Greek Books

Originally uploaded by C.K. Sample, III.

I recently picked up some New Testament Greek aids. The one on the left is a Reader’s Greek New Testament, which has the definitions for all the uncommon Greek words in the footnotes at the bottom of each page. I was dissappointed that they chose to use the Variant text of the Greek (which the NIV is based upon), rather than the UBS / Nestle Aland text, although the places where the text diverges are noted in the footnotes with the alternate readings provided. On the right is Metzger’s Textual Commentary. Both very cool books to have if you are into studying Koine Greek and Biblical studies.
