In Beginning with New Testament Greek Companion Reader, Daniel Stevens provides first-year Greek students with extensive Greek readings keyed to Benjamin L. Merkle and Robert L. Plummer's widely used introductory grammar.
Learning to read Greek requires more than grammar memorization -- it requires practice with real Greek texts. Stevens bridges the gap between basic grammatical instruction and fluent exegesis by immersing students in Greek prose at the very moment they are acquiring each new grammatical concept. In each chapter, students will have pages of Greek written at their level that they can read to deepen their skills.
The reader is organized into 23 reading units, each corresponding to a chapter of Beginning with New Testament Greek. This resource offers
carefully crafted Greek readings, reflecting the usage of the Greek Scriptures
graduated introduction to grammar concepts
exposure to a variety of prose genres
The Beginning with New Testament Greek Companion Reader is designed for use alongside Merkle and Plummer's textbook in first-year Greek courses. Independent students of Greek will also benefit from this tool as they seek to deepen their reading ability beyond the classroom. Stevens's reader gives students the one thing no grammar alone can provide: a sustained, structured encounter with Greek text.
