Basics of Biblical Greek Grammar

• Author: William D. Mounce
• Edition: 3rd
• Publisher: Zondervan
• Publication Date: 2009
• Pages: 448

The original Basics of Biblical Greek (BBG) offered instructors, students, self-learners, and home schoolers an entirely new, integrated approach to teaching and learning New Testament Greek. This third edition continues in that tradition, making use of feedback from professors, students, and home schooling moms and dads. BBG makes learning Greek a natural process, and shows from the start how an understanding of Greek helps in understanding the New Testament.

Basics of Biblical Hebrew Grammar

• Authors: Gary D. Pratico and Miles V. Van Pelt
• Edition: 2nd
• Publisher: Zondervan
• Publication Date: 2007
• Pages: 512

Basics of Biblical Hebrew, today’s best-selling introductory Hebrew grammar, is new-and-improved with additional, linguistically nuanced explanations for some of the more difficult elements in biblical Hebrew. This second edition combines the best of inductive and deductive approaches, uses actual examples from the Hebrew Old Testament rather than made-up illustrations, emphasizes the structural pattern of the Hebrew language rather than rote memorization—resulting in a simple, enjoyable, and effective learning process—, and highlights particles added to nouns and verbs using colored text, allowing easy recognition of new forms.

Basics of Biblical Aramaic

• Author: Miles V. Van Pelt
• Publisher: Zondervan
• Publication Date: 2011
• Pages: 256

There are 269 verses in the Old Testament written in Aramaic, not in Hebrew. Most of the verses are found in Daniel and Ezra. Basics of Biblical Aramaic follows the same easy-to-understand style found the widely used Basics of Biblical Hebrew and includes everything you need to learn biblical Aramaic. This book is designed for those who already have a working knowledge of biblical Hebrew.

Greek Grammar beyond the Basics

• Author: Daniel B. Wallace
• Publisher: Zondervan
• Publication Date: 1997
• Pages: 864

For seminary students, the goal of studying Greek grammar is the accurate exegesis of biblical texts. Sound exegesis requires that the exegete consider grammar within a larger framework that includes context, lexeme, and other linguistic features.

While the trend of some grammarians has been to take a purely grammatical approach to the language, Greek Grammar beyond the Basics integrates the technical requirements for proper Greek interpretation with the actual interests and needs of Bible students. It is the first textbook to systematically link syntax and exegesis of the New Testament for second-year Greek students. It explores numerous syntactical categories, some of which have not previously been dealt with in print.

Greek Grammar beyond the Basics is the most up-to-date Greek grammar available. It equips intermediate Greek students with the skills they need to do exegesis of biblical texts in a way that is faithful to their intended meaning. The expanded edition contains a subject index, a Greek word index, and page numbers in the Syntax Summary section.

Daniel B. Wallace (PhD, Dallas Theological Seminary) is professor of New Testament at Dallas Theological Seminary. He is a noted textual critic, serving as head of the Center for the Study of New Testament Manuscripts, and is author of Greek Grammar beyond the Basics, Basics of New Testament Syntax, and (with Grant Edwards) of A Workbook for New Testament Syntax.

Morphology of Biblical Greek

• Author: William D. Mounce
• Publisher: Zondervan
• Publication Date: 1994
• Pages: 388

The Morphology of Biblical Greek shows second-year students that Greek is very regular in the way it forms words—if you know the rules.

The Morphology of Biblical Greek explains, in a way second-year Greek students can understand, how Greek words are formed. It shows that Greek word formation follows a limited set of rules. Once these rules are understood, it becomes clear that forms which once seemed to be irregular or an exception actually follow these morphological rules. The Morphology of Biblical Greek has five parts:

1. The rules that determine how Greek words change
2. The rules of verb formation, from augment to personal ending
3. Paradigms for every type of noun and adjective form, with all the words that belong in each category and any peculiarities of a given word
4. All the verbs and principal parts, with verbs that follow the same rules grouped together
5. An index of all words in the New Testament with their morphological category

The Morphology of Biblical Greek contains the most complete set of paradigms for nouns, verbs, adjectives, and pronouns available for New Testament Greek.

Basics of Verbal Aspect in Biblical Greek

• Author: Constantine R. Campbell
• Publisher: Zondervan
• Publication Date: 2008
• Pages: 160

Verbal aspect in the Greek language has been a topic of significant debate in recent scholarship. The majority of scholars now believe that an understanding of verbal aspect is even more important than verb tense (past, present, etc.). Until now, however, there have been few accessible textbooks.

In this book, Constantine Campbell investigates the function of verbal aspect within the New Testament Greek narrative. He has done a marvelous job in this book of simplifying the concept without getting caught up using terms of linguistics that no one except those schooled in that field can understand. The book includes exercises, an answer key, glossary of key concepts, an appendix covering space and time, and an index to Scripture cited.

Professors and students, at both the undergraduate and graduate levels, will use this is as a supplemental text in both beginning and advanced Greek courses. Pastors that study the Greek text will also appreciate this resource as a supplement to their preaching and teaching.

Constantine R. Campbell is an associate professor of New Testament at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School. He is the author of several books, including most recently Paul and Union with Christ: An Exegetical and Theological Study and Colossians and Philemon: A Handbook on the Greek Text.

Do It Yourself Hebrew and Greek

• Author: Edward W. Goodrick
• Edition: 2nd
• Publisher: Zondervan
• Publication Date: 1980
• Pages: 260

Do It Yourself Hebrew and Greek is designed for the serious Bible student who wants to discover as accurately as possible what the Bible meant in its original languages but who is not in a position to master those languages. This manual introduces the alphabets and the basic elements of Hebrew and Greek grammar. With this foundation, the student is taught to use the basic language tools, including analyticals, lexicons, interlinears, concordances, and commentaries.

Edward W. Goodrick was on the faculty at Multnomah Bible College for many years and coedited with John Kohlenberger various biblical language study tools, including the Zondervan NIV Exhaustive Concordance.

Prepositions and Theology in the Greek New Testament

• Author: Murray Harris
• Publisher: Zondervan
• Publication Date: 2012
• Pages: 304

Prepositions are important in the exegesis of the Greek New Testament, but they are at the same time very slippery words because they can have so many nuances. While Prepositions and Theology in the Greek New Testament rejects the idea of a “theology of the prepositions,” it is a study of the numerous places in the Greek New Testament where prepositions contribute to the theological meaning of the text.

Offered in the hope that it might encourage close study of the Greek text of the New Testament, its many features include the following:

• Coverage of all 17 “proper” and 42 “improper” prepositions
• Both literary and theological contexts
• Greek font—not transliteration—used throughout
• Comprehensive indexes to hundreds of verses, subjects, and Greek words
• Discussion of key repeated phrases that use a particular preposition

English Grammar to Ace Biblical Hebrew

• Author: Miles V. Van Pelt
• Publisher: Zondervan
• Publication Date: 2010
• Pages: 112

English Grammar to Ace Biblical Hebrew enables students of biblical Hebrew to grasp the basic concepts of English grammar that are needed in order to be able to transfer these concepts to biblical Hebrew.

One of the biggest problems students encounter learning biblical languages, especially Hebrew, is that they have either forgotten or simply do not know their English grammar. Concepts such as verb tense and voice, relative pronouns, antecedents, adjectival substantives, and the like, sound like familiar terms, but may seem foreign when it’s time to put them to practice.

With chapters such as, “To Be or Not To Be, that is the Infinitive” and “Pronouns: Grammatical Stunt Doubles,” this book is both clever and engaging. All Hebrew students will become better translators—and ultimately better pastors and leaders—with the help of this book. Tips for studying Hebrew, a glossary, and a list of additional Hebrew resources is also provided.

English Grammar to Ace New Testament Greek

• Author: Samuel Lamerson
• Publisher: Zondervan
• Publication Date: 2004
• Pages: 112

English Grammar to Ace New Testament Greek is designed to help you get a quick brush-up on the English grammar you’ve either forgotten or never quite learned, in a way that ties directly to your first-year Greek studies.

With chapters such as “You Ain’t Nothing but a Noun Dog” and “Inflection: Trouble Understanding Yoda You Have, Yes?” this colorful, entertaining book compares elements of English grammar with similar elements in Greek grammar. It can either be used as a one-week intensive study to prepare for Greek grammar, or be readily incorporated into actual Greek studies.

Biblical Words and Their Meaning

• Author: Moisés Silva
• Edition: 2nd
• Publisher: Zondervan
• Publication Date: 1995
• Pages: 228

When first published in 1983, Biblical Words and Their Meaning broke new ground by introducing to students of the Bible the principles of linguistics, in particular, on lexical semantics—that branch that focuses on the meaning of individual words. Silva’s structural approach provides the interpreter with an important lexical tool for more responsible understanding of the biblical text and more effective use of standard exegetical resources. This revised edition includes a bibliographical essay by Silva, “Recent Developments in Semantics,” and an appendix by Karen H. Jobes, “Distinguishing the Meaning of Greek Verbs in the Semantic Domain for Worship,” which provides the reader with a substantive example of lexical study.

Moisés Silva (PhD, University of Manchester) has taught New Testament at Westmont College, Westminster Theological Seminary, and Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary. He is the author or coauthor of eight books and the revising editor of the Zondervan Encyclopedia of the Bible.

Biblical Greek: A Compact Guide

• Author: William D. Mounce
• Publisher: Zondervan
• Publication Date: 2011
• Pages: 224

Biblical Greek: A Compact Guide offers Greek students a one-stop guide for the grammar, morphology, and vocabulary of biblical Greek. This resource follows the organization and format familiar to the hundreds of thousands of students who have used Basics of Biblical Greek Grammar in their first-year Greek courses, but it is also usable by students who learned with a different grammar. By limiting its discussion to the “nuts and bolts,” Greek language students working on translation and exegesis will more quickly and easily find the relevant grammatical refreshers.

Students can, for example, check on the range of meaning for a particular word or make sure they remember how aorist participles function in a sentence. The paradigms, word lists, and basic discussions in Biblical Greek: A Compact Guide point students in the right direction and allow them to focus on more advanced Greek study.

Biblical Greek: A Compact Guide will become a valuable addition to the reference library of seminary students and pastors.

Keep Your Greek

• Author: Constantine R. Campbell
• Publisher: Zondervan
• Publication Date: 2010
• Pages: 96

Seminarians spend countless hours mastering biblical languages and learning how the knowledge of them illuminates the reading, understanding, and application of Scripture. But while excellent language acquisition resources abound, few really teach students how to maintain their use of Greek for the long term. Consequently, pastors and other former Greek students find that under the pressures of work, ministry, preaching, and life, their hard-earned Greek skills begins to disappear.

Campbell has been counseling one-time Greek students for years, teaching them how to keep their language facility for the benefit of those to whom they minister and teach. He shows how following the right principles makes it possible for many to retain—and in some cases regain—their Greek language skills.

Pastors will find Keep Your Greek an encouraging and practical guide to strengthening their Greek abilities so that they can make linguistic insights a regular part of their study and teaching. Current students will learn how to build skills that will serve them well once they complete their formal language instruction.

Biblical Greek Exegesis

• Authors: George H. Guthrie and J. Scott Duvall
• Publisher: Zondervan
• Publication Date: 1998
• Pages: 192

Biblical Greek Exegesis presents a proven, highly practical approach to the study of intermediate and advanced Greek grammar. Most textbooks focus on learning syntactical categories, illustrated by sentences taken from the Greek New Testament, and place little emphasis on how to apply Greek grammar to the Greek text in preparing sermons and lectures. In contrast, Biblical Greek Exegesis stresses real-life application. Beginning with selections from the Greek New Testament, students learn intermediate and advanced Greek grammar inductively by analyzing the text. The process closely resembles the approach used in sermon and lecture preparation.

This successfully field-tested approach to intermediate and advanced Greek will help students bridge the gap between understanding the categories of Greek grammar and the demand to communicate the meaning and significance of the New Testament message to the twenty-first century.

J. Scott Duvall, who received his PhD at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, is professor of New Testament at Ouachita Baptist University. He is the coauthor with George H. Guthrie of Biblical Greek Exegesis: A Graded Approach to Learning Intermediate and Advanced Greek and with Terry G. Carter and J.

Devotions on the Greek New Testament

• Authors: Verlyn Verbrugge and J. Scott Duvall
• Publisher: Zondervan
• Publication Date: 2012
• Pages: 160

Devotions on the Greek New Testament continues on this path of excellence by introducing these devotions—based on a careful reading and study of the Greek New Testament—written by some of the top Greek scholars of today. Contributors include Scot McKnight, Daniel B. Wallace, Craig L. Blomberg, Mark Strauss, and William D. Mounce, among others.

Devotions on the Greek New Testament can be used as weekly devotional or as a supplemental resource throughout a semester or sequence of courses. The main point each devotion offers comes from a careful reading of the passage in the Greek New Testament, not from the English Bible. These authors use a variety of exegetical approaches in their devotions: grammatical, lexical, rhetorical, sociohistorical, linguistic, etc. Each devotion closes with a practical application.

New International Dictionary of Theology and Exegesis: Old and New Testament

• Editors: William A. VanGemeren and Moisés Silva
• Series: New International Dictionary of Theology and Exegesis
• Publisher: Zondervan
• Pages: 8,964
• Resource Type: Dictionaries

The New International Dictionary of Theology and Exegesis: Old and New Testament (10 vols.) contains thousands of articles, written by hundreds of scholars from over 100 academic institutions! This massive reference work contains articles on the theology of each individual book of the Bible, as well as discussions of biblical concepts, people, places, events, and literary pieces. The New International Dictionary of Theology and Exegesis: Old and New Testament is intended for serious biblical and exegetical study by men and women of all walks of life—both academics and pastors, students and laypersons.

Volumes one through five contain a lexicon of the Old Testament. All words found in the text are ordered by Hebrew alphabetization for easy reference, and coupled with a Goodrich/Kohlenberger cross-referencing number to be used in conjunction with Strong’s numbering system. The relationship of each word in different contexts and languages is also explained, including alternative words, and the particulars of their semantic domain. All this information is, of course, complete with bibliography. Volume five contains a series of indexes: a Hebrew index, subject index, and an index of semantic fields. This collection is an unparalleled accomplishment in the field of biblical hermeneutics.

The latter five volumes examine and discuss the major theological terms of the Bible. They allow you to unlock the significance, meaning, and nuances of words in the New Testament without having to study Hebrew or Greek! These five volumes are a basic enlargement of the German Theologisches Begriffslexikon zum Neuen Testament. On its first publication in German it was recognized as a major reference work and has since become more and more widely acclaimed as an important tool for understanding the theology and message of the Bible.

Willem VanGemeren is professor of Old Testament at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School. He is the author of a number of books, including Interpreting the Prophetic Word and a commentary on Psalms in the Expositor’s Bible Commentary series.

Basics of Ancient Ugaritic

• Author: Michael J. Williams
• Publisher: Zondervan
• Publication Date: 2012
• Pages: 144

Sample Pages: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6

Basics of Ancient Ugaritic is a teaching grammar of this ancient language, one spoken at the time of Abraham occurring in ancient texts in cuneiform writing. Beginning with the alphabet, each new lesson builds on the ones before it. Unlike synthetic Ugaritic grammars—which have been known to be overwhelming for students—Basics of Ancient Ugaritic draws from cuneiform texts and lets students explore the language practically.

Basics of Ancient Ugaritic can be used for learning the language by individuals on their own or in a classroom setting. Each chapter concludes with a set of exercises allowing students to know whether they are grasping the fundamentals of the language. Basics of Ancient Ugaritic represents an ideal first text for entering the larger world of Semitic languages.

Sing and Learn New Testament Greek

• Arranged and read by Kenneth Berding
• Publisher: Zondervan
• Publication Date: 2008
• Length: 80 minutes

A new addition to the Zondervan line of biblical Greek resources, this audio resource includes everything a professor or a student will need.

Sing and Learn New Testament Greek provides a way for learning (and remembering!) New Testament Greek grammar forms through simple songs. It is not designed to compete with existing Greek grammar books, but to serve as a required supplemental resource for elementary Greek classes. Indeed, it has been designed to be used alongside of any introductory grammar. A professor can simply assign to his or her students any (or some) of the songs for the paradigms a particular elementary grammar employs. In this way, students will actually remember what they have learned (as we are all aware, people do not easily forget something learned via song).

The entire project includes songs for indicative verb endings, participles, infinitives, imperatives, contract forms, and prepositions, among others. All but the last song can be sung in 15 seconds or less. Parsing is enormously easier through this method. And it is a lot more fun than traditional methods (are we allowed to even use the word “fun” in reference to elementary Greek? Absolutely!). Beginning Greek students can listen along using Logos on their tablet or smartphone, or put it on their desktop or laptop computer. These songs are so simple that students who have used them complain about waking up in the middle of the night with the songs running through their heads. You’ll never hear that complaint from students who have had to use rote memory to learn grammar forms.

Graded Reader of Biblical Greek

• Author: William D. Mounce
• Publisher: Zondervan
• Publication Date: 1996
• Pages: 240

Making the leap from the basics of biblical Greek to its real-life application can be a frustrating challenge for students of intermediate Greek. A Graded Reader of Biblical Greek was developed to make the transition easier. It takes beginning exegetes from simple to progressively more difficult biblical texts. Students can now learn New Testament Greek the way they would any other language: through a graded program. A Graded Reader of Biblical Greek applies an inductive method to learning intermediate Greek grammar. It provides a workable introduction to exegesis, word studies, and developing a large vocabulary; and it assists the student in preparing for class, allowing classroom time to be put to its most effective use.

• Twenty Greek passages are presented in graded order
• Difficult and unfamiliar grammatical constructions are explained
• All words that occur fewer than 20 times in the New Testament are defined
• An “Exegetical Discussion” section helps the exegete gain a deeper understanding of the language

A Graded Reader of Biblical Greek is the result of ten years of use and refinement by the author in an actual classroom setting.

Graded Reader of Biblical Hebrew

• Authors: Miles V. Van Pelt and Gary D. Pratico
• Publisher: Zondervan
• Publication Date: 2006
• Pages: 256

A Graded Reader of Biblical Hebrew is the ideal next-step resource for the student who has completed a year of elementary Hebrew, or it can be used as a refresher for the pastor or scholar whose language skills have diminished due to lack of use. Immersion in the language is the best way to reinforce what you have already learned and to gain greater proficiency in using the language for exegesis and preaching. A Graded Reader of Biblical Hebrew is a structured introduction to the reading of biblical Hebrew texts.

Through these readings, you will be able to review basic Hebrew grammar, become familiar with issues of intermediate grammar, and gain confidence in handling the Hebrew text. The readings chosen for inclusion, which are arranged generally in order of increasing difficulty, span the whole of the Old Testament and represent some of the most important Old Testament texts from the standpoint of biblical history, theology, and exegesis.

The many notes that accompany the text include information on grammar, exegetically significant constructions, vocabulary words, idioms, bibliographic information, and more. Parsing exercises are included with each reading, and there is room for you to write your own English translation.

A separate section of the vocabulary list contains all Aramaic words appearing in the Old Testament. A Student’s Vocabulary for Biblical Hebrew and Aramaic is a tool that will be welcomed and used by all students of Hebrew.
