Mastering Greek Vocabulary

by Thomas Arthur Robinson

Mastering Greek Vocabulary gives the part of speech, a breakdown of a word's elements, and, whenever possible, a helpful memory aid. With a complete index of Greek words, it also functions like a mini-lexicon. While students may be tempted to keep this resource a secret from fellow students, teachers will want to be sure it is available. "Robinson's carefully crafted learning aid is developed from years of teaching New Testament Greek successfully to undergraduate students, and reflects a practical approach to the task. The broad orientation of this work is to try to associate what is for the student the unfamiliar (Greek vocabulary) with the more familiar (English vocabulary). Previous to this work students had to develop their own memory devices for learning Greek words—with this work, Robinson has given them a much needed boost. In addition, his organization of NT vocabulary by cognate roots is a sensible step that will cause many teachers of Greek to wonder to themselves why they did not think of it!"
—Larry W. Hurtado, University of Manitoba "This is one of the most useful books that could be put into the hands of the beginning student of NT Greek."
