Synopsis

For courses in New Testament Greek.

This textbook is intended primarily for students who are beginning the study of the Greek Testament without any previous knowledge with the Greek language. This revision retains much of the character and organization of the first edition while accommodating students today who lack an understanding of Latin and grammar necessary for fully comprehending the original edition.

About this title

From the Back Cover:

J. Gresham Machen's classic manual for students in biblical studies has been carefully revised and updated by Dan G. McCartney who holds the same academic appointment at Westminster Theological Seminary that Machen himself once held. Students who have no prior understanding of the Greek language will find this new edition eminently readable and valuable in their study of scripture.
