5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent resource for Biblical Greek, June 13, 2000

By

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Classic Wenham!, October 10, 2003

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.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not the best one to get, January 10, 2003

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.
