profesores de uno de los seminarios teológicos más respetados de Iberoamérica han trabajado en equipo para presentarnos hoy esta «Introducción al griego bíblico», que muy pronto será reconocida como el mejor curso introductorio para el estudio del griego bíblico.

Rob Morgan, bestselling author of Then My Soul Sings, explores the rich meaning behind the world's best-known and most-loved poem--Psalm 23.

The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
He makes me to lie down in green pastures;
He leads me beside the still waters...

These are the opening lines to one of the most memorized, inspirational, and comforting passages in the Bible--and one of the greatest poems of all time. In six verses, it provides a microcosm of God's grace. When anxiety robs us of sleep, our most powerful "tranquilizer" is Psalm 23. It's a soul-soother. It appears in the middle of a trilogy of psalms dealing with our past, our present, and our future needs.

In The Lord is My Shepherd, Morgan teaches Psalm 23 verse-by-verse, explaining its extraordinary power to change lives and ease our troubles. He shares its fascinating context and colorful background, as well as his own charming, real-life stories of herding sheep. You'll find encouragement to enjoy the "green pastures" of life while becoming strengthened by the "dark valleys." Furthermore, Morgan maintains that some of the Bible's richest truths are summarized in these six simple verses of Psalm 23. In knowing the Good Shepherd, we have total resources for all our internal, external, and eternal needs.

Through this clear explanation of the biblical text and great stories that illustrate the love and care of the shepherd, The Lord is My Shepherd will help you rediscover the joy, inspiration, and peace in the green pastures of this beloved psalm.
