“The Encyclopedia of Biblical Greek Language and Linguistics will prove to be an enormously helpful resource. Its appearance is timely. Stanley Porter and his colleagues have put us all in their debt.”
“One of the most persistent pedagogical flaws in Koine Greek curricula is the assumption that students can move from morphology and grammar to exegesis with little attention to how language actually works. What's needed, then, is not simply another introductory textbook or 'intermediate' grammar but a resource that introduces the features of ancient Greek and the insights of modern linguistics in a way accessible to first- and second-year students. An impossible task? I would have thought so. Yet this is precisely what the Encyclopedia of Biblical Greek Language and Linguistics accomplishes. Every teacher and student of Koine Greek would benefit from this splendid volume; it will certainly become a staple in my own classes.”
“This encyclopedia is a useful and timely resource for those seeking a comprehensive overview of the key concepts in and contributors to contemporary study of Biblical Greek grammar and relevant linguistic theory. This veritable one-stop shop introduces readers to all the important scholarly discussions and directs them to many of the essential resources needed to deepen their understanding of the issues. Highly recommended for students, teachers, and scholars of all levels!”
