Introduction 5
Such has been the testimony of many Bible expositors. What they
thought was the teaching of a certain passage based on their own theo-
logical bias and a careful reading of the English text was not really what
the text said after they laid it out in a grammatical diagram. Admittedly
the grammatical analysis is not a 100% answer to all the problems one
encounters in determining the exact message of any Scripture passage or
text. However, if one is going to be an expositor of the word, it is a
mojor step in that direction. This step is vital in understanding the rela
tionship of words and phrases to one another.
What is true of preparation to preach is also true of preaching. Gram-
matical analysis is dennitely related to the subject of communication.

8 INTRODUCTION
No coach can teach strategy without some visual aid on which he dia-
grams his plays for his players to see. By the means of design, a player can
view what every member of the team is doing when a select play is called.
This same technique is used to help students master grammatical analy-
sis. By means of a diagram, one can obsen/e what every word of a sen-
tence contributes to the understanding oF the whole thought.'z4
