 Greek Reviewing February 17, 2006
13 out of 13 found this review helpful
This has proved to be an affordable, but extremely valuable study tool for Greek Grammar class. It has most everything important that's needed for quick reference. There are a few things that I would have liked to have seen on it also, but overall I was very pleased with this study tool.
Helpful for Attic & Koine ( N.T.) Greek December 26, 2007
13 out of 16 found this review helpful
This is a helpful, portable chart, more appealing & clearer to read than the Quickstudy Guide Latin chart, its opposite number. It matches the Mounce grammar books, but a much better book to learn N.T. Greek as well as an intro to Attic is:
"The Elements of New Testament Greek, Third Edition" (Book and Audio CD) by Jeremy Duff. This however does not have a companion chart, hence the need for this chart. So you might as well get it.
Great "Cheat Sheet' August 31, 2006

This is a wonderful way to quickly recall important ponts about New Testament Greek without feeling like you are cheating. It is a great reference guide that is pre-punched and fits easily into a notebook for easy and quick reference.
Greek for the Rest of Us - a great beginning into the world of the Bible November 8, 2006

As everything Bill Mounce writes (I have bought them all), this is a fine, well put-together book to introduce the main language of the New Testament to new learners. It can serve as a first step in schools/seminaries for those without any previous language exposure, as a kind of up ramp rather than a staircase. Of itself, with a lexicon (Greek/English dictionary), it will let many beginning students, clergy without Greek studies and interested laymen to read and get a basic understanding of the language in which most of the New Testamant was written. They would also be better equiped to use various word study and Bible commentaries presented in English, but which use/show the Greek words behind the English. Bill has put in a special section that concentrates on this useful area. As with others of his books, he has included PC based resources to make learning easier.
One of its other valuable aspects is the excellent review of basic grammar for those who have never seen an inflected language with its many case endings and verb tenses and moods, as Old English used to have, but which it has mostly lost. Few students have studied Latin these days (it was required in my high school and was of great use to me as a bridge to Spanish and a deeper understanding of Latin-derived English words). Older Greek texts assumed that students knew Latin and taught accordingly. Dr. Mounce does not assume this and so his book will be great way to ease into Greek, even giving the reader a better understanding of English.
In summary, this book fills the gap between a typical modern high school level of language study and the more difficult first year college/seminary beginning Greek course very well. It will allow a student who wanted more to breeze through the first months of a standard seminary Greek course, while the overview of the whole language it gives would make ongoing learning much easier. I highly recommend it as a required book for all Christian seminary students as well as for those who are trying to learn more about God's Word on their own. It will allow both a window into the language in which Christ's Words were first recorded and the start of a wonderful journey into the beautiful language of Greek. He even gives a chapter on an overview of Hebrew. I highly recommend it, as well as it logical follow-on, Basics of Biblical Greek, also by Dr. Mounce, with all of its workbooks and vocabulary guides (all on Amazon). Of the many Greek texts I have, this pair is the best for today's student. A last comment: this is a good place to start for the student of Classical Greek as well, and for the same reasons. By the way, Bill Mounce makes learning Greek (almost) fun.

It is a handy tool for reviewing, but you don't have to buy it. As he/she make progress through the first year of Greek class, one can make his own review or cheat sheets, more through than this one, focusing on the issues he/she need to learn better. Not to mention the reviewing and the systematizing work itself that can provide a great help in order to organize the Greek grammar knowledge in one's mind (using different colors and highlights, tips and tricks, and so on).
You can spend your money more wisely by buying Mounce's BBG vocabulary cards, which are really helpful (unless you decide to make your own cards...)
