Another Greek Grammar Online 2004-10-02

Posted by Peter Kirby at 4:42 PM | Permalink

William W. Goodwin's Greek Grammar is now online at CCEL. This work can stand beside the Beginner's Grammar of the Greek New Testament by William H. Davis, which I have made available on my Early Christian Writings web site, in the Online Books section. Machen's introductory Greek grammar (published in 1923) used to be on CCEL (at this URL), but I can no longer find it. What all these efforts have in common is that they are presented in images. The advantage to this is that errors are reduced and that the time necessary for preparation is a fraction of what would be required for a true transcription of the text, with the polytonic Greek. The scanning job for Goodwin's book was done by TextKit, which also offers A Brief Introduction to New Testament Greek by Samuel G. Green, NT Greek in a Nutshell by James Strong, and many other grammars. Links to other online sites concerning Greek have been compiled by Michael D. Marlowe and Mark Goodacre. Of course, there are abundant print resources, and a select few are given in my NT Reading List that will help a person teach herself Koine Greek.
