Biblical Greek: A Compact Guide

by William D. Mounce

Biblical Greek: A Compact Guide offers Greek students a one-stop guide for the grammar, morphology, and vocabulary of biblical Greek. This resource follows the organization and format familiar to the hundreds of thousands of students who have used Basics of Biblical Greek Grammar in their first-year Greek courses, but it is also usable by students who learned with a different grammar. By limiting its discussion to the “nuts and bolts,” Greek language students working on translation and exegesis will more quickly and easily find the relevant grammatical refreshers.Students can, for example, check on the range of meaning for a particular word or make sure they remember how aorist participles function in a sentence. The paradigms, word lists, and basic discussions in Biblical Greek: A Compact Guide point students in the right direction and allow them to focus on more advanced Greek study.Biblical Greek: A Compact Guide will become a valuable addition to the reference library of seminary students and pastors.

Reviews

[Kenneth Moody]

Could use an update on the formatting. Will use subject headings for the first page of a morphology chart, but then doesn't use them for the rest - very annoying.

[David M.]

Not so much read once as much as constantly rereading to understand further nuance and build upon subtlety of understanding and interpretation.

[Skylar]

This is a great guide! needs a table on one page for parsing help.

[Jonathan]

A helpful little recap of the important stuff. Not for learning, but for refreshing. Can be read straight through, but more likely useful to folks as a grab-as-you-need help.
