Title: Probably THE best book for the casual student
Review: If you're a Christian who wants to learn a little Greek, this would be the perfect book to use. It doesn't overwhelm the reader with rules and paradigms but gives brief, straightforward explanations followed by LOTS of exercises. Most of the exercises are in columns with the Greek on the left and the English on the right making it simple to cover the answer while you translate, then check your answer immediately. In later chapters, Greek quotes from the New Testament are used in the exercises.One of the problems with this book is that some of the exercises refer you to the Greek New Testament (GNT) which means you'll have to buy a GNT to complete those exercises. Also, some of the longer translations don't have an answer key.Finally, if you want to become a serious Greek student, you'd probably want something a little more thorough than this.
