Book Description
This companion to Basics of Biblical Greek and Greek Grammar Beyond the Basics contains annotated readings from the New Testament designed for second-year students of the Greek language.
From the Back Cover
Making the leap from the basics of biblical Greek to its real-life application can be a frustrating challenge for students of intermediate Greek. A Graded Reader of Biblical Greek was developed to make the transition easier. It takes beginning exegetes from simple to progressively more difficult biblical texts. Students can now learn New Testament Greek the way they would any other language: through a graded program. A Graded Reader of Biblical Greek applies an inductive method to learning intermediate Greek grammar. It provides a workable introduction to exegesis, word studies, and developing a large vocabulary; and it assists the student in preparing for class, allowing classroom time to be put to its most effective use. - Twenty Greek passages are presented in graded order. - Difficult and unfamiliar grammatical constructions are explained. - All words that occur fewer than 20 times in the New Testament are defined. - An "Exegetical Discussion" section helps the exegete gain a deeper understanding of the language. A Graded Reader of Biblical Greek is the result of ten years of use and refinement by the author in an actual classroom setting.

Training Wheels for the New Testament,
By A Customer
This review is from: Graded Reader Of Biblical Greek Sc (Paperback)
So. You've finished first-year Greek, you've got a lexicon at your side, maybe an advanced grammar as well; what's next? Dive straight into the Greek New Testament, clutching commentaries and reference works to keep you afloat? You could...but if you'd prefer to ease your way gently into the New Testament, consider putting the Nestle-Aland back on the shelf and first working your way through this reader. Its aim is to teach how to read Greek with facility, an essential skill for accurate exegesis and interpretation. Twenty selections survey nearly all the books of the New Testament and are not altered or abridged from their sources. To aid the learner, abundant footnoting navigates the hard parts and calls attention to nuances and important details. The novel system of phrasing taught in this book is easy to understand and should help the student still mastering Greek syntax to keep up with St. Paul and his long discursive sentences. Seminary students will appreciate the sample sermon outlines that accompany the early chapters, as examples of how to turn study into instruction.This reader is meant to follow Mounce's well-received "Basics of Biblical Greek," but does not depend on it; you can come having studied from any textbook of basic Greek. It was also written to be compatible with Wallace's "Greek Grammar Beyond the Basics," but, once again, does not explicitly require it. Keep in mind that the sole purpose of this reader is for practice reading Greek, and you should not be disappointed with the contents. There are many things it does not include. It does not cover the manuscript tradition or the critical apparatus, or teach how to weigh variant readings. It does not set passages in their historical or Scriptural context, or address questions of dating and authorship. There is no treatment of stylistic differences or comparisons with non-biblical Koine. If Mounce had crammed in such information, this book would have been twice as long and probably not any more helpful. And while the readings are representative of the books of the New Testament (and Mounce usually explains in the headnotes why each passage was chosen), one should not assume that they form a mini-course in theology or represent the most canonical of the canonical. Indeed, any teacher of NT Greek could draw up a similar set of graded readings for second-year students, but with this reasonably-priced book, all the work of transcribing and annotating is already done.

Excellant for self study,
This review is from: Graded Reader Of Biblical Greek Sc (Paperback)
First work through Basics including the workbook, then A Summer Greek Reader (for practice with easy syntax and additional vocablary memorization), then this. After that read the Greek New Testament with A Reader's Lexicon to cut down on time spent thumbing through the lexicon. Start with the gospels or Acts.

Great workbook,
By Fontaine (Malakoff, France) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Graded Reader Of Biblical Greek Sc (Paperback)
Interesting passages, well annotated; good review of grammar; original methode (phrasing) to unterstand the text I think all these qualities plead for this companion to Greek Grammar beyond the Basics (and others).The format is well adapted. The difficulty is introduced step by step. I can't imagine a best way to learn Greek New Testament than in the Greek New Testament, and this the case of this recommanded book.
