Summary: You got to have it! One of the best grammars.
Review: A clear presentation of greek grammatical categories.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Quick Review
Review: A great follow-up to "Mounce's Basics of Biblical Greek" (ISBN: 0310232112).

Go here for more advanced studies in Koine Greek.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Invaluable sourcebook for advanced Greek students
Review: Any student of Koine Greek will greatly benefit from this well-written and exhaustively researched volume. Alongside your BAGD, you will find this text invaluable. Wallace not only shares his considerable knowledge gleaned over decades of teaching, but he manages to keep the content interesting and even (gasp) fun!

Affectionately known as "big green" among my seminary classmates, Wallace's advanced grammar has made our study of the GNT both easier and more complete. Kudos to Dr. Wallace on this fine work.

Summary: Should be read by every pastor, author, and teacher!
Review: Daniel Wallace has a God given gift for knowledge and understanding of the New Testament. I have heard him in a debate and read many of his articles on his website. He seems to make the New Testament come alive.
The Grammar is divided up into different morphological forms [Nominative, Genitive, Aorist, Present, etc.] and the syntactical functions of each are discussed in great detail. Most helpful are the "Key to Identification" sections and the lists of clear examples.
I consult this grammar with great regularity along with A.T. Robertson and Blass-Debrunner-Funk. It is so wonderful to see someone like Daniel Wallace showing how to be careful with the biblical text. Through the notes on his examples, he shows how we can often times think that the meaning of a text is "obvious," yet we only think it is obvious because we are being careless about our interpretation. Wallace calls us, as interpreters of the New Testament, to accurately exegete the text on the basis of sound syntactical analysis. He says that the vast majority of students do not see the relevance of syntax in exegesis, and it is the task of this book to show this.

Again, highly recommended to anyone wanting to "rightly divide the word of truth."

Summary: A Great Grammar
Review: I actually found this book years ago when I knew no Greek at all and was looking for grammars of the Attic dialect. I had no idea that I would one day commit myself to the understanding of the bible. It is actually through an advertisement in the back of this book that I found the whole Zondervan line, including William Mounce's fantastic introductory grammar. Now, years later, as I prepare for seminary, I find that I am already equipped with most of the Greek textsbooks that I will need there.

This book is a real treasure. Long before I could read any Greek I combed over the excellent essays at the beginning about the nature of New Testament Greek and the issues of teaching and learning Greek in his "purpose of this book" essay. Also, the book is designed as a reference, giving you everything you ever wanted to know about cases in one swoop, then verbs in one swoop, etc., yet Wallace keeps the various components of the Greek language distinct from one another and is very meticulous in assuming greater knowledge from the student as one works through the book, indicating that it is designed to be methodically worked through from beginning to end in seminary courses. The result is a teaching aid that is a well-indexed reference, usable for one's entire lifetime. Also, Wallace includes a number of examples with each of his paragraphs, and each of the examples is translated from the Greek. This is a wonderful boon for someone like me who, though having started Greek 4 years ago before before learning any foreign language, has since learned to speak German and read Hebrew fluently, but never got the time to acquire great fluency in New Testament Greek. My daily biblical studies have prompted me to do many advanced word studies and pose a number of syntactical questions involving Greek, yet I have never really attained the vocabulary or fluency in the language as one who can just pick up a Greek New Testament and read it. In this respect, Wallace's clear language and numerous translated examples have helped me to no end.

I guess what I am trying to say is that this book is very user-friendly and makes a wonderful companion even to beginning students in the language, or for pastors whose Greek has gotten rusty.

Summary: A TREASURE FOR YOUR LIBRARY
Review: I think that what makes Wallace's text such a treasure is that not only does Wallace have a command of his subject which is breathtaking but he has wit and humor. I have enjoyed his text and have found myself being taught with a sense of joy and delight. If you love Greek, the New Testament, and learning, you can't help loving this book. You might notice that Wallace quotes Robertson on the sticky aspects of Greek. See my reveiw of Robertson.

Summary: More Detail Than You Ever Wanted To Know
Review: I used this book side by side with Wallace's shorter book covering the same material. Though it was tough reading at points and seems at times to rabbit trail, this book gives the background and in-depth discussions of the topics that the shorter work does not. This seemed to help me retain the information better since I was working with larger concepts on which to hang the specifics. Just my humble opinion. Your results may very.
