I thought that Everyman's Greek glossed over a lot of important things, but was quite approachable.<br>

I don't know which book you mean. There is one on First John that has received interesting reviews:<br>

This is by S.M.Baugh, who seems to have wonderful things to say when he posts here, and has written some extremely interesting articles. Based on other things he has written, I get the impression he really knows how to teach. Alas, I haven't actually looked at this book...<br>

See http://metalab.unc.edu/koine for my list of resources for beginners.<br>

Greek Grammer by Mounce</blockquote><br>
Quite usable, and there are a bunch of related works such as a graded reader and a workbook. This is the most used grammar in evangelical seminaries. Not everything he says is true, and this is particularly problematic with the introductions to the chapters, which sometimes strongly imply that the Greek carries meanings that I don't personally see in those passages.<br>
<br>
<blockquote type=cite cite> New Testament Greek by Eric G. Jay (A Introductory Grammer)</blockquote><br>
Don't know this one.<br>
<br>
If you are an abstract thinker, A.K.M. Adam's grammar gives clear, concise, and true explanations of what the various grammatical forms mean. I might combine that with a text that gives more concrete explanations, or use it as a corrective to Mounce. It's always a good idea to get a second opinion anyway...<br>
<br>
<blockquote type=cite cite> Finally recomendations for College level independant study courses. Is<br>
there a institution that members would recomend a distance learning study<br>
program in Greek?</blockquote><br>
Sorry, I don't know what to recommend here.<br>
