Greek Enchiridion: A Concise Handbook of Grammar for Translation and Exegesis

Summary: When Less Is More...
Review: "Enchiridion" is a compound word from the Greek, meaning roughly "something you can hold in your own hand." In this case the "something" is a modern, well-organised and easy-to-use reference for New Testament Greek. Such a work necessarily leaves much out in order to remain small and manageable, but NT exegetes are unlikely to have only this book in their arsenal of interpretation.

I know of no other work whose author has done such a good job of separating the "must-have" from "nice-to-have" information. All examples are from the New Testament. One of those rare reference books that one can have with him much of the time instead of having it on a shelf! Even though I have A. T. Robertson et al. available, I use this little book regularly.
