Biblical Greek Laminated Sheet (Zondervan Get an A! Study Guides)

Great tool for Greek courses

This chart is a very good review of the basics. I have used it several times since it arrived. Now, speaking about Delivery. Report says it was placed in my mailbox. Nope, didn't fit. This item and the Jewish New Testament Commentary were left on the ground outside my garage entry door. When my wife picked the package up, it was ripped the entire length of the package. Luckily no damage was done to the contents and both items were just fine. Luck? Or just bad attempt to stuff the package in a too small mailbox.

Loved the quick reference

1. As I've noted in the headline, this is not a useful item for people who don't already have some preparation. It is the equivalent of a list of reminders you might write out for yourself, to prompt your memory of things you already have learned. A lot of it will make sense only if you have sufficient background to recognize what is being listed (for instance, if you have had enough Greek to know what "First and Second Declension Nouns" are, you will know what the list with that title is for; if not, not!). It's certainly not a sheet you'd find useful for faking your way through a Greek exam if you haven't been doing the work! 2. As the title indicates, this is for Biblical Greek, i.e. 1st century C.E. Some of the verb endings, for instance, are different from verb endings in Greek as it was written in the 400s B.C. Again, if you compare the sheet with, for instance, the conjugations you'll find in a typical Classical Greek textbook, you will find slight variations. 3. Related to the previous note is a reminder that the sheet is laminated. This means you can't make hand-written additions. On the other hand, I was pleasantly surprised when I received the sheet to realize it is a folded folio (i.e. four pages, not just the front and back of one sheet). When this sheet arrived, I was not at all disappointed, and I will find it very useful, but other people may have problems that it will not solve. I couldn't find on Amazon a sheet of more general usefulness such as the Quick Study Language Latin Grammar sheet, which is six pages and starts from a more basic and mainstream level (i.e. appropriate for study of the 'central' Latin texts such as Ovid, etc.).

This is very helpful to me when using my other exegetical tools. I work with various Bible translations, an Interlinear Bible, various translations, Strongs' aids, Theological Dictionaries of both the OT and the NT, word studies, and commentaries to get a well rounded picture or the action in the Word of God. This helps me to physically keep track of where I am and to locate the particular words I am focusing on through the range of study aids I am using.

I ordered this sheet based on the recommendation of my professor. I was looking forward to having a 1 stop reference sheet. However, I didn't end up using this as much as I thought I would. I couldn't always find the exact help that I needed. I think that the information on this sheet is very "generic" because they need to fit so much information onto limited space.I carried this around with me everywhere when I was studying Greek. It was useful, but it was not the amazing resource that I wanted it to be.

This is great to keep me from having to constantly flip back in the book for memorization purposes. I've found, the more available something is, the easier it is to memorize. I didn't read the other reviews, so I'm not sure if others listed what was in this, but here are the contents:Front page:Greek AlphabetCase Endings and 8 Noun RulesDefinite Article, Relative PronounFirst and Second Declension NounsPreposition diagramSecond page:Personal Pronouns, Demonstrative, Interrogative, Indefinite RelativeAdjectivesThird DeclensionMaster Personal Ending ChartMaster Verb Chart3 Verbal Root PatternsThird page:IndicativeMaster Nonindicative Verb ChartContract VerbsLiquid IndicativeOverview of SubjunctiveFourth (back) page:Principle Parts of Common VerbsMaster Participle ChartAthematic Conjugations
