Reader Reviews:

Written to teach! (6/6 people found this helpful)

This book has clearly been written by someone who understands what it is like to learn New Testament Greek. It is brilliantly put together to help the student guide himself through the material: lots of short exercises (with answers) to help you work out whether you've still got the plot, and longer exercises at the end of each chapter to put together the accumulation of what has been learned so far. Excerpts from the NT at the end of every chapter too.

You will find Jeremy Duff's (the author's) web page very helpful, including links to free software to help you learn the vocab in the book. http://www.nt-greek.net/

Superb (20/20 people found this helpful)

This book is by far the clearest introduction to N.T. Greek I have seen, especially for home study without access to a tutor. By contrast, I found Mounce utterly impenetrable.
It assumes no prior knowledge at all, and takes you right from first principles (alphabet etc), explaining grammatical terms as they arise.
The only slight point which bothers me is that the book does not give stress marks, so if you are studying at home you have no guidance as to how words sound. I find this a drawback, becuase it is easier to learn vocabulary if you can hear the words in your mind.
Very highly recommended.

The distillation of great tutorials (25/25 people found this helpful)

Having been taught by Jeremy at Oxford, I was eagerly anticipating the release of his revision of the classic 'Wenham' textbook.

I wasn't disappointed. The same clarity of thinking, logical presentation, and clear and clever explanations permeate the book as much as they did the classroom.

This is the book form of numerous handouts, scribbled examples, and the result of feedback from many students - both those who struggled and thrived as they tackled the task of learning Greek - and it shows.

It features extra material, such as an excellent parsing guide, and numerous excercises which test and stretch the student.

If you are looking for a textbook written by an experienced teacher, a textbook whose genesis was in the tuition of real students, and written by a scholar for whom New Testament Greek is not only an essential daily tool, but something which can help illuminate the understanding of the bible in the faith community, look no further.

Very highly recommended.
