New, updated editions of the best-selling and most widely accepted textbook and workbook for learning biblical Greek. William D. Mounce's Basics of Biblical Greek Grammar and its companion tool Basics of Biblical Greek Workbook are by far the best-selling and most widely accepted textbooks for learning New Testament Greek. These excellent tools for studying New Testament Greek are now even better. As a result of feedback from professors, the author has made adjustments to his material. For example, a chapter on clauses has been added at the end of the book. The CD-ROM is now easier to use and has even more information on it than the earlier edition. The workbook has been significantly rewritten. Nearly 50 percent of the verses are new. They are shorter and more focused on the grammar of the chapter.

Basics of Biblical Greek Workbook Reviews

  • Aaron

    This is the companion workbook to Mounce's grammar. I used this workbook for homework in my introductory Greek class at seminary. It includes parsing and translations from the New Testament and Church Fathers. There are also review sections.

    The exercises are sucessfully oriented toward the limitations of the student's knowledge, and they also nicely reinforce the grammar learned in each chapter. The exercises are nicely glossed where needed, which keeps the student from becoming discouraged. I found it to be a great help in solidifying Mounce's grammar book.

    The basics of the biblical Greek workbook... does exactly what it says on the tin! As I'm sure it has served the same purpose for many others, this book was my workbook for first-year Greek. What I love about this book is the amount of Greek it gets you reading. Each chapter has parsing exercises, warm-ups, translations, and extension translations from the Septuagint and Didache. By the time I had finished each chapter and looked over the 4o-something questions I'd just translated, I wondered why this was only worth 10 marks; a question I haven't been able to stop asking myself since! And yet there is something exceptional about this. From the beginning chapters, you're supplied with verb translations to practice seeing how your nouns function. Then you add in nouns, participles, and non-indicative moods, and soon enough you're reading whole passages of scripture. Am I prepared to read my Greek NT now? I think so. I'm slightly biased, this is my second time through the textbook, and I've read others, but for someone serious about learning this language, I recommend you take your time with this workbook and try to understand the big key concepts to each section

    Finally decided to finish what I started toward the end of 2013 and have put out for so long and it was very satisfying to finish it so that I can move to other grammars and more advanced stuff. Dr. Mounce is an excellent teacher and knows how to bring difficult concepts by explaining them in English and also in Greek. This is probably the best beginning Greek grammar.

    Very helpful

  • Darren Lee

    Must have for every 1st year Greek students!

  • Dan

    The workbook exercises often contain concepts that students have not yet learned, which they found frustrating. I still found Mounce's curriculum to be good for teaching NT Greek, but now I know to tell them to skip certain translation exercises or to give them additional hints before doing them.

    This is the companion workbook and I think it is essential if you are going to try to work through the textbook.

    Get the BBG workbook and textbook, find Mounce's free summary lectures online and you'll begin the fun of reading and translating texts from the Greek NT!
