Book Reviews of A Reader's Greek New Testament: 2nd Edition
Book Review: What I have been wanting (without knowing it) for years
Summary: 5 Stars
Before I have been struggling in learning Biblical Greek, because of all the vocabulary to be learnt, and the fact that I needed to open a Greek Lexicon almost every sentence was enough to scare me away from reading the Greek New Testament.
This Reader's Greek NT has everything that makes you want to open your Greek New Testament.
First, it is beautiful, with the cover looking like real leather. It really makes you feel like you are reading one of the beautiful leather-bound english version. Zondervan's experience in publishing English Bibles really helped.
Second, the presence of the lexicon under the Greek text is the real strength of this Bible, for when you read the Greek text, you will no longer need to open a Lexicon every sentence anymore. There is no waste of time, so you can really focus on what most important: translating the Greek text and analyzing its Syntax. As a seminary student, I can use the words list under to learn all the vocabulary of the text I am reading by heart. It saves so much time, and you realize that it is in fact feasible to learn all the vocabulary of the Greek NT. How? For me I set the goal to study (translating + analyzing the syntax) a new chapter every week and to learn all its vocabulary which is located under the Greek text).
Third, I hated the presence of the critical apparatus in the UBS and NA versions. For although Textual Criticism has its importance, this importance is really overstated. What a student of the Greek NT really wants is to get the ability to read the NT in Greek, and not do Textual Criticism.
Of course you need to have both (Reader + NA27 or UBS4) but you need to have a develop a good ability to read the Greek text (by using this Reader's Greek NT) before Textual Criticism can become useful to you.
And concerning your fears that the text might be too different from the NA27 text, do not fear. For the differences are not so many, and when there are some, this text gives a footnote giving the NA27 version.
The other negative things I could say is that the font of the Greek text should be a little more bold to be more readable. And also I would have like to have some basic parsing in the words. Well, but this is just a minor thing.
Now I love so much this Bible that I bring it along to church and to all services that I can attend, along with my English Bible. They are now inseparable. You will love your Greek Bible, and probably (like me) even more than your most precious English Bible.
