Overview

Published in 1995 by AMG Publishers, this comprehensive hardcover volume presents a unique learning resource for students of the Greek language and the New Testament.

This side-by-side format offers a valuable tool for anyone seeking to bridge the gap between the historical and contemporary forms of Greek.

By comparing the two versions, students can gain a deeper appreciation for the nuances of the original Koine Greek text. They can observe how the language has evolved over time, while also enriching their understanding of the New Testament writings. This resource is particularly helpful for those studying theology, biblical languages, or classical Greek.
