This is a great resource for anyone who has a good knowledge of New Testament Greek and wants a copy of the New Testament in Greek. This is NOT an interlinear (first line in Greek, second line a literal English translation); the Greek text here remains un-translated. However, the NIV and NRSV translations appear to the left and right of the block of Greek text, which is the United Bible Societies' 4th edition. This is the best critical text available. The alternate textual readings appear in the Greek text only if they are found in the footnotes of the NIV and/or NRSV. So, every alternate reading may not be present in this Greek New Testament. Overall, this is a very useful book, and as a student of the Greek language, I have used it many times.

This is a great resource for personal study. I am glad that i own it. In my opinion, it has one significant flaw: it has no dictionary. I wish I could look up what some of the salient Greek verbs mean at the back without always having to run and find my huge lexicon or thumb through the back of my UBS 3rd edition GNT. But this minor quibble aside, it is a nice resource because it beats having to pull 3 separate Bibles off of the shelf.
