One of two introductory NT Greek textbooks I have worked through.

(The other one was Mounce’s Basics of Biblical Greek Grammar)

Compared with Mounce this one teaches more vocabulary which is good and it’s simpler/more accessible BUT I think it is weaker on grammar, ranges of meaning and how to develop a broader understanding beyond the basics.

Great textbook. Would highly recommend to anyone beginning their studies in New Testament Greek.

This is an excellent primer and the reader can certainly come out the other end of it with a good and working knowledge of NT Greek. Moreover, the book, printed by Cambrige University Press (CUP) actually holds together and can take a lot of beating, unlike so many other schoolbooks that fall to pieces and spit out important pages over time. Overall, an excellent companion to a volume of the Greek New Testament.

God help the student learning Greek with this text book. Yikes.

Great start to New Testament Greek

This was the required text for an Elementary New Testament Greek course that I took for a graduate degree. I really don't have anything to compare it to but it was certainly straight forward and provided memorization hints which was so important especially for quizzes and exams.

I'm not sure if it has an accompanying guide listing all the verb endings for all of the verbs in all of the tenses, but that would be helpful.

Highly recommended for the beginner learner!

This is overall a fantastic book to use while learning New Testament Greek - ideally with a teacher, though. The only issue I have with this book is the decision by the author to exclude nearly all of the accent marks from the Greek text - although they were absent in ancient manuscripts, they are still very useful when translating from a critical text like the Nestle-Aland or mediaeval minuscule manuscripts.

J'utilise principalement ce livre pour réviser la liste de vocabulaire qu'il fournit (les 600 ou 500 premiers mots les plus courants du Nouveau Testament grec).

Pour l'apprentissage de la langue elle-même, j'en reste à des méthodes entièrement immersives. J'essaye d'ailleurs d'apprendre plutôt que des traductions de ces 500 termes des occurrences de ceux-ci.

Anything that I got out of this book is due to Professor Paul Foster's dedication and patience. But it's a good course and I recommend it to anyone willing to put a ton of hours. As a wise man once said, learning Greek is more about time management than ancient languages.

This is the textbook for my two Greek classes. Overall, this is great, really clear and to the point. But the explanations can be a little to laconic. Full of really helpful charts and indexes in the back. The paperback is sturdy and holds up to repeated use.

This was my introductory Greek textbook, I've just used it again for revision after two years gap. Hard to make a judgement really -- seems like an honest, reliable guide to learning Greek. Probably more helpful as a teaching aid first time around than for revision.

This is an excellent introduction. I have been using a couple
Of online courses beside it.

However the book is so good I am going to re read it.

Partly due to the fact I lost the note books with all my notes from the last couple of years.

The best Greek teaching book I know of.
