About this title

From the Back Cover:

This comprehensive guide uses a highly effective teaching method to introduce students to New Testament Greek and get them into the Greek text quickly. Students from around the world have experienced the effectiveness of this method. Learn New Testament Greek provides all the basics of a beginning grammar. In addition, it includes a wealth of reading and translation exercises and activities, helpful grammatical resources, accented Greek text, and a Scripture index.

The material can be used with equal ease in:

· an intensive six-week course
· a part-time extension module
· a regular academic language program
· self study, possibly with a mentor

"Dobson's text is quite accessible to the self-taught student. There are extensive translation exercises with the answers on the right side of the page (which makes checking one's progress a simple matter). There are progress tests with answers in the back. . . . For a person learning on their own, or intimidated by grammar, or looking for a tasty introduction, it may fit the bill nicely."
--Charles K. Telfer, Mid-America Journal of Theology

"Greek teachers who employ the classic method of teaching Greek--using ending charts and paradigms--can benefit from using exercises from this book as well as Dobson's clever Word Fun sections. . . . Dobson gives a good emphasis on translating the meaning of the Greek phrase or sentence rather than striving for a simple word-for-word correspondence. . . . His hints for teaching biblical languages are insightful and helpful."
--James R. Wicker, Southwestern Journal of Theology
