This classic introduction is designed for learners who are beginning the study of the New Testament in Greek, whether approaching the language for the very first time or seeking to strengthen insufficient foundations. More than seventy-five years after its original publication, this revised edition preserves the clarity and organization of J. Gresham Machen’s method while adapting to the needs of modern readers who may not possess prior knowledge of Latin or advanced grammar. Rather than offering a purely descriptive grammar, the book emphasizes active reading of the biblical text, presenting carefully sequenced explanations drawn from the author’s extensive teaching experience. Each grammatical concept is introduced progressively, illustrated with practical exercises, and reinforced with a concise vocabulary limited to the most essential forms. This structured approach provides students with the tools necessary to gain confidence in biblical Greek, making it accessible to theology students, seminarians, and independent learners alike. Combining academic rigor with pedagogical clarity, New Testament Greek for Beginners remains one of the most reliable and enduring guides to the study of Koine Greek and the Greek New Testament. John Gresham Machen (July 28, 1881–January 1, 1937) was an American Presbyterian theologian in the early twentieth century. He was the professor of New Testament at Princeton Seminary between 1915 and 1929, and led a conservative revolt against modernist theology at Princeton and formed Westminster Theological Seminary as a more orthodox alternative.
