An Introduction to the Study of the New Testament Greek

Swetnam, James “Subsidia Biblica” 16 1998 2revised ed., pp. LIV-802 The present work is designed primarily for students who are constrained by circumstances to begin the study of New Testament Greek without the aid of a teacher. The two volumes presume that the beginner knows nothing about the Greek language, and little or nothing about traditional categories of grammar which come from the Greco-Latin heritage. These traditional categories are explained as the Greek of the New Testament is introduced. An elaborate system of indices and lists has been worked out to enable the student to see how morphological forms and vocabulary words fit into the language as a whole. James Swetnam. S. J., has been teaching introductory New Testament Greek for more than thirty years at the Pontifical Biblical Institute in Rome.
