Just for your information: there is nothing out so good as Wallace's Greek Grammar
Beyond the Basics when it comes to Granville Sharp's Rule, Colwel's Rule, and the
deity of Christ based on Greek grammar--period! Dan Wallace did his doctoral
dissertation on Granville Sharp's Rule--it is a work of art and about 350 pages of
dissertation that is just about as good as dissertations get.
