New Testament Greek Guidebook
 |
Description
Book Introduction
“The New Testament Greek is no longer a challenge, but a vivid experience.”
“When the original text is opened, the Word appears in a whole new light.”
From core basic grammar to syntax, this practical guide to Greek was written to aid in reading the New Testament. It is not a simple grammar textbook, but a guidebook that organizes key structures and syntax rules for readers who want to read and understand the original text of the Bible.
It helps New Testament Greek learners see the big picture of the entire system and then dive into the details where necessary.
It is useful for both seminarians and pastors who have already studied Greek but whose memory has become hazy, and for laypeople who want to begin studying the original text of the Bible.
The author emphasizes that “the experience of reading the New Testament Greek in its original text provides a vivid impression that cannot be obtained by reading only the translation.”
Just as seeing a tiger in a picture book is completely different from going to a zoo and seeing a live tiger in person, reading the original text directly allows you to experience the words coming to life and vividly.
This book goes beyond simple grammar theory and provides examples of original text readings, demonstrating concrete ways to actually read and interpret the New Testament text.
This allows readers to directly experience the nuances of the original Greek text and gain deeper insight into their sermons and Bible studies.

Into the book
To properly master the basic grammar of New Testament Greek, you need to choose a textbook that suits you from the list of “References for Learning New Testament Greek” at the end of this book, and steadily learn basic grammar by solving practice problems step by step.
This 'guidebook' was created to meet the needs of those who have learned basic grammar at least once in the past but need to read the original text of the New Testament in situations where they cannot remember the content.
Additionally, “Appendix 1” is included at the end of Part 1, which explains and explains how to use the “Verbal Aspects” regarding the tense of Greek verbs, which have been recently discussed.
Just as conventional theories about Greek verbs are not absolute, new theories need not obscure the validity of previous ones.
As sufficient discussion and verification are still required, it should be utilized in an appropriate and reasonable manner.
Finally, after introducing Part 2, “Rules of Syntactic,” we included reading commentaries on two New Testament passages in “Appendix 2” to illustrate the “practice of reading New Testament Greek.”

Publisher's Review
For anyone who wants to seriously interpret or preach the New Testament, New Testament Greek is a mountain that must be overcome.
Nowadays, there are many tools available to help you interpret the original language of the Bible.
However, even if you want to use such tools, you need a basic understanding of Greek grammar and syntax.
Because you need to know for yourself how to understand and handle the information you find.
So, the problem with learning New Testament Greek grammar is that it's so easy to forget it that you can even get confused about the alphabet after a short while.
Of course.
Because Greek is not a language we use all the time.
Moreover, when trying to read the original text of the New Testament, basic grammar knowledge alone is not enough.
Some explanations of syntax are needed.
However, there are not many books that are suitable for filling such needs, and there are also aspects that are difficult to access.
This book is the result of an attempt to fill these needs.
This book is not your typical basic Greek grammar book.
This guidebook introduces basic New Testament Greek grammar by showing the entire mountain from the summit, rather than climbing from the bottom to the top, like a mountain climbing metaphor.
It was also created to serve as a helpful guide to keep by your side and refer to frequently when you want to read the original New Testament text accurately and richly by organizing and explaining the detailed rules of syntax.
This guidebook provides readers with a comprehensive overview of basic New Testament Greek grammar and teaches them how to identify clues for syntactic help when reading the original New Testament text.
This book also provides guidance on how to understand and utilize relatively recently proposed new theories of Greek verbs.
It also includes examples of actual Greek reading, helping you improve your ability to read original texts beyond theoretical study.
