This is a 2-cent book, priced just two cents above the minimum price Amazon's Direct Publishing tool allows. It selects, arranges, and reformats out-of-copyright texts to make a new and useful study tool for students of Attic and Koine Greek.
Reading the New Testament in its original Greek is deeply rewarding but famously difficult.
The Gospel of Matthew, Gentle Greek Reader
makes the gospel accessible to intermediate and advanced-beginner students of Koine Greek.
This three-in-one volume includes
1. In the scholarly tradition of classical literature, the
full text of the Greek gospel, with an English translation on the facing page.
2.
A separate and complete Greek-English interlinear
of the same text. When you want the in-context definition of a particular word, or help puzzling out an unfamiliar Greek construction, this section serves as a handy dictionary and syntax unraveler. These pages were developed from a scan of a scholarly work in the public domain.
3. When the Greek text prompts you to refresh your memory of, say, athematic middle perfect verb forms, the short
reference grammar
at the back of the book is there to help.
This Gentle Greek Reader is not only fun to read, it will help you transition from grammar rules to reading comprehension. You will learn to read Greek fluently by reading Greek a lot.
The interlinear section of this volume includes a first generation scan of a book printed in the 1890s. These pages reproduce the slurring, dropout and other printing artifacts of the original.
