What our customer's say!

"A must for Greek", Again big props for this book the Basics of Biblical Greek is a need for all Greek students the book, workbook, cd and CDrom are all perfect and come with a high recommendation!

"Necessary Companion", A "must-have" with the Grammar book of the same name. Plenty of translation exercises to compliment the grammar lessons.

"The Best in Class", The entire study package of Basics of Biblical Greek which includes the textbook, the study guide, the vocabulary cards, the summary sheet, and the lecture CD's is a blessed fruit of a long, thoughtful, meticulous, and high-tech labor of one of the world's best New Testament Greek scholars. I have to admit I have not studied Greek from other professors, but after studying Mounce, I simply can not imagine a better way to teach students an introduction to Biblical Greek than the one Prof. Mounce implements in this study packet. The structure and methodology are so impressively organized that I believe, without trying to diminish the role of an instructor, one can study by himself or herself without taking the class at a seminary. From start to finish, Prof. Mounce designs the lessons with solid exegesis skills as the goal in mind. He wastes no time but immediately exposes students with translation exercises using real Scripture passages in the study guide, even early in the first few chapters when he barely starts with nouns.

The lessons are divided into three major parts; nouns, adjectives and verbs. Each chapter begins with exegetical insights related to the topic being taught in that particular chapter. He then moves on by explaining the English and Greek forms. The nouns and adjectives are not too bad. They are usually divided into three types of declensions. While the nouns usually take on one of the three declensions, the most common configuration of adjectives is either 3-1-3 or 2-1-2 where the first, second and third numbers indicate the declension type for masculine, feminine and neuter genders, respectively. There are some discussions on special-case nouns having slightly abnormal endings; pant and ent, for examples. Now verbs are considerably more challenging because they not only have more numerous categories and rules, but the biggest obstacles are the tense stems and when they form the real verbs through a combination of augments, tense-formatives, connecting vowels, and personal endings. The trouble can be illustrated by comparing it to having to memorize the English present, past and perfect tenses of irregular and regular verbs which the Greek version has six; present, future active, aorist active and passive, perfect active and passive, instead of three in English. And each of these six stems has different forms not only depending on the person and number, but also on the voices; active, middle, and passive. On top of these, there is another parameter, called aspect, where these verbs take on other forms, the indicative covered in the early chapters of the verbs, subjunctive, infinitive and imperative. Some are similar if not the same as the indicatives, which make them even harder to distinguish which one is which. Here Prof. Mounce reminds students to always watch for the contexts. Context is your best friend when it comes to translation. There is no easy way of getting around this issue completely except in my view, to get the Greek Morphology text, also by Mounce. At the end of some chapters, there is coverage on extended materials that deal with special cases, additional rules in translation, contraction and morphology.

The summary sheet consists of all important rules involving word formation, verb-ending charts, and all the forms of frequently used verbs. It serves as a handy guide for students when doing the translation so they don't have to flip through the pages of the textbook. Some flipping of pages is inevitable, though, because the last few pages of the textbook has the list of major lexicons.

There are two types of drills in the study guide. The first is chapter-by-chapter review where students are asked to parse ten words in a table having the forms that have been covered up to that chapter. Next, there is a warm-up translation section consisting of seven short phrases or sentences to be translated before the real translation exercise begins with twenty sentences; some are long ones. From my experience, I sometimes had a headache after completing the translation work due to the intensity it involves in figuring out not only what the words mean, but also their forms, and how to restructure the sentence in English format that both are understandable and make sense. The second type of drill is the exam-type where the test materials are combined every five chapters. The tasks include parsing, grammar rules, and translations usually from a New Testament passage.

As in any other languages, learning Greek requires extra memory power, but not brute-force memorization of every single word indiscriminately. Prof. Mounce always warns students only to memorize special-case words and rules such as endings and contractions, instead of every single word with all its garden variety of forms. Excellent advise.

Needless to say, I delightfully endorse Prof. Mounce as your virtual Greek instructor. If you decide to homeschool yourself, you can purchase the complete combo set at teknia dot com. I don't think Amazon sell the lecture CD set. But even if you are taking the class at the seminary, I don't see any harm for you to buy the combo set anyway, though you probably won't need the lecture CD's provided you have an excellent instructor.



"Goes great with the textbook!", This is a great product. The corresponding book is also great. Even if you are looking into Greek for reasons other than religion, I would recommend this series. It moves quick, but is easy to understand. At the end of each chapter of the book you do a few pages, and after chapter 2 you are already translating easy greek! The book and workbook are just great products and William Mounce is a great teacher

"excellent grammar", As I now this is one of the best grammar books for biblical greek.
For me it was very helpfull but you need practice for learning biblical greek. More than half of this book is with verbs.

"The Best in the Business", William Mounce's "Basics of Biblical Greek Workbook" is peerless. This is the primer for every student of biblical Greek. It is user-friendly, easy-to-read, even fun (so rare with a Greek text!). The workbook exercises are thorough and get the student into the text--thus motivating the reader to do the hard work necessary to learn biblical Greek.

"Absolutely necessary", This workbook is absolutely necessary if you want to make your investment in William D Mounce's Basics if Biblical Greek pay off. Actually I'm not sure that the book is even necessary if you have this workbook. It explains every answer in that much detail.

Oops... My apologies. The work book doesn't explain the answers, but if you take the time to download the answers, they explain themselves very well...

"A good workbook companion to the Basics of Biblical Greek Grammar", If you plan on learning Greek with Mounce through the Grammar this workbook is essential. If you are disciplined this self study will help you learn and retain what you read in the grammar. The major draw back is Mounce fails to provide the answers to the workbook... maybe teachers guide is available. Nonetheless, you can check your own work by going back over each chapter. I recommend it.

"Must Have", This is a must have companion for the Basics of Biblical Greek text book.

"Excellent Educational Tool", I was very pleased with this book and the accompanying CD.
It is a perfect tool for an adult self study of the classical Greek language and we are enjoying the challenge.
I would imagine it would be an excellent suplement to the home scholers reference library.
