Book Reviews of A Primer of Biblical Greek with CD
Book Review: Very Good Introduction Study to Biblical Greek
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought the book a short time ago. I strongly recommend it
It was perfect for me not having any background in languages or linguistics. The subject matter is not easy no matter how it is taught but Croy's book gives you chance to really enjoy learning greek while not being overly intimidated by it. Greek is quite sophisicated and the memory work is intense, and it takes a lot of practice and determination to get a handle on it. With this tho, the book was most encouraging, i have tried other texts but they made the subject pretty dry. This has a more personal touch to it. The exercises do not have translations but this is not necessary since most want to refer to their own favorite versions anyway... also when the translation is not there it more exciting when you can read the greek without the translation there next to it.
This book opened a great and exciting adventure for me

Book Review: An excellent tool for students and teachers
Summary: 5 Stars
Croy's book not only is extremely useful but manifests a latent charm and humor (in the exercises). I have taught NT Greek for over 30 years and this is the best primer on the market. It gets students right into the biblical texts with sentences from the LXX and the NT. The exercises are pertinent, challenging, and able to be accomplished by the students even on their own. Croy does not fuss with syntactical or grammatical issues that lie beyond the ken of the NT. At the same time he presents material at an appropriate pace and builds in a rather straighforward manner. I very much appreciate the layout of the book -- the wide margins give a spacious impression; very important for beginning students who feel the optical issue of "different letters" and the psychological intimidation of a book that crams so much into so little space. It is, in short, a remarkable book.
Book Review: Succinct and clear!
Summary: 5 Stars
Clayton Croy has assembled a clear, succinct, and concise Biblical Greek textbook for first-year students. The book is truly a primer, as it strikes the right balance between clarity of thought and avoidance of minutiae. I read this book first, as it is easily understood.
For one that teaches Sunday Bible Class, as well as a weekly adult Bible course, I have added this book to my other favorites: Mounce, Zerwick, and Hansen & Quinn. Another advantage of this book is that it includes passages from the Septuagint. The book has multiple appendices, and recently a CD has been added that provides the majority of the answers to the extensive exercises, as well as supplementary tables.
This text is essential to learning Biblical Greek!
