The Elements of New Testament Greek

by John W. Wenham

First published in 1965, The Elements of New Testament Greek has, over the years, established itself as the standard textbook for scholars and students of the Bible.
The book is now reissued with a number of small revisions and additions, and a more substantial change concerning the recitation of the alphabet.
Otherwise, the aim of this perennially popular book remains as before: to present the elements (and only the elements) of new Testament Greek as simply, clearly, and completely as possible, so that the student may be spared all unnecessary toil, and may make rapid progress in understanding the lingua franca of the Hellenistic world.

Genres: Language, Reference, Nonfiction, Religion, Theology, Christian, Biblical

[Stephen Hayes · Rating 1 out of 5]

The decision of the author to omit accents was, in my view, a very bad one. Though the accents in Greek no longer mean what they once did, they do give a clue to where the stress goes in words, and that is one of the things that makes Greek, both ancient and modern, difficult for English-speaking people to learn. The omission makes this book almost useless.

An excellent NT Greek primer of the traditional sort, with tables and drills. I have tried to get through to the end, but banged my head against the -mi verbs which are quite different from regular verbs. Will give it another try soon.

Anyone studying Greek, this is an invaluable source. A must have college/seminary text book.

This was a book I used in addition to my ANU traditional grammar textbook. I found it really useful for New Testament Greek which does differ slightly. As my area is Near Eastern Archaeology, I found this book super useful and would 100% recommend it.
