Hewett's Grammer - A Great Start to GNT Studies
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
I used this text in Seminary and found it very helpful, for the most part. But I just recently completed a full restudy of Greek using this as a self-study text. I appreciate it even more now. It has great problem assignements, and its very clear. But you will want to order the answer key too. The answer key is not real good, since it only give his translation. It does not tell you what verse he is using, nor does he parse the verbs. You will need a concordance and lexicon to really get the most out of the text. Too bad he doesn't revise it with this information, then it would be a 5-star text.
Good guide to memorize the declentional forms

We used this as textbook. The advantage of this book is its explanation of dialectical forms. It is a litte bit different from other grammars, but for students it seems easy to memorize. And it is very helpful when I perse forms of the verbs in the actual text.But some problems are also there: of course it has exercises, mainly from the NT, but especiallyin the former part of the book, there are some strange sentences ( it may be artificial sentences only for exercise), so they may cause some difficulties to the students because they cannot understand the "meanings" of the exercise texts. Another problem is that though the title includes "intermediate grammar," there are little of syntax matters. Except the problem of the exercise, I would recommend this as the beginning grammar of Greek NT.
Clear explanations, good exercises, solved answers available
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 27 years ago
I have not yet found a beginning Greek text that thrills me, but this is the introductory text which I found most helpful. Explanations are clear, exercises are pretty good, and solved exercises are available - a very important consideration if you are teaching yourself. There aren't enough excercises for me, but all in all, I think this is a very useful text. I only give it a 7, but I haven't found a beginning Greek grammar that does better than this. Fortunately, there are some great intermediate texts - see "http://www.mindspring.com/~jwrobie/littleGreek.html" for more comments on beginning Greek texts, intermediate grammars, lexicons, etc.
