 A.C.Pike

Introduction

Here are some book recommendations and links for Christians who want to either learn Biblical Greek or to be able to have a working knowledge of being able to refer to and quote Greek words for preparing sermons or for personal/family home study.

Greek Text

There is a useful website named, 'Textus Receptus Bibles.' It contains the main Greek Texts of Robert Estienne, Theodore Beza, Elvizer, and the later Text of Scrivener. It can be found at: Textus Receptus Bibles

The Bible Gateway has the facility to have the AV/KJV Bible and the Stephanus Greek New Testament side by side so that you can read both Texts together: John 1 KJV;TR1550 - In the beginning was the Word, and the - Bible Gateway

Then there is J.P Green's Interlinear Bible that contains the AV/KJV Bible, the Greek Text, and a word-for-word translation in English. It exists as a hard copy so that you can have a physical book in your Library so that you can use it regularly in your studies: The Interlinear Bible, J.P. Green (#8137) - Bible Truth Publishers

Study Tools

The most common one used amongst Bible students is 'Strong's Concordance' : Strong's Exhaustive Concordance of the Bible. It is a concise Concordance of Biblical words that enables you to look up the meaning and definition of various words and their meaning in the Greek Language. 

A good dictionary is the 'Oxford Classical Greek Dictionary' by Oxford Press (OUP Oxford): The Pocket Oxford Classical Greek Dictionary - James Morwood, John Taylor - Oxford University Press . Although it is a Classical Greek Dictionary, and not a Koine Greek one, it is an essential and invaluable tool to have. 

Another good resource is Liddel and Scott's Greek English Lexicon: A Greek-English Lexicon - H. G. Liddell, R. Scott, Henry Stuart Jones, Roderick McKenzie, P. G. W. Glare, A. A. Thompson - Oxford University Press . This is probably the best Greek learning material (Lexicon) a student can own. 

Another important resource is a Bill Mounce's 'Biblical Greek Grammar': Basics of Biblical Greek: Grammar | billmounce.com . This is the one that most modern Bible Colleges use.

Conclusion

There are many other great tools and resources that I could recommend, but for now, I will start with these ones.

I hope you found these resources helpful, and I hope that you and others are blessed by them.
