Excellent Product! October 13, 2007 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This copy of the Greek New Testament has proven very helpful! I am a first year student of Biblical Greek, and this is the text that we use consistently. It is accurate, the font is easy to read, and it has helped greatly in my personal study of the scripture.
Very good, but... September 24, 2007 5 out of 5 found this review helpful
Having recently received my copy I was disappointed to see the font, or typeface, or whatever the correct term is. Up till now I have been using the Third Edition and for general reading purposes will continue to do so, since the text is changed little, if at all.
The size of the print is good, but for me it is not bold enough and my eyes don't light on it easily. The font used for quotations from the Old Testament is much clearer!
The Introduction is very helpful and I will certainly be using that and the footnotes for serious study.
The warnings from some about the limitations of the book are unwarranted. The book is called "The Greek New Testament" and that is exactly what it is, plus extra informaton. Some of the reviews seem to be discussing a different edition, since mine does not have a glossary.
Can you read Greek? I can't! But hey! This is the path to it! Yay! September 23, 2007 0 out of 5 found this review helpful
this greek new testament is great, i mean hey, the original langauge of the Bible is so much better than any translation. i love to flip through it and find my favorite verses and see if i can figure out what means what. it's great. okay bye
Excellent book in at an affordable price range August 23, 2007 3 out of 4 found this review helpful
I am a novice/self study greek student. What I love about this greek new testament is that: it's small and portable, the text is clear and easy to read, the breath marks are easily distinguished, the binding is of superior quality for the price, and it is reasonably priced for the excellent value it provides.
What I find to be a problem: the only real issue I see with this book is if your expecting a lot of help within the book itself. You will need to have a lexicon with you if you get stuck. However, since I already own a interlinear I chose to purchase this copy of the text (I heard there is another with more helps) to force myself in the future (distant future at this point) to not rely on helps within the text.
In conclusion, this is a superior product within the price range that it is listed at. I have personally looked at over a dozen greek texts, and this one is by far has the best appearance on the page (of course I was only looking at texts under fifty dollars).
review of Greek New Testament August 16, 2007 2 out of 3 found this review helpful
I am fairly pleased with this book. I bought it for study purposes so I haven't used it very much yet. It looks very nice, with a leather cover, and not too big, so it's convenient to carry around. However, I do have one reservation about it. It appears that for the purpose I am using it for, there are two main books that are generally recommended. One is called the Nestle-Aland and it is the one that people prefer if they are seriously into textual criticism. (I am quoting Keith Elliott, a New Testament scholar who is an expert on textual criticism.) The one that I bought is also popular but it is smaller. I am not familiar enough with it that it makes much difference to me right now, but I thought I would mention that, because it was hard to tell the difference from the description. So, if you are heavily into textual criticism, you apparently are going to prefer Nestle-Aland.
