Since 1914 Cambridge has published The Elements of New Testament Greek, a best-selling textbook for scholars and students of the Bible. The original book by Nunn was replaced and succeeded in 1965 by J. W. Wenham's book of the same title; now Jeremy Duff has produced a new book to continue this long-established tradition into the twenty-first century. Learning Greek is a journey of many steps. In this book each of these steps is explained clearly, and reviewed using questions and exercises. Lessons are ordered so the most important aspects of Greek are learnt first and the vocabulary consists of the most commonly occurring words in the New Testament. Hundreds of examples cover every book of the New Testament and there is a New Testament passage to translate in almost every chapter. An audio CD containing vocabulary lists, reading passages and paradigms is also available to accompany this book. Free software and teaching resources are also available at the book's website.

This is the textbook that I used in seminary for my ministerial training. As far as learning the basics of biblical greek is concerned this book is the best there is. The elements and the elements alone are dealt with. The emphasis is upon the student learning the foundational truths of the language and all other more complicated questions surrounding syntax are ignored.
The intention of the book is to give the student a solid start in the learning of the language and to enable the scholar to read the Greek New Testament. The book succeeds in its stated aims. Recommended
