John Schwandt's Introduction to Biblical Greek provides an attractive and workable alternative to the growing list of beginning Greek grammars that make minimal demands on students at the cost of reduced comprehension of the language. I recommend this book enthusiastically! --Buist Fanning, Senior Professor Emeritus of New Testament Studies, Dallas Theological Seminary John Schwandt's Introduction to New Testament Greek provides a clear introduction to the language, logically ordered, clearly presented, and with useful exercises. It is an introduction that students can use to study the language on their own and which can also be effectively used in a classroom setting. --Douglas Moo, Kenneth T. Wessner Professor of New Testament, Wheaton College Students who master John Schwandt's An Introduction to Biblical Greek can expect to plunge immediately into exegesis of the New Testament, the Septuagint, and the Apostolic Fathers. Up-to-date and comprehensive on matters of pronunciation, morphology, and verbal aspect, the book boasts an outstanding advantage over many competitors in its emphasis on students' composing Greek as well as translating it. --Robert H. Gundry, Professor Emeritus and Scholar-in-Residence, Westmont College No two people learn languages in exactly the same way, so there is always a need for new language textbooks. Creatively but logically structured, it charts a sensible middle course between standard and cutting-edge forms of verbal aspect theory. --Craig L. Blomberg, Distinguished Professor of New Testament, Denver Seminary Dr. John D. Schwandt's splendid An Introduction to Biblical Greek triggered my adrenaline to want to teach Greek grammar again. It has everything one wants in a textbook. Besides that, it is backed up by the exceptional technical resources of Logos. When the student has finished this text, they are ready to join the ranks of competent exegetes of the New Testament. --Bruce Waltke, Professor Emeritus of Biblical Studies, Regent College, Distinguished Professor Emeritus of Old Testament, Knox Theological Seminary John Schwandt knows how to teach Greek, and it shows in An Introduction to Biblical Greek. I have myself taught Greek for many years and am well aware of the challenges students face. Schwandt's Introduction is the best there is. I highly recommend it. --Craig A. Evans, John Bisagno Distinguished Professor of Christian Origins, Houston Baptist University
