A Reader in Biblical Greek

Richard A. Wright A graduated reader of biblical Koine Greek for students, clergy, and scholars who have completed at least one year of Greek studies.

is intermediate reader is for students, clergy, and scholars who have completed at least one year of Greek instruction and want to build reading pro ciency. rough twenty-nine texts from the New Testament, the Septuagint, and noncanonical early Christian writings, readers will be exposed to a variety of di erent genres and authors while still being given enough content from each individual author to become acquainted with that author’s individual style. Notes within each selection gloss low-frequency words and clarify syntactical intricacies, and each new section of texts gradually increases in its level of di culty, so that lessons can be worked through sequentially or as stand-alone exercises, as needed.

Wright’s selections are all texts that Christians in the fourth century CE would have read, with intertextual connections between them that will stimulate discussion and re ection on the development of important ideas in the early church. us, this useful resource encourages progress both in Koine reading pro ciency and in knowledge of Christian tradition.

Richard A. Wright is professor of New Testament in the Graduate School of eology at Abilene Christian University, where he teaches courses on the languages and literature connected with the study of the New Testament in its cultural context. His scholarship explores the intersection of the New Testament and early church with Greco-Roman philosophies and religions.

A Greek Reader

Companion to A Primer of Biblical Greek Mark Jeong A companion resource for use with N. Clayton Croy’s Primer of Biblical Greek, featuring dozens of simple, enjoyable narratives to reinforce the content and skills introduced by Croy.

“When I’m teaching New Testament Greek, I am always searching for resources that will invite my students to immerse themselves in the language and not just memorize a pile of vocabulary cards as a weekly obligation. Mark Jeong’s Greek Reader is an ideal companion in the teaching of Greek because it invites students into a world of narrative and delight that just happens to teach grammar and syntax along the way. I will be assigning this book every time I teach Greek om now on.” — ERIC D. BARRETO

Princeton Theological Seminary

“What a welcome and necessary addition to the repertoire of tools for Greek teachers! Students o en struggle early on to read well because they read in small chunks and om the biblical text they already know. Jeong provides digestible and intriguing conversations and stories that track with students’ deductive learning, and, because the text is esh, these passages provide a true assessment of the student’s understanding. I look forward to using and recommending this book.”
