Editorial Review:
The best-selling and most widely accepted New Testament Greek textbook has just gotten better. The author has made the book more user-friendly and offers options to professors, particularly enabling them to introduce Greek verbs earlier as well as offering some made-up sentences to challenge the students.

Solid if not earthshattering...:
I am not a Greek scholar. I am not a Greek grammar enthusiast. I am merely a seminary student plowing my way through beginning Greek grammar, and this was the textbook assigned to my first two classes. I have used no other Greek grammar resources, so I have no point of comparison. My impressions of this textbook are mostly positive.

I simply cannot recommend this text highly enough. The workbook, flash cards and vocabulary CD are great adjuncts to the... more info Good Book for reason I purchased:
I purchased the book to help with Bible translation work. It is a reasonable resource for this type of work. As with all things there is no easy substitute for hard work.

There is a lot of reading, memorizing and studying. You also have to have an extensive understanding of the grammar of your mother tongue. Similar Products:
