Reading Koine Greek

An Introduction and Integrated Workbook.
This in-depth yet student-friendly introduction to Koine Greek provides a full
grounding in Greek grammar, while starting to build skill in the use of
exegetical tools. The approach, informed by twenty-five years of classroom
teaching, emphasizes reading Greek for comprehension as opposed to merely
translating it. The workbook is integrated into the textbook, with exercises
appearing within each chapter rather than pushed to the end or located in a
separate book. This enables students to practice concepts as they encounter
them in the chapter - ideal for distance learning or studying beyond the
traditional classroom.
The book covers not only New Testament Greek but also the wider range of
Bible-related Greek (LXX and other Koine texts). It introduces students to
reference tools for biblical Greek, includes tips on learning, and is
supplemented by robust web-based resources through Baker Academic's Textbook
eSources. Resources for students include flash cards and audio files. Resources
for professors include a test bank and an instructor's manual.
Reading Koine Greek is readable and user friendly yet remarkably " sophisticated linguistically. Students learn not just forms and paradigms but,
far more important, how language works and how the text as a whole functions as
a communicative event. Students will also benefit from the hands-on workbook
approach, which teaches by using Greek examples from the New Testament, the
Septuagint, and other Koine texts. This is a pedagogically effective, accurate,
and comprehensive text. - Mark L. Strauss"
