For more than ten centuries. Koine Greek was the everyday commercial and cultural language of the Mediterranean world. It is best-known, though, for being the language in which the New Testament was composed.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMany Christians have the desire to read the New Testament in its original language. Unfortunately, books that introduce the student to New Testament Greek either tend to be long-winded, or overly simplified, or both. In this book, legendary scholar of biblical Greek, the late Frank Gignac provides a straight-forward “just the facts” approach to the subject. In fifteen lessons, he presents the basics of the grammar and the vocabulary essential for reading the Gospels in the original language. All the reader need do is to supply the desire to learn. As Gignac writes, “Good luck as you begin to learn another language! It may be sheer drudgery for a while, but the thrill will come when you begin to read the New Testament in the language in which it was written.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis revised edition features a new preface from the author, a foreword from fellow classicist Frank Matera, and an answer guide to the problems presented in the exercises. The book thus can be used for selfstudyfor those who seek to learn the language of the early church.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55091477184886,"sku":"9780813227832","price":19.47,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_29663249.jpg?v=1734453667","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9780813227832-an-introductory-new-testament-greek","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
