Summary: Somewhat disappointed
Review: I am just a beginner in NT Greek, but I do know the alphabet, and have been disappointed when using this resource in conjunction with Thayer's Greek-English Lexicon, because the Greek spelling of the words (in some cases) don't match between the two. Maybe this is due to a fact that I'm ignorant of; if so, then I apologize - yet it still is confusing. Additionally, it is not coded to Strong's numbers (which is very handy if the spelling is not identical between two works).

Summary: Perfect book for Greek learners
Review: Please do not listen to "A reader from San Diego, CA USA ". He is talking about a different book. This book only has one translation, not two as he states. The print is big and easy to read. The type set is perfect and the same through the book. Everything is perfect. The only drawback is the NIV but you can get other translations. The book that have two translations are small as he says but not this book because it only has one translation.

Summary: Wonderful Interlinear Bible! - Wait until you see the Greek!
Review: [Wonderful Interlinear Bible! - Wait until you see the Greek!]

You will not believe what you will find! You will see that often a number of different Greek words are translated into a single English word. Here are a few examples:

@ Were the three wisemen really called "wisemen" or were they "magi" (non-Jews)? Were there really three? Mt 2

@ Were Jesus' brothers and sisters really blood relatives? See Mt 13:55, Mark 31-35

@ Did the wine really turn to blood or did they mean that figuratively? See Mt 26:28

@ Notice in the story of the adulteress in John 8 that the second time Jesus writes in the dirt, he is actually categorizing (8:8). The first time Jesus Writes he is actually just writing (8:6). But in most translations, the word "write" is used in both cases.

@ What did Jesus really call his mom at the Wedding At Cana? (John 2) Was it really "dearest Woman" as some translations show?

@ What did Jesus mean in In Mt 23:8 when he said to call no man Father?

You will need a good Greek-English dictionary like the The Oxford Greek Dictionary. This way you can look up the words in Greek for yourself and see the full meaning of a key word. You will be amazed what you will find!

You might also consider the larger print but more expensive version (...)
