| | Sometimes things happen at just the wrong time. Like the way that schools I have attended--high school, college, and graduate school--seem to renovate their buildings the year after I leave or would have qualified to use/stay in them. But sometimes things happen at just the right time, too...
The year before I started taking Greek, Zondervan published a neat little volume called A Reader's Greek New Testament. In it is the Greek text underlying the NIV along with a gloss of every word that occurs fewer than 30 times in the New Testament in footnotes. This is a great tool for keeping up with your Greek. Since then, they've released a 2nd edition that is said to have clearer font, a glossary at the back defining those words occurring 30x or more, a few color maps, and a ribbon/bookmark. (The link is for the 2nd edition.)
Now I'm done with Greek and have just moved on to Hebrew. Just this last Spring, Zondervan published a sort of companion volume for the Old Testament called A Reader's Hebrew Bible. Similarly to the NT version, this contains the Hebrew text along with a gloss of every word that occurs fewer than 100x in the footnotes. The appendices also include a glossary of words occurring 100x or more. I haven't had a chance to examine one in real life yet, but I have a feeling I may be getting one after the summer. If you have seen or used this text, I'd appreciate your comments. |
