Summary: useful for those who want to read Bible in Greek
Review: A good edition for those interested in reading the new testament in the original Greek. Other options:The Greek New Testament from United Bible Society now in 4th edition Novum Testamentum Graece et Latine (same as this but together with Latin Vulgate) The difference between the one offered by UBS and this one is that this has more footnotes on differences between manuscripts. In this newest edition, the actual textual decisions between the two are the same. The UBS is better for those who want to use the text for translation, and this one is better for those who are interested in studying textual critical issues. Also keep in mind there are many interlinear Bibles out there that are probably better for those whose knowledge of Greek is limited. Take care, however, to distinguish between those which are based on Stephen's 1550 Textus Receptus and those which give a complete apparatus for comparing many manuscripts. Most biblical scholars feel the Textus Receptus was flawed in many ways.

Summary: "Reading the Word of the Lord in the Original"
Review: A great man once wrote, "My soul delights in reading the word of the Lord in the original, and I am determined to pursue the study of [Greek and Hebrew]until I shall become master of them, if I am permitted to live long enough." (February 17, 1836, History of the Church, vol. 2, pg. 396.) This is the perfect text for my purposes -- without the dangerous "crutch" of a parallel English translation, unfettered by the biases and preconceived notions of KJV or NIV text and commentary -- a small edition from which to drink directly from the source. A pure delight to the soul.

Summary: Great!
Review: A lot good information through the critical notes. The text is the same as UBS3. But the church father notes are a nice additional vs. Nestle-Aland edtion.
The dictionary included makes looking anything up easy.

Summary: Christian Criticism
Review: As I ran into this book at my college library, I realized I HAD to get it. There are only two Greek New Testaments that I would recommend. First is the Majority Text by Nelson Publishers- which the KJV is based off of (and of which my school and I hold to), and the Second is this text- which the New International Version is based off of. I would HIGHLY recommend getting both editions, even if you do not hold to the other translations. I ordered the hardcover edition, and fell in love with it immediately. It all ready has been a great contribution, and I would highly recommend it to anyone. This text is Alexandrian for those of you who would care to know, but I would highly recommend buying both...

Summary: Great Greek text.
Review: I bought this not knowing it included the latin new testament too. A surprised, but not an unpleasant one. This remains, in my opinion, the best version of the greek text available.

Summary: "The Book:" athanatos logos autou
Review: I currently own eight copies of Novum Testamentum all in different editions. I found this version, especially the edition printed by the Germans, the most helpful and valuable. I carry it to church, and everywhere I go; I even put it beside my pillow. In fact, this is the book I read daily before heading for bed. Students of the Bible, I recommend you to purchase this copy as soon as you know how.

Summary: WARNING: Not all are English publications
Review: I know, I know, you are thinking, "Of _course_ it isn't English! It's Greek". That's not what I mean, though. Several of the different bindings of the Greek New Testament all share the same set of reviews on the amazon.com web page, but they are not all the same book. For example, the "hardcover" binding that I ordered, if you look very carefully at the image of the front page, has the sub-title "con Introduccion en Castellano" and "DICCIONARIO". Unfortunately, what this means is, I received the Greek text I expected, but the preface at the beginning has been translated into Spanish, and the dictionary in the back is a Greek-Spanish dictionary, not a Greek-English dictionary. However, much of the other material does contain a curious mix of English and Spanish. The maps are English, the indexes are English, and the footnotes are English. So look carefully at the sample pages from the book you want to order. I noticed that there were some other ones that were German. There is nothing other than the sample pages to indicate that these are foreign-language books. On the other hand, I concur with all of the other folks that this is a nice Greek edition. I particularly like the sturdy binding, and the fact that the book lays open very easily without the slightest tendency to close itself. The book has a nice weight to it, too, and the pages turn easily. (Sometimes with Bible texts I have particular difficulty getting ahold of individual pages.) The size is just right for me, too. Bigger than pocket or palm sized, but not so large that it is a burden. The Greek text is perfectly readable, not at all too small.

Summary: Arguably the BEST "Critical Edition" of the Greek N T
Review: I own both the UBS text and the Nestle Aland text. As noted by the previous reviewer, there are some differences in how the UBS text notes variant readings. I find the UBS method to be both more complete and easier to read. (See below on the commentary available). I also find the text to be easier to read (slightly larger print, and I think the style of print is easier to read too). A point of clarification, though, regarding the basic Greek Text. My understanding is that there is very little if any difference IN THE GREEK TEXT between these two editions. They BOTH rely and build upon the work of Wescott and Hort in textual criticism, and reach very similar conclusions about the "best readings" for any given variant. The companion volume (A Textual Commentary) also published by UBS is a GREAT addition. It helps you understand why the committee reached the conclusions they did about which reading may be the best reading. Note; whenever a variant reading exists in the extensive library of ancient manuscripts, it is noted in the footnotes (Critical Apparatus). There is also a note as to how comfortable the committee was about their selection of the best text. An "A" rating means that there is no question in their minds. A "D" rating might mean that the selected reading is only very slightly more likely to be the original reading than one of the other variants. (I hope that is clear). In some cases I have taken exception with their decision on "D" readings, and it helps to know that they were not completely comfortable with the choice they had made. One advantage of the Nestle text is that it is just slightly smaller and easier to carry (a vest pocket edition. (As noted above, you pay for the size in it being not as easy to read.) My copy of Nestle is cloth bound while the UBS text is bound in vinyl/plastic. My UBS text has proven to be very durable. A word of caution... don't leave it on the dashboard or seat of your car on a hot day. The heat WILL damage the binding.
