It is easy to use. Each semantic category is discussed, and a definition and key to identification are provided.
Scores of charts and tables are included to enable the intermediate student to grasp quickly the material.
Customer Reviews
Not quite so Basic!
This book is an abridgement of the author's 'Greek Grammar Beyond the Basics.' So, why buy it in preference to the fuller work?
Good question. I'd have to answer it by saying that if you're only going to buy one, then you would do better to find the unabridged volume. It could become a lifetime friend, as it's a very excellent reference book. But it's the 'big guns.' Sometimes you need them, and sometimes you don't.
In this volume, you have a handy and concise reference of Greek syntax. It's easy to find what you're looking for, and the whole thing is short enough that (if you're really keen) you can study it from cover to cover.
Some students feel a sort of 'lostness' when they finish their first Greek grammar - they feel they should be able to pick up the New Testament and read it as if it was in their mother tongue. Disillusionment can rapidly set in at this stage, and the larger, unabridged volume could be intimidating. This version could be just what they need.
