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.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent resource for Biblical Greek,
By theCardiffGiant (Philadelphia, PA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Elements of New Testament Greek (Paperback)
Wenham's classic textbook doubles as a fine grammar for the simpler Koine of biblical Greek. A very well-organized text with an introductory refresher on English Grammar, it is one of the few affordable books on the subject that you will find not only useful but satisfying to boot.The lack of accents is the only shortcoming of the text, though in fairness accents were absent in the ancient texts.

Classic Wenham!,
By Bryan Meredith (Oxford, England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Elements of New Testament Greek (Paperback)
Despite the age of this book it is still an invaluable resource for anyone studying New Testament Greek. The way in which John William Wenham presents his teaching throughout this book has, in my and many others opinions, yet to be bettered, as has this book in general. A timeless classic, just one of many in John Wenhams extraordinary back catelogue of theological, educational, spiritual and autobiographical writings.

Not the best one to get,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Elements of New Testament Greek Paperback and Audio CD Pack (Book & Tape) (Paperback)
I started out with this book, which is used by many seminaries. But I now feel that "The Basics of Biblical Greek" by William D. Mounce is a much better book. Mounce has a much better and easier to learn system. He explains many things that are left unsaid by Wenham. The diagrams are better. The software included is great. The book is more readable and enjoyable. But it's always good to have more than one intro to Greek, I just don't think Wenham should be your first, get Mounce instead.
