Description
A Reader's Greek New Testament: Fourth Edition is a classic and essential tool for students of biblical Greek. The Reader presents the Greek text underlying the New Internation Version alongside the English translation.
Words that appear in the New Testament fewer than thirty times are given definitions in footnotes for ease of reading, allowing students to focus on reading, comprehension, parsing, and grammatical issues. Footnotes comparing the Greek text with the critical text of USB5/NA28 are included throughout. A mini lexicon of all words occurring more than thirty times and full-color maps are included in the backmatter. The Italian Duo-Tone binding, ribbon marker, and easy-to-read Greek font make this Reader an attractive Bible for reading and study.
The new feature of this updated edition of A Reader's Greek New Testament is an "Index of the Bible's Use of the Bible" by award-winning author Gary Edward Schnittjer. The index is based on Schnittjer's careful work of Scripture's use of Scripture and lists all allusions tied directly to the Greek and Hebrew languages. Sigla inform the reader of the type of relationship between texts. This important addition sets A Reader's Greek New Testament apart from other Greek resources, promoting careful and fruitful study of the Greek New Testament and its use of the Old Testament.
