An enduring academic favorite now updated for the first time in fifteen years, this user-friendly introduction to New Testament Greek takes the beginner from the alphabet through the noun and verb systems to the point of reading the Greek New Testament with a lexicon. David Alan Black's method is built on explaining why the language works as it does rather than on memorization alone, and the lessons are short enough to be absorbed one at a time.

The third edition adds integrated exercises drawn from the Greek New Testament itself, updated vocabulary lists ordered by frequency, and a revised presentation of the verb. Black taught Greek for decades and writes with an awareness of exactly where students stall. Widely assigned as a first-year seminary and college grammar, and workable for disciplined self-study.
