Product Description

An ideal study guide for pastors who never had the chance to
take a Greek class; students who are just beginning their Greek studies;
and laypeople who simply want a stronger understanding of the biblical
language. Basic Greek in 30 Minutes a Day is a workbook designed for people
who don't have the time or opportunity to attend a biblical Greek-language
college course but desire a working knowledge of the Greek language. It can
also be a valuable asset as preparation for a Greek academic course. This
easy-to-follow guide, created by James Found and Professor Bruce Olson,
will teach you the Greek alphabet and have you pronouncing Greek words
fluently in just a short time. You'll learn the basic outlines of Greek
grammar as well as hundreds of New Testament words. The material is
presented so simply that you'll begin reading Greek on the very first day!
This self-taught course has proven successful for more than two decades.

Customer Reviews

Used at CTS Ft. Wayne!
I'll write a longer review of this book later, but it's been adopted by some professors at CTS Ft. Wayne. Use at such an academic institution is a recommendation all by itself!

Not What You Might Think
I bought this book believing it to be, as the synopsis says, a "workbook is for the one who may not have either the time or the opportunity for a formal, college-level Greek course. As an introduction to Greek, it is also valuable preparation for a standard academic course."

Well, not exactly. It's a workbook for learning the New Testament in Greek. If that's what you're looking for, it may be fine, but it isn't as described. (The 3 stars are irrelevant; I didn't read it. Hey, Amazon, how about a "not applicable" for the number of stars?)
