4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Introduction to New Testament Greek, September 6, 2002

By	E. H. McGowin (Texas) - See all my reviews

As a first year Greek student, I found Mounce's large tome on Introductory Greek, with its verbosity and endless depth, to be extremely intimidating. In my opinion, Black avoids such stumbling blocks for the new Greek student, while offering many outlets and resources for the more advanced student as well. Although there were several places in which my own brilliant Greek professor (Dr. Roy Metts) had to adjust and/or replace Black's instruction (e.g., Black's classification system for Third Declension Nouns is somewhat cumbersome), my opinion of this text remains positive and I would highly recommend it to anyone interested in learning the basics of biblical Greek.
(P.S. Broadman and Holman's printing company did a terrible job in the binding of this book. Almost everyone I know who owns this book has had the pages separate from the binding within a few months. Be prepared to glue it back together!)

5.0 out of 5 stars Easy to understand, August 9, 2000

By A Customer

For anyone who is tring to learn Greek but is not already a linguistics expert this book is written for you. It divides the language into easy to swallow lessons that gradualy brings you through an introductory course. rather than learning everything about one area of the language before moving on it teaches you enough to get to the next lesson and pretty soon you can write simple sentances. from there he goes back and equips you with more vocab and a better understandign of grammer so that your sentances can get more and more complex.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent introduction to NT Greek, December 3, 1999

By	Timothy M Gennette (Madison, CT) - See all my reviews

David Alan Black's "Learn to Read New Testament Greek" is a very clearly written introduction to NT Greek. It's excellent for anyone (like myself) who is learning NT Greek without the benefit of formal classroom instruction.
