Interlinear Greek-English New Testament By: George Ricker Berry

It's still a Gem. I am just a general reader. I defer to others expertise and acknowledge my ignorance. The purpose of this Literature is to: ignite and sustain a passion. Not to: promote one's own vain-glorious interests or "crown" oneself at others expense. Although I read other Greek Editions, this one will always have a place in my library. Worn print and all- I think it enhances it by contributing to a sense of time and distance. You may have some age related eye issues. King James works for me, gets better and better.

A Tool for Many Disciplines

THIS IS A GREAT TOOL FOR THE STUDENT OF THE HEW TESTAMENT, THE GREEK STUDENT, THE PERSON INTERESTED IN EXIGESIS FOR ANY REASON. THE LAYOUT IS GOOD AND THE AIDS ARE INDISPENSIBLE. THE PUBLISHER MIGHT HAVE GIVEN US LARGER PRINT FOR EASIER READING. I AM AN INTERESTED STUDENT IN THE RELATION OF RELIGION AND POLITICS. THIS BOOK HAS BEEN A VALUABLE TOOL FOR MANY YEARS AND I KEEP IT WHERE I CAN FIND IT EASILY. YHIS MAY GIVE YOU AN IDEA OF HOW WIDE THE NEED FOR THIS IS. ENLIGHTENMENT THROUGH THE STUDY OF THE ORIGINAL TEXT IS ANOTHER BENEFIT OF THE INTERLINEAR VERSION. IT OFFERS A GOOD INTRODUCTION TO THE GREEK LABNGUAGE AND A REFRESHER COURSE FOR THOSE WHO STUDIED IT TOO LONG AGO.

An Excellent N.T. Study Tool

This is a great all-in-one-tool for those who desire to find the original Greek words from which the English Bible (KJV) is translated, yet who have little or no knowledge of Greek. Under each Greek word is given its literal English equivalent, along with the King James Version in the margins, so that the student can follow along from his/her own Bible. The Greek text used is that of Robert Stephens of 1550, the famed "Textus Receptus," often known by its more popular name, "The Majority Text." In addition, at the back of the book a condensed, but helpful, lexicon is supplied along with an abridged version of Trench's "Synonyms of the N.T." An excellent tool for anyone wishing to "study to show thyself approved unto God" (2 Tim. 2:15)."

Essential for any serious NT student.

Why?There are several interlinear NTs (AKA, "ponies") available, some with words "Strong-coded," and/or more "up-to-date" translations, while others, like Berry, stick with the KJV and the Textus Receptus Greek. At least one includes a rather extensive concordance.The advantage of this book is, as you can see at the bottom of the sample pages, they have included all the variations in the Greek texts that have been used as the bases for most of our newer translations. Therefore, when you see words added, omitted or changed in an English version, you can see from whence it came, assuming that it is not just a paraphrase, and determine whether the modification was justified, perhaps by the number of Greek texts that support the change, or by looking into the reliability of the texts involved.I find this help invaluable, especially since the marginal notes are usually vague about alternative renderings of a passage, if they are given at all.You many find that you may want to use other references too, such as a Strong's Concordance, and a Vine's Dictionary, although the included lexicon is not too shabby, but the extra effort is worth it.(This review is based on the Zonderan hardcover. It is assumed that this paperback is essentially the same.)
