Essential Latin Grammar

I would recommend that Noet publishes Moreland and Fleischer's Intensive Latin. This is the only grammar book I've seen that works. I spent years learning Latin in college, making only limited progress, and spent a few months with this books and was sight translating Cicero by the time I finished.

The weakness is that there is no answer key (I'd be prepared to produce one--unpaid if necessary).

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll look into its availability.

Any word on this Mike? I too would love to see this resource in Logos, I was pricing a hard copy just yesterday.

Moreland & Fleischer is an excellent textbook and is already a "classic" ahead of its time.

However, in my opinion, one of the most useful Classical grammars, and the one I find myself returning to over and over, is: Sihler's New Comparative Grammar of Greek and Latin.

It's truly an extraordinary resource that plumbs the Proto-Indo-European origins of both languages to make intelligible the both the similarities and the differences and peculiarities of these two very different languages and their grammars & morphologies.

As far as I know, there really is nothing like this out there. At least nothing as up to date.

It's very technical and very advanced...but like I said one of the most useful grammar references available. And one that I should think all students of Greek and Latin would find immensely useful.

and to you, of course! Just a note to tell you that I find your Chesterton quote helpful .... it sort of evangelically focuses my spiritual mind back to the basics ... Thank you! Psalm 29:11

You quote: "“To love means loving the unlovable. To forgive means pardoning the unpardonable. Faith means believing the unbelievable. Hope means hoping when everything seems hopeless.” ~Chesterton"
