About this ebook
The LEARNER’S GREEK NEW TESTAMENT Series was born out of the author’s strongly held desire to read New Testament Greek without the heavy time commitment necessary to look up words and either transcribe the meanings to paper or, using modern electronic means, copy and paste them into a document for study. In addition, he wanted a simple way to grasp the sense of a verse and easily render it into correct and polished English. The Koine Greek, however, proved far from friendly and stubbornly seemed to resist attempts to be translated straightforwardly. No place stands taller among exceptionally difficult books to translate than the Epistle to the Hebrews, allegedly written “in a flowing, symmetrical and an artistically elaborate style” (Vincent’s Word Pictures in the New Testament, IV, p 362). However, most efforts to conquer this monumental piece of bible literature leave a student wishing it—along with much of the remaining Greek New Testament—could be more simplified, such as the writings of John. Now a reference work is available to achieve these objectives and bolster the learning process. By the layout of the LGNT series, the major tasks connected to reading and translating are completely done, freeing the student to concentrate on absorbing the Greek meanings in each passage rather than first mining the information and then wringing out the English sense.
David Harris Walker
The author of The LEARNER’S GREEK NEW TESTAMENT Series grew enamored with NT language studies before he entered his first class as a student at Washington Bible College. After 2 years of Greek studies and 3 years there, he transferred to Roberts Wesleyan College near Rochester, N.Y. and, following graduation, entered Colgate Rochester Divinity School for another year of Greek study. Afterwards enrolling in the Master of Arts program offered by Wheaton College, he took 2 more years of Greek, translating through the Synoptic Gospels and other portions of the New Testament. During this time, he realized the tedium of using a printed lexicon all but guaranteed that few students would proceed beyond formal courses and continue to learn, translate and move deeper into the riches of the Greek New Testament. A shortcut was severely needed, one that laid out the word renderings for each verse and thereby eliminate the hard work of repeated word look-up. With the advent of the personal computer and the electronic lexicon keyed to the individual Greek words, he began the long journey to prepare such a book and finished it 8 years later. But by using his own product, he discovered a verse-by-verse lexicon did little to reveal meanings in context and provide a clear understanding of idioms, grammatical constructions with no English equivalent and other complexities of the Koine Greek. Accepting the challenge to improve the outcome, he began a revision of the 3700 pages already completed to convert the massive book into several smaller volumes with much detailed information that transforms complicated language structure into easy-to-understand and east-to-translate passages. Early field testing showed that a person decades out of college classes can renew his long forgotten studies and be able to read and translate verses and do it without the prohibitive time requirements and stresses of earlier days. Now, even the weak student of the Greek New Testament is able to excel.
