The knowledge and understanding of the Greek New Testament that I gained from Dr. Morris' text has helped me unlock significant POWER for my preaching and application of ministry to which God has called me. This text prepared me at the undergraduate level for seminary levels above and beyond my fellow seminary classmates. I absolutely recommend this text above and beyond any other! If you are looking to select a text to teach Greek to high school, college, or seminary students, Dr. Morris's "Hellenika: A Beginning Greek Textbook" is the text to choose...hands down!! This is MASTERPIECE!
