What is the book about?
This is a guide for New Testament readers in Greek. It is not any guide but a tool that helps us to get closer to the text clearly. The work presents us: readings assigned for the year, analysis of words in the books of the New Testament Greek.
Some of the works cited are:
- BDAG Bauer Danker, Arndt and Gingrich. A Greek-English Lexicon of the New Testamento and Other Early Christian Literature
- BDF Blass, Debrunner, and Funk. A Greek Grammar of the New Testament and Other Early Christian Literature.
Personal opinion
This book is a great tool to know our New Testament in Greek. It will be very useful, for those who have an intermediate knowledge of Greek. Personally, I do not suggest this book for people who do not yet know Greek, because they could not take full advantage of this tool. In short, it is a good book for our study and therefore to preach the word of God.
