The author Thomas Moore is the son of Fon Moore, a former United Airlines pilot who in WWII was a pilot of a C47 Skytrain fl ying “the hump” from India to China, in the China Burma India theatre. When Tom was a sophomore at Thousand Oaks High School, CA. his dad and older brother were killed in a car accident on the Conejo Grade in 1967. Tom then threw himself into the arms of Father God and desired to obtain a close personal relationship with God through the Lord Jesus Christ as his personal Savior. In 1969 he joined the Navy and when assigned to an oiler stationed in Long Beach, CA. he became the object of hatred and abuse as he was heavily persecuted for his Christian faith. He refused the invitation to join the crew at a brothel in the Philippines, which they took as a personal judgment against them. Tom returned love for their hate and decided by faith to always be full of joy. Three years later Tom led exactly 10% of the ship’s crew to faith in Jesus. Tom’s love for the Lord Jesus and His Word, led him to work on learning Koine Greek. He developed his own learning program by making elementary style school readers in the Koine Greek. This not only greatly accelerated his learning the Greek but found that reading a collection of elementary Greek Scriptures became his favorite devotional. It is Tom’s hopes that others will fi nd the joy in learning and reading the Greek text as he does. Castle Rock, CO. 7/30/24

This in-depth yet student-friendly introduction to Koine Greek provides a full grounding in Greek grammar, while starting to build skill in the use of exegetical tools. The approach, informed by twenty-five years of classroom teaching, emphasizes reading Greek for comprehension as opposed to merely translating it. The workbook is integrated into the textbook, with exercises appearing within each chapter rather than pushed to the end or located in a separate book. This enables students to practice concepts as they encounter them in the chapter--ideal for distance learning or studying beyond the traditional classroom. The book covers not only New Testament Greek but also the wider range of Bible-related Greek (LXX and other Koine texts). It introduces students to reference tools for biblical Greek, includes tips on learning, and is supplemented by robust web-based resources through Baker Academic's Textbook eSources. Resources for students include flash cards and audio files. Resources for professors include a test bank and an instructor's manual.

Providing graded readings in Koine Greek from the New Testament, Septuagint, Apostolic Fathers, and early creeds, this unique text integrates the full range of materials needed by intermediate Greek students. Its many features include four helpful vocabulary lists, numerous references to other resources, assorted translation helps, a review of basic grammar and syntax, and an introduction to "BDAG"--the standard Greek lexicon.

An excellent tool for students of New Testament Greek to maintain the skills taught in first-year Greek.

Now in its third edition, Learn to Read New Testament Greek is revised for the first time in fifteen years to include updated scholarship and additional reference notes.
