A Workbook for New Testament Syntax: Companion to Basics of New Testament Syntax and Greek Grammar Beyond the Basics

by Daniel B. Wallace, Grant G. Edwards

Daniel B. Wallace's groundbreaking books Greek Grammar Beyond the Basics: An Exegetical Syntax of the New Testament and Basics of New Testament Syntax have become the standard textbooks among colleges and seminaries for teaching New Testament Greek syntax. This workbook, designed to accompany both books, presents a dynamic approach to learning Greek syntax. Instead of simply learning syntax in single-verse snippets, students are exposed to all of the major syntactical categories in exegetically and theologically significant passages.

About the author

Wallace was earned his B.A.(1975) from Biola University, and his Th.M. (1979) and Ph.D. (1995) in New Testament studies from Dallas Theological Seminary. He also pursued postdoctoral studies in a variety of places, including in Cambridge at Tyndale House, Christ's College, Clare College, and Westminster College, and in Germany at the Institute for New Testament Textual Research, University of Tübingen, and the Bavarian State Library. Wallace, along with DTS colleague Darrell L. Bock, has been an outspoken critic of the alleged "popular culture" quest to discredit conservative evangelical views of Jesus—including the writings of Elaine Pagels and Bart Ehrman.

Reviews

[Matthew Thomas]

Ahhhh, there's one workbook I am happy to see the back of. This workbook accompanies the grammar, so it was used as my assignment for class. While there's plenty of detail in the workbooks themselves, and lots of Greek to read, including vocabulary to learn, I felt like the explanations for why certain syntactical decisions were the 'correct answers' were lacking. I often wasn't clear why one answer was given in the workbook when it seemed like a construct met the requirements for multiple. Having been my first outing in intermediate Greek, I would have appreciated a little more explanation. Overall though, there's some good work here and many hours ahead for the one attempting to work through these exercises.

Engaging examples that were representative of the content discussed in the textbook. Presented in a readable format with the freedom to offer an explanation for the answers found.

[Kyle Grindberg]

Helpful, but lots of typos and answers that were just plain wrong.

A great way to work through Wallace's Greek Grammar
