Von der hinteren Coverseite

This journey to the heart of Christian scripture takes the reader back two thousand years to the New Testament, and the language in which it was written. It uses only original and primary materials from the New Testament to teach the simple, unambiguous form of Greek intended to broadcast the message of Christianity to the widest possible audience.

Complete New Testament Greek draws on extracts from the Gospels to teach the language in a way that assumes no prior knowledge on the part of the student. It introduces each new grammatical point systematically and thoroughly, ensuring complete understanding before progressing to the next stage and with emphasis on a deeper understanding. Throughout the book, grammar is explained and reinforced with a wide range of readings and exercises, including translation practice.

This course enables readers to understand what the New Testament authors actually wrote, removing the barrier of translation and allowing them to appreciate the fundamental texts of Christianity in their original form. From the earliest point, the reading material is taken from the Greek text of the New Testament itself, avoiding 'made up' phrases or reading exercises and helping the reader gain confidence in their ability to read the language. With a wide array of supporting resources and further insights into the history of the New Testament, this is an ideal language course for anyone interested in reading the scriptures as they were meant to be understood, with an enhanced appreciation of their significance.
