A Greek New Testament at a VERY reasonable cost
About the author
My name is Evyenia, and I am a member of Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church in Spokane, WA. I began self-study of classical Greek about twenty years ago, and then - in 2003 - began classes (in Athens and on the island of Ikaria) in modern Greek. I currently teach classes in modern Greek at a beginner and intermediate level at Holy Trinity.
I have taken two semester courses of New Testament Greek at Whitworth University in Spokane. In these classes we completed Machen's text and read portions of the New Testament.
My knowledge of classical and modern Greek - in addition to koine Greek - gives me an interesting perspective on the development of the language. However, I would like to emphasize that this in no way makes me a true New Testament Greek scholar. As this blog develops I will continue to give book recommendations, and links to other resources for those who wish to pursue the subject in more depth.
I decided to start this blog because of my great interest in the Greek language, and my desire to continue learning New Testament Greek. I hope that others who share my interest will find this site and make the journey with me.

If you want to purchase a Greek New Testament
I also recommend
- The Greek New Testament, UBS4 with NRSV & NIV (the same Greek text, but with two flanking English translations; this is also available at Amazon, ISBN 0-310-41400-8)
Comments on the two grammars above
I learned koine Greek using the second edition of Machen's "New Testament Greek for Beginners.". It is straightforward and worked well in a classroom setting, but has a major drawback for self-study: the exercises have no key.
Mounce's "Basics of Biblical Greek Grammar" is - I believe - currently very popular. I have just started to use this text and it seems to be good; the customer reviews on amazon.com can also give you some idea of whether or not it would suit you. Note that there are no exercises in the text itself; a separate workbook provides those.
