Campbell’s Advances in the Study of Greek intends to fill a significant gap in the education of a student of New Testament Greek. Most first year Greek classes are concerned with the details of the language (vocabulary and basic syntax). If students move on to intermediate Greek they are only introduced to linguistics in a very general sense.

The summaries of current literature in biblical studies are excellent, especially the chapters on Levinsohn and Runge. Care should be taken to read the chapters on linguistics with a critical eye. Overall a good resource for students looking to access scholarship on Koine Greek.

This New Testament Greek course is based on a series of lessons given for a week at a Seminary in the U.K. in August, 2019. The method used in the style of teaching was to regard the Koine Greek language as a living language and learn it in a similar way we learn our own mother tongue. As babies and young children, we learn by listening, seeing and copying our parents. Many Bible Colleges and Seminaries still use the traditional way to teach Greek, Hebrew, Aramaic and Latin. In the UK Jeremy Duff's book, The Elements of New Testament Greek is widely used. It is based on John Wenham’s book which in turn was based on H. P. V. Nunn’s book of the same title first published in 1914. One century later, little has changed. The student is immediately confronted with the alphabet, grammar and paradigms of noun declensions and verb conjugations of the different categories. Learning the language which God chose to reveal the divinely inspired New Testament becomes a loathsome chore. Grammar is necessary but it ought to be learnt at a later stage. Young children have learnt an extensive vocabulary and can articulate sentences without knowing the grammatical terminology. Some children are bilingual and have the ability to translate from one language to another automatically, without knowing the underlying grammatical jargon and rules. This course aims to introduce the language in a natural way. Noun declensions and verb conjugations come in the latter part. Of course, if one wishes to become proficient one ought to learn the grammar and read the NT in Greek throughout one's life.
