Praise for A GREEK READER
ERIC D. BARRETO, Princeton Theological Seminary
“When I’m teaching New Testament Greek, I am always searching for resources that will invite my students to immerse themselves in the language and not just memorize a pile of vocabulary cards as a weekly obligation. Mark Jeong’s Greek Reader is an ideal companion in the teaching of Greek because it invites students into a world of narrative and delight that just happens to teach grammar and syntax along the way. I will be assigning this book every time I teach Greek from now on.”
AMY PEELER, Wheaton College
“What a welcome and necessary addition to the repertoire of tools for Greek teachers! Students often struggle early on to read well because they read in small chunks and from the biblical text they already know. Jeong provides digestible and intriguing conversations and stories that track with students’ deductive learning, and, because the text is fresh, these passages provide a true assessment of the student’s understanding. I look forward to using and recommending this book.”
C. KAVIN ROWE, Duke Divinity School
“Students who are just beginning Greek would often do well to read bits of narratives to get a sense of how the language works. The problem is that the ancients didn’t write study drills that are accessible to beginning students who have no familiarity with Greek and who therefore require texts that start with the simplest grammar/syntax. Mark Jeong provides such texts. His book fills a gap and should aid any student starting off on the adventure of learning Greek.”
JOSHUA W. JIPP, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School
“What a fun way to learn how to read Greek! Beginning students will find themselves enjoying the appropriate challenge of reading stories about Philemon, Onesimus, and Paul. By the end, they’ll find themselves ready to make reading the Koine Greek of the New Testament a lifelong practice.”
