Basics of Latin: A Grammar with Readings and Exercises from the Christian Tradition by Derek Cooper introduces students, independent learners, and homeschoolers to the basics of Latin grammar with all readings and exercises taken from texts in the Christian tradition.

As part of the widely-used Zondervan Language Basics series of resources, Cooper's Latin grammar is a student-friendly introduction. It helps students learn by:

Minimizing technical jargon
Providing only the information needed to learn the basics
Breaking the grammar of language down into manageable and intuitive chunks
Illustrating the grammar in question by its use in rich selections from ancient Christian authors.
Providing grammar, readings, exercises, and a lexicon all in one convenient volume.

Basics of Latin provides an ideal first step into this important language and focuses on getting the student into texts and translation as quickly as possible.

Industry Reviews

'As advertised, this book will give you the basics of the Latin language, tailored specifically to those who wish to read Christian texts, from the Latin Bible to early modernity. While not intended to make you a Ciceronianus of the kind Jerome was accused of being in somniis, Basics of Latin provides a good foundation on which students of ecclesiastical and theological Latin can build.'-- ERIC HUTCHINSON, associate professor of classics, Hillsdale College
