An Introduction to the Study of New Testament Greek

by James Hope Moulton

Publisher:

Charles H. Kelly

, 1895

Overview

Based on the research for his larger reference work, Grammar of New Testament Greek, Moulton's introductory grammar has been used by thousands of first year students since its publication. Unlike the vast majority of introductory texts available, Moulton's grammar brings a linguist's perspective to the introductory study of Greek. In a number of areas, his discussion is superior to that of modern introductions. For example, Moulton recognizes that the middle voice continues to be a viable grammatical category during the New Testament period and is more caution on the question of deponency than most modern grammars. These features and more make this introductory grammar an important and helpful volume for studying New Testament Greek.
