The UBS Greek New Testament: A Reader’s Edition
Hendrickson, 2007
712 pages
Purchase from Amazon.COM or Amazon.CA.

The concept of this GNT is pretty simple: help novices learn to read Greek. It assumes at least an introductory year of NT Greek.

In place of the standard UBS apparatus sits the footnotes. All words (except the obvious ones that can be ’sounded out’) that occur less than 30 times are footnoted in the running dictionary. Irregular and difficult verb forms are also footnoted with their parsing.
Additionally their is a small dictionary of words occuring more than 30 times in the back of the book. The 2nd year Greek student needs no more than this book to continue the journey of learning NT Greek.

I would heartily recommend this book to any students who have finished their first year and are either done with their formal Greek training, or are continuing on. This is the NT book you want to have with you on Sunday morning while you are following the sermon. And for Greek teachers doing second year reading courses, I would recommend it as a good choice for your students.
