About this title

From the Publisher:

This textbook is intended primarily for students who are beginning the study of the Greek Testament either without any previous acquaintance with the Greek language or with an acquaintance so imperfect that a renewed course of elementary instruction is needed.

From the Back Cover:

J. Gresham Machen's classic manual for students in biblical studies has been carefully revised and updated by Dan G. McCartney who holds the same academic appointment at Westminster Theological Seminary that Machen himself once held. Students who have no prior understanding of the Greek language will find this new edition eminently readable and valuable in their study of scripture.
