New Testament Greek

Author:
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 9780521654470
Category : Foreign Language Study
Languages : en
Pages : 232

Book Description
This book offers a selection of texts with vocabulary. Its purpose is to help readers understand and enjoy the New Testament in Greek. There are substantial excerpts from all four gospels, from Acts, and from a variety of epistles. The book is aimed at those who have been studying Greek for perhaps a year. Knowledge of the commonest word-endings and constructions is assumed, though with the help of a grammar (and English version) it should be accessible to students with less Greek than this. There is a checklist of about 350 of the commonest New Testament words. All other words are glossed as they occur. Some help with grammar is also given. Every chapter in every section is self-contained, so that readers can begin anywhere. Brief introductions draw attention to distinctive features of the various New Testament authors.

Athenaze

Publisher: Oxford University Press, USA
ISBN: 9780190607678
Category : Greek language
Languages : en
Pages : 0

Book Description
Combining the best features of traditional and modern methods, Athenaze: An Introduction to Ancient Greek 3/e, provides a unique, bestselling course of instruction that allows students to read connected Greek narrative right from the begining and guides them to the point where they can begin reading complete classical texts. Carefully designed to hold students' interest, the course begins in Book I with a fictional narrative about an Attic farmer's family placed in a precise historical context (423-431 B.C.). This narrative, interwoven with tales from mythology and the Persian Wars, gradually gives way in Book II to adapted passages from Thucydides, Plato, and Herodotuc and ultimately to excerpts of the original Greek of Bacchylides, Thucudides, and Aristophanes' Acharnians. Essays on relevant aspects of ancient Greek culture and history are also woven throughout.

Reading Koine Greek

Author: Rodney J. Decker
Publisher: Baker Academic
ISBN: 1493404105
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 761

Book Description
This in-depth yet student-friendly introduction to Koine Greek provides a full grounding in Greek grammar, while starting to build skill in the use of exegetical tools. The approach, informed by twenty-five years of classroom teaching, emphasizes reading Greek for comprehension as opposed to merely translating it. The workbook is integrated into the textbook, with exercises appearing within each chapter rather than pushed to the end or located in a separate book. This enables students to practice concepts as they encounter them in the chapter--ideal for distance learning or studying beyond the traditional classroom. The book covers not only New Testament Greek but also the wider range of Bible-related Greek (LXX and other Koine texts). It introduces students to reference tools for biblical Greek, includes tips on learning, and is supplemented by robust web-based resources through Baker Academic's Textbook eSources. Resources for students include flash cards and audio files. Resources for professors include a test bank and an instructor's manual.

Book Description
A Book-by-Book Guide to New Testament Greek Vocabulary is intended to help students, pastors, and professors who wish to read a particular book of the Bible in its original language to master the vocabulary that occurs most frequently in the book in question.

The book also includes an appendix listing difficult principal parts for selected verbs that occur in the vocabulary lists and providing other advanced notes for additional words in the lists.
