| High cost-performanceIt is very helpful for me to study classical Greek.
"All the Greek Verbs" is also useful when I search a verb form.
poor sellerI never received this item. I ordered it over a month ago and no word on Amazon refunding my $40 either
Greek GrammarHerbert Weir Smyth's grammar book for the New Testament language is the top of the line for learning the many wonderful things that are happening in the Koine Greek. The book is probably for the intermediate and beyond student, but, you might as well start learning the nuances of Greek from the beginning. I have not looked at A. T. Robertson's grammar, which many look at as being the best of the complete grammars and not just the books that are meant for first year Greek students, but I can't see that his would be any more complete than Smyth's. You will learn the morphological changes that are happening, the history of the etymological changes in the words, and just a plethora of knowledge of this beautiful language that is so important to our understanding of God's word. If you really want to be a complete student of the Koine language, this book is for you. If you want the basics and a fast way to get up to speed on reading the NT text in Greek, then you might want to go with David A. Black's book or William Mounce's book on the basic principles of the Koine Greek.
One of the best Greek grammars!This is an excellent Greek grammar, but only for the
advanced! Except for Koine Greek, you will find about
everything there.
Comprehensive but totally overwhelmingSince most of you are probably required to buy this for class like me, this review may not be the most useful. But anyone thinking of buying this should know that it has every possible bit of information about Ancient Greek--and every tidbit, every little comment, is numbered. This means the student ends up reading a chapter, say, on verb stems, and reading numbers 1024 to 1112. Since the data is so organized, you'd think it's an easy reference, but no. If you're looking for something specific, it'll take some wading through numbers and symbols. Whatever you want is definitely in there--it just might take some time to find it.
