The elements of New Testament Greek

Jeremy Duff

Book - 2005

Learning Greek is a journey of many steps. In this book each of these steps is explained clearly, and reviewed using questions and exercises. Lessons are ordered so the most important aspects of Greek are learned first and the vocabulary consists of the most commonly occurring words in the New Testament. Hundreds of examples cover every book of the New Testament and there is a New Testament passage to translate in almost every chapter. An audio CD containing vocabulary lists, reading passages and paradigms is also available to accompany this book. Free software and teaching resources are also available at the book's website. --From publisher's description.

"Since 1914 Cambridge has published The Elements of New Testament Greek, a best-selling textbook for scholars and students of the Bible. The original book by H. P. V. Nunn was replaced and succeeded in 1965 by J. W. Wenham's book of the same title; now Jeremy Duff has produced a new book to continue this long-established tradition into the twenty-first century. This pack contains that book and an acompanying audio CD set." "The book provides a step-by-step approach to learning Greek with each step clearly explained and reviewed using practice questions and exercises. Lessons are ordered so that the most important aspects of Greek are learnt first and the vocabulary consists of the most commonly occurring words in the New Testament. The CDs contain vocabulary lists, reading passages and paradigms from the book, read aloud to enable students to reinforce their familiarity with the Greek alphabet and the sound of the Greek words."--BOOK JACKET.
