Book Reviews of Greek Grammar Beyond the Basics
Book Review: An important and immensely helpful book
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the reference grammar that I needed when I was in graduate school! This grammar is completely compatible with Herbert Weir Smyth's GREEK GRAMMAR (Harvard Univ. Press) and that is extremely helpful. What is unique and most praiseworthy about this book is that it gives examples for its syntactical categories, both in Greek and in English. It summarizes the scholarly controversy about verbal aspect and comes to its own conclusions in an even-handed way. This is fine book that I do not hesitate to recommend to my graduate and undergraduate students.Book Review: A TREASURE FOR YOUR LIBRARY
Summary: 5 Stars
I think that what makes Wallace's text such a treasure is that not only does Wallace have a command of his subject which is breathtaking but he has wit and humor. I have enjoyed his text and have found myself being taught with a sense of joy and delight. If you love Greek, the New Testament, and learning, you can't help loving this book. You might notice that Wallace quotes Robertson on the sticky aspects of Greek. See my reveiw of Robertson.Hopefully Helpful,

Book Review: a great intermediate grammar ...
Summary: 5 Stars
The knock on Wallace has been on the number of categories he uses, and some of the examples. I think that misses the point. Read the book, and begin to extrapolate from his examples an understanding of Greek syntax. His examples are just there for illustration, and I know he would admit they are not gospel.It is telling that Wallace was asked to serve on the committe that will produce the next revision of the standard for advanced Koine Greek grammar, Blass-DeBrunner-Funk. Get this book, and then get BDF (or AT Robertson's grammar).
Book Review: Invaluable sourcebook for advanced Greek students
Summary: 5 Stars
Any student of Koine Greek will greatly benefit from this well-written and exhaustively researched volume. Alongside your BAGD, you will find this text invaluable. Wallace not only shares his considerable knowledge gleaned over decades of teaching, but he manages to keep the content interesting and even (gasp) fun!Affectionately known as "big green" among my seminary classmates, Wallace's advanced grammar has made our study of the GNT both easier and more complete. Kudos to Dr. Wallace on this fine work.
Book Review: Great Book
Summary: 5 Stars
This was my first grammar that I got, not knowing it was for second year students and beyond. I had learned something about Greek and the biblical text and all that because of my interest in apologetics and cults. This book helped me on some of the texts that cults like to use and abuse for their own purpose. Now being in seminary, and planning to study Greek in the future, it will be something I will need. It also directed me to William Mounce's work which was great.
God Bless Dr. Wallace.
