I did not realize that this version has a much larger print than the Hardback edition (1985) of Green's Interlinear Bible. So it is very readable, the font is large and the strong numbers are not a problem any longer. Also the print of the English words has been improved, as well of the Greek words. Green's interlinear used to be superior by the original text it uses (not liberal) and its excellent translation. Now with these typographical improvements (readability of fonts..., etc.) it seems to be unbeatable!

If you're skeptic about the Bible's "gospel" truth because of man's faults and the many translations out there, then this Bible may help. This gives the Greek version with a literal word for word translation right under the Greek words. It also has a literal translation column on the left with the words in gramatically correct order for the English Language, and the KJV version in the right hand column. I think you'd be suprised how close the translations are!

This Bible also enables you to do in depth studies, like the famous "fear" study. This Bible will make it clear to you what is really meant when it says "fear God," or "fear not."

Of course, it's good just to look up those passages that you're really not sure what they mean. The literal translation may actually make it clearer for you.

I highly recommend this book for anyone who doesn't know Greek, but wants to know more about the Bible, it's translations, and do in depth studies. It's a great personal growth tool.

Mr.Green's work here is a very useful tool when doing Bible study,especially while studying and learning the New Testament greek as I currently am. Having it coded with the Strong's concordance is an added bonus to his well interpreted sciptural work. I am especially pleased with the pocket version and never leave home without it. Go with God!

This paperback edition is a valuable part of my materials for study of God's Word. The Strong's numbers above each word, coupled with a Strong's dictionary of Bible words makes for more complete study. The fact that it is now in paperback makes it easy to take along anywhere. The one volume old and new testamant was too large to take on short trips. This is a wonderful addition to anyone's Christian library.

The set is highly suggested and extremely useful. It has, in the NT the KJV down the right side, Literal Translation down the left, in the middle is the greek. Beneith the greek is a translation of each word and above the greek is a number. The # can be looked up in the Strongs to see the exact meening of each word. The only PROBLEM I have with it is the OT is out of print and impossible to find.

The Interlinear Greek -English New Testament by Jay P. Green Sr. is a valuable study tool in any Christian's library. Easy to read and compare verses...and each word has corresponding Strong's numbers! A must for the dedicated bible student to seek deeper for the truth in translations.

With all the skeptics, and College professors that think they know greek, this is essential. Not all of us have time to Go to school and learn Greek, but given the right tools we can check up on people who talk about it. Add to this an exaustive Strong's concordance and some practice and you're set to argue with the scholars. I use it all the time.

Perfect combination.
Original Greek Textus Receptus word for word with a great eay to read font.
English translations word for word underneath.
Strong's numbers word for word.
King James KJV authorised version.
Literal translation.

perfect combination!

KJV and Textus Receptus I truly beleive to be the God authorised and of all the others the most accurate.

When we read any English translation of the Bible, we are subjected to the thoughts of the translator. This may lead us to make decisions about the Bible that are contrary to what the Bible actually says. That's where this book comes in... in it, we can see the actual words of the authors, as well as the KJV and a literal translation. It also contains all the Strong's concordance numbers for each word. Everything you need to gain an in-depth understanding of the Word of God, without the thoughts of a translator. This should be in the library of anyone who seriously wants to understand the New Testament.

Brother Jay P. Green, Sr.'s "Interlinear Greek-English New Testament" is very helpful, IMHO.

Also, as another reviewer rightly notes, it has the Authorised Version down the right side, literal translation down the left side. While the Greek is in the middle. Beneath the Greek is a translation of each word and above the Greek is a number. The number can be looked up in Strong's Concordance to see the exact meaning of each word.

Lastly, I just want to say that I too take issue with the bad review titled "Bad textual choice, bad introduction" by the reviewer who did not leave a name. Though I need not offer a rebuttal since a Mr. Scott Adams has already did a good job in that area.

Soli Deo Gloria!
