'Dr Steffen G. Jenkins draws on a wealth of knowledge in this comprehensive textbook. Familiar not only with the classical and biblical languages, but also with the most up-to-date findings of modern - not least contrastive - linguistics, he endeavours to guide more or less experienced students of Ancient Greek, especially of the New Testament variety, to real linguistic competence. The starting point is Jeremy Duff's proven textbook The Elements of New Testament Greek. On the one hand, Dr Jenkins guides the learner through the twenty chapters of Duff's textbook. On the other hand, he provides valuable additional information (this on the use of the accents and all areas of morphology and syntax). A particular focus of Dr Jenkins' textbook is on the readings, which include some from the New Testament as well as numerous classical and post-classical texts based on the originals. Those who take the time to work through this impressive material step by step will, I believe, be richly rewarded!'
