Description
The Greek New Testament Study Bible provides you with access to the insights into the Greek text from some of the world's leading scholars, while encouraging and assisting you in the use of your Greek reading skills for sermon preparation, devotional study, and New Testament courses. If you sense you are losing your competence in Greek because of the passage of time or the pressures of ministry, yet you desire to study the text in Greek for preaching, teaching, and personal study, then The Greek New Testament Study Bible will help.
In one convenient volume, you get access to the full Greek text as it is found in the Reader's Greek New Testament. At the bottom of each page of Greek text you will find a list of infrequently occurring words with short definitions, which means you don't need to consult a separate lexicon for basic translation work. Right page notes identify key areas of grammar and syntax pertinent to the text under consideration, including insights into the use or absence of articles; particular lexemes; connectives; prepositions; pronouns, adverbs, and particles; verbal aspect; voice; questions; case; discourse analysis; prohibitions; the use of the imperative, subjunctive, and infinitive moods; and important textual variants.
The Greek New Testament Study Bible will:
- Give you competence and confidence in your handling of the Greek text
- Enable you to make exegetical decisions based on the Greek text, grammar, and syntax
- Equip you to continue using your knowledge of the Greek language beyond seminary in pastoral ministry and devotional studies

Praise for The Greek New Testament Study Bible
"For many years, my students have benefitted from using A Reader’s Greek New Testament that glosses rare vocabulary at the bottom of each page. While helpful, readers often still encountered grammatical hurdles that stalled their progress. This volume provides the missing link. By offering expert commentary on syntax and grammar on the right-side page, it enables the reader to read through the text with much more proficiency. I am excited about this volume and will commend it to anyone who wishes to pursue reading through the New Testament with greater comprehension and ease."
—CLINTON E. ARNOLD, Research Professor of New Testament, Talbot School of Theology (Biola University)
"What a wonderful resource for students of the language of the New Testament! This unique resource can help anyone who has embarked on learning Greek to read with more facility. The notes are wide-ranging, guiding the user into deeper language learning and helping them to consider their interpretive options. I wish I would have had access to the Greek New Testament Study Bible when I was a seminary student."
—JEANNINE K. BROWN, The David Price Professor of Biblical and Theological Foundations, Bethel Seminary, Saint Paul, Minnesota
"This Greek New Testament Study Bible is an extraordinary achievement that will be of tremendous help to students, pastors, and all who have at least a year of Greek under their belt. Constantine Campbell and the international team of scholars are to be commended for producing an aid that will undoubtedly result not only in seeing many more people continue to read their Greek New Testament on a regular basis but also in seeing them grow in their understanding of the Greek language and most importantly, of the Scriptures and of the God revealed within them."
—ROY E. CIAMPA, Professor Emeritus, Samford University
"Too many pastors and teachers spend countless hours studying Greek in school only to forget most of it within a few years. While there are many tools and resources to help prevent this, there is nothing quite like the Greek New Testament Study Bible. The study notes are a treasure trove of helpful information on grammar, syntax, textual variants, and word usage that highlight key features of the Greek text. If you want to keep your Greek fresh and use it profitably, this is the tool for you."
—MATTHEW S. HARMON, Professor of New Testament Studies, Grace Theological Seminary
"The Greek New Testament Study Bible is a valuable resource for anyone interested in becoming a better reader of the GNT. Combining A Reader’s Greek New Testament, 4th ed., with syntactical and grammatical notes on facing pages, it provides a convenient and concise reference for readers of the Greek text. The notes give access to a full complement of NT scholars. Essential for students working to master NT Greek, it will also prove handy for the Greek professor and scholars working with the Greek text."
—KAREN H. JOBES, Gerald F. Hawthorne Professor Emerita of New Testament Greek and Exegesis, Wheaton College and Graduate School
"We have many great study Bibles, but this is the first one I've ever seen based on the Greek New Testament. What a unique and wonderful idea! This will be a great help for Greek students, providing vocabulary aid and simple study notes in one attractive volume."
—JONATHAN T. PENNINGTON, Professor of New Testament Interpretation, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary
"As I skimmed through The Greek New Testament Study Bible, I asked myself, “Why has no one ever created a resource like this?!” Many pastors, students, and laypersons will come to a deeper understanding of God's Word through this wonderful study Bible."
—ROBERT L. PLUMMER, Founder, DailyDoseOfGreek.com, Collin and Evelyn Aikman Professor of Biblical Studies, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary
"This outstanding new work combines an eclectic Greek New Testament, along with tools for Greek vocabulary acquisition and study notes on grammar and syntax from noted experts on their assigned texts. The Greek New Testament Study Bible is ideal for beginning and intermediate students of biblical Greek, pastors who want to avoid their language skills becoming rusty, Bible study leaders, and others with interests in reading the New Testament in its original language. The editors and contributors are to be lauded for producing such a helpful resource. Highly recommended."
—CHRISTOPHER W. SKINNER, Professor of New Testament & Early Christianity, Loyola University Chicago
"One of the greatest challenges (and frustrations) for pastors who have spent thousands of hours learning Greek while in seminary is to keep up on their Greek study through the multiple demands of pastoral ministry. Relief now comes in The Greek New Testament Study Bible, a remarkably helpful tool that combines a Reader’s Greek New Testament (the Greek text with footnote definitions for less-common Greek words) and a facing page of intermediate-level syntactical and textual notes. This format keeps the reader’s eyes always on the original Greek, expanding their knowledge of its vocabulary and syntax while complementing their use of traditional New Testament commentaries."
—MARK L. STRAUSS, University Professor of New Testament, Emeritus, Bethel Seminary of Bethel University
"Constantine Campbell and his team of scholars have provided students and pastors with an informative resource for exegesis of the Greek NT and a helpful guide to assist students of the Greek NT read Greek every day. Pastors and students who want to read consistently their Greek NT and who desire to use their Greek soon after they finish taking classes or graduate from seminary now have a resource to aid them in faithful reading, rightly dividing, and rigorously exegeting the Greek NT. The study notes, dictionary of terms, the brief lexicon, and other Greek features will be helpful to readers."
—JARVIS J. WILLIAMS, Professor of New Testament Interpretation, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary
