This is an old tried-and-true classic. The typeface is ugly, but the information is accurate and lucid. Rule page references and further discussions of the rules is very helpful. It is impossible to give all permutations of each translation, but where practical, Thompson makes notes on variations in the way a sentence can be translated. I have used it for years for myself and for my students.

The study guide is a great help in grasoning the information from the text. Howver, it does take a little time to coordinate the textbook to the workbook.

Found this on Amazon after many dead ends from bookstores and Greek language sites.Great Machen Greek study guide. Great service.

The academic content is well done, and irreplaceable to me. This is the ONLY reason it got 5 stars. I could wish that someone would take the time to redo the fonts, since this was typeset sometime back in the pleistocene period, before there was desktop publishing. The book itself looks like it was produced on an office copier in the back room of a warehouse. For the price you pay, I would expect a little more professionalism.

This book is exactly what I wanted - a clear and concise primer for Biblical Greek grammar.
