A must for beginners as well as those seeking a refresher course, this book makes the study of Koine Greek as simple as possible by avoiding the unnecessary complicated jargon found in other Greek grammar books. Through his methodical approach and his usage of a rich Greek vocabulary, Dr. Hadjiantoniou covers the material in a thorough, yet understandable fashion.
