GREEK REFERENCE WORKS Beginner's Grammar of the Greek New Testament (W. H. Davis)
Among Davis' credentials is his personal tutelage as a former student under the renown A.T. Robertson. That, accompanied by his instruction of all eight cases of nouns, his limitation of Greek exercises to Scripture passages, and his manageable lists of vocabulary, continue to make this classic grammar a worthy beginning Greek instructional tool.
Lexical AIDS for Students of New Testament Greek (Bruce M. Metzger)
A must vocabulary tool for every beginning Greek student! Includes all word used ten or more times in the New Testament. Listed in logically appropriate categories by frequency of occurrence.
A Reader's Greek-English Lexicon of the New Testament (Sakae Kubo)
Kubo tracks all of the Greek vocabulary book by book with a unique categorization that must be observed to be fully appreciated. Also a "must" reference work for those who want to move forward with their command of Greek vocabulary and easy of New Testament study in the original text. An added feature (for the beginning Greek student) of Kubo's work is his numbered alphabetical listing (appendix) of the 301 words used more than 50 times in the New Testament. A nice, concise, handy listing of all the "everyday" words that all beginning students must learn (and soon take for granted) because of their appearance frequencies. Syntax of New Testament Greek (Brooks, James A; Carlton L Winberry)
The beauty of this Advanced Greek syntax reference book is its layout, clarity, and broad use of multiple scriptural examples of the Greek syntactical functions being presented. In it's own right, it can hold it's place with classic works like Dana and Mantey's Manual Grammar of the Greek New Testament.
English Grammar to Ace New Testament Greek (Dr. Samuel Lamerson) Get over your terminology (and other) "heebie-jeebies" with this helpful and purposefully humorous, scholarly work from the head of the New Testament department of Knox Theological Seminary, Ft. Lauderdale, FL. Even non-Elvis fans doubling as beginning Greek students will be able to appreciate Dr. Lamerson's didactics revealed in chapters such as, "You Ain't Nothin' But a Noun Dog!"

Wermuth's "It's All Greek to YOU!" GREEK VOCABULARY All the New Testament Greek Vocabulary in W.H. Davis' Beginning Grammar **
Listed in textbook appearance order, this textbook-inclusive itemization of New Testament Greek vocabulary is accompanied by a numerical conflation of Sake Kubo's Reader's Lexicon words used more than 50 times and Metzger's Lexical Aids words used from 10 times all the way up to 46-49 times. **(Only includes the 489 New Testament words presented within the Davis grammar.)
Lexical Aids for Students of New Testament Greek (Bruce M. Metzger)
A "must" vocabulary tool for every beginning Greek student! Includes all word used ten or more times in the New Testament. Listed in logically appropriate categories by frequency of occurence. All the Vocabulary (10x+) in the Greek New Testament: Alpha-Numeric Listing Here’s a viewable, downloadable PDF comprehensive alpha-numeric lexical listing of all of the vocabulary used (10x+) in the N.T. (1,067 words) as found in Bruce Metzger’s Lexical Aids. I created this “numbered” listing to allow for organized “bookkeeping” when students are attempting to track the vocabulary they have encountered within a given Greek grammar and have made (or need to make) vocabulary cards for. The list also shows how many words are encountered within a given frequency of occurrence (info that Metzger omits from his book). If a student only “numbered” his vocab cards, the number itself would reveal the relative “importance” of the word (re: its frequency of use in the N.T.). The lower the number, the more frequently the word is used; the higher the number, the less frequent. I tend to think, too, that it’s the middle range of words (20-30x or so) that need the most concentration, since we see them not so often as to know them “inherently,” but often enough to warrant knowledge of them, particularly if they have strong theological importance.
For an online flashcard study of all the New Testament words occurring more than 10 times per Bruce Metzger’s Lexical Aids for Students of New Testament Greek frequency lists (supported with words noted by Sake Kubo from his Reader’s Lexicon of the Greek New Testament >50x word usage appendix), click here. Each Greek vocabulary word occurs not only on the front of the vocabulary card, but also on the back of the card—with the definition immediately under it. In this way, you are associating the original Greek word with its definition, so that, when you turn the card over to the front side—even though the "answer" is not really there—after repetitive viewings you will actually “see” the definition under the Greek word on the front side of the card as well! Some cards also include a "third side" clue to the word's meaning (see example below).
Here's a visual example, via screen shots (click each to enlarge), of what you'll find once you're on the "Flashcard Exchange" (.com) site.

POWERPOINT PRESENTATIONS The following Greek Nouns Declensions chart, available here as a PowerPoint presentation, details all of the types and genders of nouns that the New Testament Greek student will encounter. I know of no other paradigm in existence that condenses all of these case endings into a single, concise chart of all Greek Noun Declensions. I call it the "satellite view" of all Greek Nouns. Apart from this, the value of this particular chart is found mainly in the horizontal relationships existing between nouns that can be clearly seen in this layout. Assisting in the memorization of these endings are the use of arrows showing continuity, and yellow highlights denoting pattern shifts.

Aug 8, 2006 The “History” Behind the GREEKBOOKIt has long been my belief that students of beginning New Testament Greek grammar seek a systematic way to study and retain the structural elements of the various grammatical components of the language. Over many years as an instructor in beginning Greek, my observation has been that many students have tried, in a sense, to “re-invent the wheel” when it comes to memory systems or paradigms for Greek verbs, nouns, participles and the like. To the credit of my beginning Greek instructor in 1981-82, the late Charles Wenzel, who taught at Columbia Bible College (now Columbia International University and Seminary) in South Carolina, that “wheel” already exists within the pages of this GREEKBOOK. I became enamored with the original language of the New Testament very quickly. Moreover, I was instantly enthralled with the teaching methodology employed by my beginning Greek instructor, who frequently reminded his students that, “Although I have tried, I just can’t make this stuff hard!” What he spent much of his life on, I have continued to develop and expand upon over a 25-year period. Greek has indeed become my academic “first love,” and these instructional tools my life’s legacy to future generations of beginning and ongoing New Testament Greek students.

To the New Testament Greek Student  All I have ever expected of my beginning Greek students is faithful attendance, faithful participation, and faithful obedience to my “shepherding” them through our language studies. Those who have joined me in this process have, to a person, consistently secured a joyful mastery of the fundamentals of this God-appointed, exciting, precise language of the New Testament. If you are “faithful with little,” God will make you “faithful with much.” This supplemental grammar is not just for beginning Greek students, but also for those who have previously studied Greek. Current seminarians, pastors, and other full-time Christian ministers will find these materials indispensable for solidifying their grasp of New Testament Greek fundamentals. I exhort and encourage you to be faithful in your Greek studies by taking advantage of this and other valuable Greek study tools. If you do, you will broaden not only your own perspective and appreciation for God’s Word as found in the New Testament, you also will be more thoroughly equipped to equip those that God places under your charge, in your homes and within the Church of Jesus Christ.

Testimonials
Dr. Samuel Lamerson, Associate Professor of New Testament and Dean of Faculty, Knox Seminary: Assistant Pastor, Coral Ridge Presbyterian Church, Ft. Lauderdale, Florida
"Robert Wermuth's GREEKBOOK is a great help to those who need to see the noun and verb charted completely, and even for those who don't. This book has charts that no other book (that I am familiar with) has."
Rev. Chris Smith, Pastor, Resurrection Presbyterian Church, St. Louis, Missouri "Studying, understanding, and delighting in language is in Robert Wermuth's blood, and his first love among languages is New Testament Greek. Robert's passion is teaching others, and not only is his enthusiasm infectious, but his methods are effective in helping his students get a firm handle on Greek. Through years of personal study, tutoring individuals, and teaching in a classroom setting, Robert has reshaped and refined his material into the book you have before you. In a very short period of time, using the methods that Robert developed, I was able to recapture the Greek that I'd first learned in seminary. I eagerly commend to you Wermuth’s GREEKBOOK. I’m certain that it will be a great help to those who wish to read and understand the New Testament in the original language."
Rev. Robert Smart, Lead Pastor, Christ Church (PCA), Bloomington-Normal, Illinois; Adjunct Homiletics Instructor, Covenant Theological Seminary, St. Louis, Missouri "The first discoveries of the original languages of Holy Scripture play a big factor in how long and joyfully a bible student will keep digging for new treasures. Robert Wermuth’s masterful way of teaching not only introduced me to Greek but gave me confidence to go on from this strong foundation to life-changing exegesis."
Dr. Daniel W. Zink, Assistant Professor of Practical Theology, Covenant Theological Seminary, St. Louis, Missouri "Learning a language is never easy, but, in my experience, Robert Wermuth’s materials made it easier. The systems built into his approach made learning logical and efficient. Robert has done the work of finding the patterns that, when learned, allow the student to build new learning on top of what he has previously learned. In this way, the new things are not as new as they might initially appear."
Rev. Jeffrey J. Meyers, Pastor, Providence Reformed Presbyterian Church, Crestwood, Missouri
"If you are interested in learning Greek for the first time or need to bone up on your knowledge for New Testament studies, I highly recommend Wermuth’s GREEKBOOK. At Covenant Seminary, Robert's note-taking skills and ability to systematize complex subjects in charts and diagrams were legendary. Robert brings his love of Greek and his hands-on understanding of pedagogy to this newer work. The charts alone are worth the price of the book."
Luke B. Bobo, Director and Assistant Professor of Christian Ministry Studies, Lindenwood College of Individualized Education (LCIE), Lindenwood University, St. Charles, Missouri
"I am impressed with Robert's teaching style. He makes learning an ancient language exciting. God has blessed him with a rare gift." "During the year I studied Greek under Mr. Wermuth, he gave me many helpful insights into the logic of the language, completely eliminating the whole idea of memorizing every variant of every verb and noun individually. He demonstrated the patterns behind those variations, so that studying Greek became a process of understanding and not just memorization. It is extremely exciting to see this wonderfully useful information, most of which I have not seen in any previous Greek grammar or aid I tried, put into one logically organized book. To an introductory Greek student, the techniques of Wermuth’s GREEKBOOK make a daunting project seem attainable and, for a continuing Greek student, it is an essential reference." Mark Schutzius (former beginning Greek student), graduate student Mid-America Baptist Theological Seminary, Cordova, Tennessee; B.A., Lindenwood University, St. Charles, Missouri "You really should know how much of help your book has been for me down here . . . People call your book book the 'magic book!'"
Thank you for your fine teaching of Greek in the summer of 1989. I now use Greek regularly as an editor/proofreader of theological books.
The Brookmans (Marianne, Janet, Abigail, and Grace), homeschool family, St. Louis, Missouri "We are a homeschool family that has thoroughly enjoyed taking New Testament Greek from Robert Wermuth. This GREEKBOOK puts together many of the helpful references he provided to us in class. It is a wonderful resource that will enable the Greek student to better understand God's amazing Word."
Aug 3, 2006 From the Classroom
There is a widely known television commercial that always ended with “…and, we’ll
keep the light on for you.” The following alphabetical list of summary statements and explanations gleaned from my beginning New Testament Greek classroom instruction is intended to do just that: to help you “keep the light on” in your recognition and comprehension of various Greek grammatical structures, rules, or endings. While not an exhaustive list, the following includes much of what I encourage students to actually “write down” as we proceed through the various stages of beginning Greek. And, while not as personal as it might occur in a “live” classroom environment, I trust that it will be helpful to you as well.
