Mastering New Testament Greek: Essential Tools for Students Book

With CD Students of New Testament Greek face at least two major hurdles: building a working vocabulary necessary for effective exegesis, and learning to identify (parse) the plethora of grammatically fluctuating forms that appear in the biblical text. In Mastering New Testament Greek, the revised and expanded third edition of Mastering Greek Vocabulary, Thomas Robinson offers learners an inventive set of tools for meeting these challenges. At the heart of Robinson's ingenious vocabulary mastery system is the cognate group, in which Greek words are linked together according to the roots they share in common. By associating common Greek roots with the words that contain them, students are able to build a working vocabulary far more quickly than by merely learning a list of individual words. Mastering New Testament Greek provides additional vocabulary help by offering comprehensive lists of cognates, derivatives, suffixes, and prefixes that correlate Greek words with their English counterparts. Added features assist students to master common pronouns, adverbs, adjectives, and prepositions: * The Index of Greek Word Endings, an innovative feature of this expanded edition, enables Greek students to look up Greek words in reverse alphabetical order to analyze baffling grammatical forms. * Mastering New Testament Greek also comes with a CD packed with user-friendly software programs that support and expand the utilities contained in the book. * Software modules assist students in learning the Greek alphabet and vocabulary, pronouncing words, reviewing verb paradigms, and parsing difficult grammatical forms. * The software is also linked to a complete online Greek grammar. Taken together, the tools contained in Mastering New Testament Greek and in the accompanying CD form an essential learning kit that students of the language of the New Testament, from beginning to advanced, will not want to be without.Read More
